Hello
While i was working on my interpretation coures, i've encountered a sentence that i can not understand.
Since there is no English-experts around me, I deceded to ask for help from Q&A section.

Below is the sentence
[Because horses cannot see red,Hook's prototype eyes used cameras and programmingto strip red from the cisible spectrum.]

I could understand what it is about since the context is clear though i am not so sure if this is grammatically correct. So how i assume wouldbe probably 80% correct but, I would like to know how it is correct and so thati could make my comprehension perfect.

best regards.

Hello Je Il,

Thank you for your question.

I believe the sentence you are asking is from our translation course in Module 3-3.

[Because horses cannot see red, Hook’s prototype eyes used cameras and programming to strip red from the visible spectrum.]

I do not see any grammatical error in this sentence. If you can specify which part of this sentence’s grammar is not clear to you, I will be able to explain better, perhaps. As this course focuses on translation between English and Korean, I will not be lecturing on the specific aspects of English grammar; however, generally breaking down the sentence into pieces and translating them separately could help you to have a better understanding:


1. Because horses cannot see red [말들은 빨강/빨간색을 볼 수 없기 때문에]

2. Hook’s prototype eyes [Hook의 원형/시제품/프로토타입 안구는]

3. used [사용했다]

4. cameras and programming [카메라와 프로그래밍을]

5. to strip red [빨간색을 없애다/떼어내다]

6. from the visible spectrum [가시/볼수있는 스펙트럼/범위에서]

I hope it helps. Let me know if you have more questions or concerns!

Best regards,

Mason U, CMI-Korean

My god, I was totally misunderstanding.
didn't even think about that it was sot simople like that.
Thanks a lot.

by the way, I know this is not a proper way to ask a question though.
Upon the detail score i got a comment from you and told that i've got some errors.
Is there any way i can get a feed back for my errors?
