Disadvantages Of Translation

Language corresponds to countless appellations, as the expresser of thought and ultimate origin of philosophy, influencing the world of knowledge with its astonishing qualities. The very essence of cooperation and communication relies eternally on the inspired art of language, without which any possible human development could occur. Furthermore, the perception of verbal communication splits between two realms, reality and literature, constituting two linguistic variations, figurative and literal. Throughout the world of literature, figurative language adds depth and dimension to

Language is a very import part in our life, we carry it with us through all the steps, processes, moments experiences of our life, language built us and make us grow and the most important thing is that it grows with us, changes, modifies itself, and becomes more appropriate and specific. As we pointed out language help us to create and understand the world around us, gives meaning to everything and gives birth to emotions and feelings; a world without language would be meaningless and very lonely. Language it’s what help us grow up, the more we learn through it, the more we desire to experience and study in deep, leading us to new prospective, opening our mind to more specific and deep concepts, ideas, projects, goals. We really can’t

Salman Rushdie once said, “The word 'translation' comes, etymologically, from the Latin [word] for 'bearing across'. Having been borne across the world, we are translated men. It is normally supposed that something always gets lost in translation; I cling, obstinately to the notion that something can also be gained.”

All the understanding, interacting, and changing during translations are the elements of language. Rios uses examples from his life to portray the different sides to language. The first example of this is the mixture of colors. His mother says the word "limon", which to her means yellow, but in that

Has demonstrated proficiency in writing and understanding both written English and at least one other written non-English language; and is able to translate effectively, accurately, and impartially to and from such language(s) using any necessary specialized vocabulary, terminology and phraseology

Theory of translation: One puts primary emphasis on formal or on functional equivalency bridging into modern language.

Translation is the interpretation that moves from an original text to a version mediated and transported by the translator’s experience. For example, the understanding of a book and interpreting the writing in your own words based on what you get out of the text. People can have different interpretations and it all depends on how they take the author’s tone, style, form, sense, etc. The novel, Sings Preceding the End of the World, by Yuri Herrera is a great novel that permits its readers to travel and adventure the feeling of excitement by creating a story in where a young girl crosses borders and speaks different tongues in order to survive in a new world. It’s translator Lisa Dillman made a great job in translating a novel written in Spanish

Translation holds just as much value to the study of humanities and social sciences as language does by itself. Without proper translation of language, the entire message of the original story can be skewed, therefor changing it for all of time. Jorge Luis Borges (“Translators of The Thousand and One Nights”) gives a great example of this as he depicts the different variations of translation methods of The Thousand and One Nights. He speaks about how each interpreter can leave the recipient of the story with a different message. He goes on to share how some translators focus on the physical settings, some focus on the details (minute details or even a romanticized version), and some are just a pathetic depiction of the original story. The latter is made apparent by Borges openly claiming Galland’s version of The Thousand and One Nights as the weakest out of every version of translation. (Borges 93) If I were the original author or teller of a story, I would want to make sure that the intended significance of my work is captured in the future. We must make sure we respecting our past in this same way. For the future of humanities and social sciences to be successful, we must make sure that we are utilizing our verbal and written language skills to pass our knowledge

The Language Wars have been waged in the realm of English Literature, Language and Linguistics for years. Both sides of the argument are staunch believers in their position, but are more than willing to concede points to the other sides’ favour. In Bryan A. Garner’s essay, “Making Peace in the Language Wars”, he describes himself as a ‘descriptive prescriber’ (Garner, Making Peace in the Language Wars 2008, 270), and offers a truce that fulfils both sides of the argument as the crux of his essay. While the separate sides of the argument are relatively easy to define, it seems that no one sticks to them religiously, and the argument is between individuals fighting over individual points. The two sides are that of the descriptivist and that

For a long time in the 20th century, translation studies followed the linguistic tradition in assuming the notion of equivalence. Translation studies in the linguistic tradition have relied on the notion equivalence. Nowadays equivalence between words in a source text and a target language is also important but other requirements also need to be met. It is specifically apparent in translating scientific texts. One of the other criteria for translation is incorporation of the main ideas and broader meaning of the whole texts. The source text needs to be recognised and understood as a whole, not as sequence of sentences and paragraphs. It should concern the cultural

In the article “Lost in Translation”, the author, Lera Boroditsky, maintains as her thesis that the languages we speak not only reflect or express our thoughts, but also shape the very thoughts we wish to express. Boroditsky begins the main section of her essay with the history of the issue of whether or not languages shape the way speakers think. Charlemagne was the first to think that languages do in fact shape the mindset of speaker, but Noam Chomsky rebutted this idea with his thought that languages do not differ much from each other, thus in turn proposing that linguistic differences do not cause a difference in thinking. Now with scientists

Likewise, translation cannot be considered to interact with the reader, seeking to communicate the meaning of the original text as the content is not essential in our appreciation of the text. His question assumes the original and the translation as distinct categories, both of which, for him, are works of art. Apart from carrying messages and prolonging the value of texts, what is unique to translation is its potential to “express the central reciprocal relationship between languages”(72), its kinship to another language and its potential to bring out the pure language where the “mutually exclusive elements among languages can mingle and supplement one another” (74) and where ‘complementary intentions’ between two languages can be communicated. Therefore, the translator should not be restrained by the burden of relaying what the original means. Benjamin claims that “languages are not strangers to one another, but are, a priori and apart from all historical relationships, interrelated in what they want to express” (72).

Throughout twenty-centuries ago, writers thought that ordinary language and literary language were two different languages. But this is an analytical assumption. There is only one language, which

In this essay I will discuss and comment on Mona Baker’s statement through Skopos theory, one of the most well-known translation theories, and its applications in deferent text types and genera. ( relationship between theory and practice) find out how the translator’s theoretical knowledge is needed in translation field.

Daniel Gouadec (2002: 273) said in Translation as a Profession that "most translation problems and potential risks could be resolved by getting as much information as possible prior to a translation project". As to the translation project in this report, I made preparation in the following aspects:
