question: Write a short dialogue involving two characters discussing the challenges of translating idiomatic expressions. One character must share an idiom from Indonesian and its direct English translation. End the dialogue with the exact sentence: "and that's why language is truly fascinating," she whispered in awe.
answer: **Emma**: Hey, Alex! I've been working on translating some texts, and I've hit a roadblock. Idiomatic expressions are so tricky!
  
  **Alex**: Oh, I can imagine. They often don't make sense when translated literally. Do you have an example?
  
  **Emma**: Yes, there's an Indonesian idiom: "Kambing hitam." It directly translates to "black goat" in English.
  
  **Alex**: Hmm, that doesn't mean much to me. What's it supposed to convey?
  
  **Emma**: In Indonesian, it means a scapegoat—someone who is blamed for something they didn't do.
  
  **Alex**: That's interesting. So, it's about assigning blame unfairly.
  
  **Emma**: Exactly! But if you just translate it word for word, the meaning gets lost.
  
  **Alex**: That's the beauty and complexity of languages, isn't it? Each one has its own unique way of expressing ideas.
  
  **Emma**: Absolutely, and that's why language is truly fascinating," she whispered in awe.
