One of the two examples below is a genuine excerpt from Sarah Palin’s farewell address, the other is the same passage translated (through Google Translate) into Japanese, then Chinese, then German, then Estonian, then Arabic, and then back into English.

Which one is the original Palin speech?
Sample A:
“Here I will show the best kind of trip, the best prices in the United States. Peak, large, and jump to the middle of Sunday night, in addition to this in particular. Winter, when the marble is cold, beautiful and cold, it cannot be separated from the fermented dough, Cheechakos, or frozen conflicts in the street? Only 50 of the 100 degree heat, only two months ago from two months now, not in the Summer – blooming fireweed along the cold in the Summer and merciless river carvings, which brings to mind the noise and spit on the quality of the mother here. Alaska and all of nature, and life, and the future in the north and on the roads. Since this is a day to see. In these limits, we believe that the United States is now, the second problem is that of hope and opportunity, and very proud of the country.”

Sample B:
“And getting up here I say it is the best road trip in America soaring through nature’s finest show. Denali, the great one, soaring under the midnight sun. And then the extremes. In the winter time it’s the frozen road that is competing with the view of ice fogged frigid beauty, the cold though, doesn’t it split the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs? And then in the summertime such extreme summertime about a hundred and fifty degrees hotter than just some months ago, than just some months from now, with fireweed blooming along the frost heaves and merciless rivers that are rushing and carving and reminding us that here, Mother Nature wins. It is as throughout all Alaska that big wild good life teeming along the road that is north to the future. That is what we get to see every day. Now what the rest of America gets to see along with us is in this last frontier there is hope and opportunity and there is country pride.”
