Source (Spanish)	Target (English)
La literatura, en su sentido más amplio, es cualquier trabajo escrito; aunque algunas definiciones incluyen textos hablados o cantados.	Literature, in its broadest sense, is any written work, although some definitions include spoken or sung texts.
En un sentido más restringido y tradicional, es la escritura que posee mérito literario y que privilegia la literariedad, en oposición al lenguaje ordinario.	In a narrower, traditional sense, it is writing that has literary merit and that favors literariness, as opposed to ordinary language.
El término literatura designa también al conjunto de producciones literarias de una nación, de una época o incluso de un género (la literatura griega, la literatura del siglo XVIII, la literatura fantástica, etc.) y al conjunto de obras que versan sobre un arte o una ciencia (literatura médica, jurídica, etc.).	The term literature also designates the set of literary productions of a nation, a time, or even a genre (Greek literature, eighteenth-century literature, fantasy literature, etc.) and the set of works dealing with an art or a science (medical literature, legal, etc.).
En términos artísticos, la literatura es el arte de la palabra, ya sea palabra oral o escrita.	In artistic terms, literature is the art of the word, either oral or written word.
Es estudiada por la teoría literaria.	It is studied by literary theory.

Sample Translation Sports

Source (Spanish)	Target (English)
El deporte es una actividad física reglamentada, normalmente de carácter competitivo, que puede mejorar la condición física (Antúnez, M. 2001) de quien lo practica, y tiene propiedades que lo diferencian del juego.	Sport is a regulated physical activity, normally of a competitive nature, which can improve the physical condition (Antúnez, M. 2001) of the practitioner, and has properties that differentiate it from the game.
La RAE, en su Diccionario de la lengua española, define deporte como una «actividad física, ejercida como juego o competición, cuya práctica supone entrenamiento y sujeción a normas»; también, en una segunda acepción, más amplia, como «recreación, pasatiempo, placer, diversión o ejercicio físico, por lo común al aire libre».	The RAE, in its Dictionary of the Spanish Language, defines sport as a "physical activity, exercised as a game or competition, whose practice involves training and subjection to rules”; also, in a second, broader sense, as "recreation, hobby, pleasure, fun or physical exercise, usually outdoors."
Por otra parte, la Carta Europea del deporte lo define como: «Todas las formas de actividades físicas que mediante una participación organizada o no, tienen como objetivo la expresión o la mejora de la condición física y psíquica, el desarrollo de las relaciones sociales o la obtención de resultados en competición de todos los niveles».	On the other hand, the European Sports Charter defines it as: "All the forms of physical activity that through organized participation or not, have as their objective the expression or the improvement of the physical and mental condition, the development of social relationships or obtaining results in competition at all levels."
Institucionalmente, para que una actividad sea considerada deporte, debe estar avalada por estructuras administrativas y de control reconocidas que se encargan de reglamentarlo (las organizaciones deportivas).	Institutionally, for an activity to be considered sport, it must be supported by recognized administrative and control structures that are in charge of regulating it (sports organizations).
El hecho de que alguna actividad no esté reconocida institucionalmente como deporte, no impide que pueda estarlo popularmente, como ocurre con el deporte rural o con los deportes alternativos.	The fact that any activity is not recognized institutionally as a sport, does not preclude that it can be popularly, as occurs with the rural sport or with the alternative sports.

Hollywood y el Star System	Hollywood and the Star System
En Estados Unidos, el cine tuvo un éxito arrollador, por una peculiar circunstancia social: al ser un país de inmigrantes, muchos de los cuales no hablaban el inglés, tanto el teatro como la prensa o los libros les estaban vedados por la barrera idiomática, y así el cine mudo se transformó en una fuente muy importante de esparcimiento para ellos.	In the United States, the film was an overwhelming success because of a peculiar social circumstance: as a country of immigrants, many of whom didn't speak English, both the theater and the press or books were closed to them because of the language barrier, and thus silent movies became a major source of recreation for them.
Viendo las perspectivas de este negocio, y basándose en su patente sobre el kinetoscopio, Thomas Alva Edison intentó tomar el control de los derechos sobre la explotación del cinematógrafo.	Seeing the prospects of this business, and based on his patent on the kinetoscope, Thomas Alva Edison tried to take control of the exploitation rights of the cinematograph.
El asunto no solo llegó a juicio, de Edison contra los llamados productores independientes, sino que se libró incluso a tiro limpio.	The matter not only came to trial, with Edison against the so-called independent producers, but was even fought in a shootout.
Como consecuencia, los productores independientes emigraron desde Nueva York y la costa este, donde Edison era fuerte, hacia el oeste, recientemente pacificado.	As a result, the independent producers emigrated from New York and the East Coast, where Edison was strong, towards the recently pacified West.
En un pequeño poblado llamado Hollywood, encontraron condiciones ideales para rodar: días soleados casi todo el año, multitud de paisajes que pudieran servir como locaciones, y la cercanía con la frontera de México, en caso de que debieran escapar de la justicia.	In a small town called Hollywood, they found ideal conditions for shooting: sunny days almost the whole year, a multitude of landscapes that could serve as locations, and the proximity to the border of Mexico, in case they must escape justice.
Así nació la llamada Meca del Cine, y Hollywood se transformó en el más importante centro cinematográfico del mundo.	Thus was born the so-called Mecca of Cinema, and Hollywood became the most important cinematographic center in the world.
