The original is English written by a Dutch native speaker. Yes, the
language is a bit weird in English, and probably in Swedish too and
probably in most of the languages, but it's a lot less weird than the
block world text.

It depends on what you are trying to evaluate. We usually use the story
to find the theoretical "upper bound" for the translator. You could
think of it like the "oracle", how good could we get the translation to
be if we implemented all the possible rules.

Of course if you want a real-world evaluation, you need to use separate
texts, but it doesn't remove the value of having an "oracle".
