I have a funny story about seminary meforash translations:
So I was at an interview and translating a meforesh. Problem was, I thought it meant something inappropriate. Now I knew it couldn’t possibly mean that, but the alternate meaning was too obvious for me to see past it. So I told the interviewer I didn’t know what it meant and went on. And I got waitlisted.
(it was something like translating ?????? ????? to “your teeth should be white”. Obviously wrong, but once you look at it that way, impossible to un-see without help.)
