The zebra takes it personally to be interrupted during his gras-dessert which results in a swift kick with his back left. He hits your head by accident. We will plead manslaughter...
I like Vampier's aproach more. Translation is not just exchanging one word for another. Using the "flow" of the language can result in much more compact sentences. So:
"The zebra takes it personally "
"to be interrupted during his "
"gras-dessert which results in "
"a swift kick with his back "
"left leg at your head. "
"We will plead manslaughter... "
"The zebra takes it personally "
"to be interrupted during his "
"grass-dessert which results "
"in a swift kick with his back "
"left leg at your head. "
"We will plead manslaughter... "
Since the translation tries to translate the original Dutch as close as possible, I figure #1 is best.
Only 'lashes out' can be replaced by 'kicks out' instead:
1 The zebra takes offense for "
2 being interrupted during his "
3 grass dessert and kicks out. "
4 By accident he hits your "
5 head. We therefore plead "
6 manslaughter... "
