Even the native original version needs the proper context. Sometimes you need the entire sentence to figure out what the sentence was really about.

I'm reminded of Mark Twain complaining about verbs arriving at the very end of sentencess in German (among a myriad of other complaints)

Sometimes you even need a second sentence of even a few to understand what the first sentence was about.
