Something about translation

664 views. 2010-3-31 12:54 |Individual Classification:Diaries|

Translation is a  social event ,which is cross-linguistic , cross-cultural and cross-social . The translation process is not only a language transformation , but also a culture transformation ,which is a relection of different characteristics of society .
Translation is science ,translation is art and  translation is craft .
 
A successful translator can meet the standard of translation , that is faithfulness , expressiveness and elegance . I admire those smart translator and I should learn from them and  practise more .
Daniel said , ''Just like playing the piano , painting and writting , it needs a long -turn practice to become a successful translator . Everyone can achieve it but not natural- born . I think you can cos you like it .'' I felt happy , thank you for believing in me . I will work harder to improve to a higher level . I 'm sure you are always a succeessful translator and interpreter .
 
 
The following are some good version of translation , excellent.
Also you can see it as a test to check your level .
 
1 Shed corcodiles' tears .     2 John is a bull in a China shop .
3 You flatter me .                  4 A good table
5 If you worked once , it can work twice .
6 Studies serve for delighted , for ornament and for ability .
7 The child has started going on all fours .
8 He has a weakness for smoking .
9 A cat is a cleanly animal .
10 He is dead , as I live .                       
11 His English leaves nothing to be desire .
12 I would rather have his room than his company .
12 Your loss is nothing to mine .
13 You just keep your hair on and listen to me .
14 She not only laughts a lot but has a heart of gold .
15 Babies satisfactorily born .
