In terms of comma placement, does the following rough English translation
match the Japanese?

> 厄介よ、 あの国のマスコミは
>
> How bothersome, that country's mass media.

I know that in terms of proper English, a better translation would be:

> The mass media of that country is certain to be a bother.

However I want to know if there is another way to translate the Japanese so
that the comma is also used in the English translation.




> However I want to know if there is another way to translate the Japanese so
> that the comma is also used in the English translation.

Sure, if you don't mind an unnatural English, you could translate it
literally. However I really don't see the point, English and Japanese are very
different languages in which the ways you start, structure, and end a sentence
are different. The way those languages are constructed is different, and so
on.

You can't just apply the same punctuation rules from one language onto another
without taking the linguistic differences into account.
