If anyone can give me a valid explanation of this

"Tragedy is an imitation of an action that is a whole and complete in itself and of a certain magnitude-for a thing may be a whole, and yet have no magnitude to speak of."

aristotle believed that tragedy should be serious, complete and of significant magnitude - meaning that it should produce catharsis, it should have a beginning, middle and end, and that it should be of significant length.

by saying that something can be whole and not have magnitude, all you are really saying is that it has a beginning middle and end but it is rather short. this is true of comedies; comedies are rather short but they have a full story line, while greek tragedies are rather long and also have a story line.

i hope that helps =)

I took the sentence and translated to Spanish with babelfish, and then back to English:

"The tragedy is an imitation of an action that is one whole one and complete in itself and of an insurance magnitude-for a thing it can be a set, but does not have no magnitude to speak of."

This is the result using German:

"Tragedy is an imitation of an activity, the one complete is complete and in itself and from a safe size for a thing its can a whole, and nevertheless no size has to speak to of."
