No, your translation is very good. I mean that if you citate a quotation, it has to be the real thing. passed through 2 languages, it hardly will. you know examples of transaltion-re-translation, don't you

Thanks, Jack.
agree Olga Cartlidge : I would agree if the word "person' could be substituted for "someone" at least once, in the interests of variety : - ))
