Imagine if no one ever thought to translate for the American public, say, the novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky, the poetry of Pablo Neruda, or the diary of Anne Frank? Following the death of Gabriel García Márquez earlier this year, thousands of contemporary writers around the world who read his work in their own languages (thanks to translators) went on record about his influence on their writing and thinking, writers as far apart in style as Haitian-American writer Edwidge Danticat and former U. S. President Bill Clinton. Márquez himself, as a young writer, was profoundly influenced by Franz Kafka, William Faulkner, and Sophocles, all accessible to him because they were translated into Spanish.
Which detail supports the main idea of authors and readers benefiting from reading translated texts?

A) Some people find reading translations of great works very tedious and unenlightening.
B) Translation is extremely important even if it also extremely time-consuming and expensive.
C) Our local book store does not offer many books that are translations for sale to the public.
D) Gabriel Garcia Marquez was influenced by translations of Kafka, Faulkner, and Sophocles.
