Iff a native speaker of the original language reading the original text would find a thing silly, then it's good for that thing to be silly in the translation as well. Otherwise, silliness is not ideal. But it's not the end of the world either.

It's not a test for whether a translation is correct so much as a test for whether a translation is coherent. For another metaphor: you need to know your destination in order to tell whether your taxi has dropped you off at the right place, but you DON'T need to know that in order to tell that your taxi has crashed.
