When the muslim neighbours were killing the sheep at Eid, the entire court would benefit from the celebration, even the non-muslims. | | I have a strong doubt on the name of the celebration. I used wikipedia, and Eid seems the best in english.
<Note from the admins>
"Eid al-Adha", also called "Festival of sacrifice" in English is a muslim celebration during which, an animal, often a sheep, is sacrificed remembering Abraham's trials. |

2009년 5월 24일 21:07 | | | We call le mouton de lait (little sheep) and not de l'Aït. But if l'Aït is the celebration that's correct.
(...) the entire court was enjoying (it's not "enjoying" but something like that... Lilian help!) of the celebration (...) | | |
2009년 5월 24일 21:13 | | | I think "benefit" is fine, they would take advantage of the feast. 
Conditional (would benefit) is also right here.
However you are right, "celebration" would fit better  | | |
2009년 5월 24일 21:21 | | | But "profitait" is the Past and in English is the Conditional   Or not? | | |
2009년 5월 24일 21:24 | | | Yes, but sometimes, the conditional is not rendered as conditional. In English verb tenses are not that simple. That's why literal translations are not always correct 
Believe me, here the conditional is fine | | |

2009년 5월 24일 21:52 | | | To be honest, I would not even be able to explain why I used conditional. It just sounded right.
Lilian, I have a question, why did you edited the translation, modifying the "Eid sheep" into "the sheep at Eid" ? It's a very particular sheep, that's why I wrote that... Explanation ? (God, days of university feel suddenly verrrry far ^^) | | |
2009년 5월 24일 22:31 | | | Hi LeFaune, most of the time what sounds right IS right .
I edited because "Eid" is not a 'kind of sheep', but the sheep which was sacrified at (the time of) Eid. Besides the definite article 'the' makes the particularity.
I hope I made myself understood | | |
2009년 5월 24일 22:51 | | | You're totally right. I read it with that explanation and that's perfect.
