It means that it is much better to read books in original language. However, really gifted translators do their best to keep form and spirit of an author's work. It is very difficult thing to do, especially, for poetry translation. In this situation, a translator is a poet. His/her task is to apply his own talent and,at the same time, to keep poetical style of an original. So, I cannot fully agree with the statement you cited. It depends on quality of a translation.

In general, the idiom GET LOST' can be said with any degree of overtone depending on the intensity of argument and to bring an end to it by saying "get lost !
