\I don't know. "Let it be the Empire" sounds like a nifty new advertising
\slogan. Kind of like "Come back to Jamaica" or "Go with a winner."
"Let it continue to be the empire." Or better yet, "Let it endure the
empire." :-)
\Here's some other possibilities for the Empire to boost its public image:
\
\ may'vaD 'oHHa'chochpu' neH.
"For the battle, un-be want . . . ?"
chay' tera'ngan HolDaq "choch" jatlhlu'? Can't find it.
\ chal vaQ tIpuv.
"Fly the aggressive skies." I like it. :-)
\
\ lay' DIchenmoHbe'taH. tlhIngan DIchenmoHtaH.
"We don't make promises. We make Klingons."
\ toQDuj: "Dujpuvbel" ghajbogh Duj'e'.
"Bird of Prey: the ship that has 'Shipwreck Pleasure'". ??
\ tlha'bogh puqmey' ghom wIv'e'.
"The choice that party children follow" ??
\
\Here are *very* loose translations, rot13'd:
\
\ It's not just for battle anymore.
Ah, so. Still don't see it - I assume "choch" is a typo, but I
don't know for what. :-)
\ Fly the aggressive skies.
\ We don't make promises. We make Klingons.
<blows on fingernails>
\ The Bird of Prey: the ship with "fahrvegnugen."
BWAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!
\ The choice of the Next Generation.
Ah. "puqmeyghom" == generation. The space confused me. Heh. :-)
I like. Here's how I would have translated the first and last ones, just for
comparison:
DaH may'vaD 'oHbe' neH.
puqmeyghom chu' wIv.
So, no comments on the quote in my .sig? :-(
"jIpumpu' 'ej jIpep'eghlaHbe'!" or would it be just "jIpum rIntaH!"? {{:-)
