Translation Technique by Molina and Albir

As a reader who lacks knowledge of any Spanish vocabulary, coming into contact with passages written in Spanish is confusing and uncomfortable. Without a Spanish tongue, it is quite difficult to process and truly understand Anzaldúa’s message, as this foreign tongue presents large stumbling blocks within the essay that direct my focus away from the purpose of the piece. Sentences containing long chains of Spanish words, such as “Even our own people, other Spanish speakers nos quieren poner candados en la boca,” and, “In the meantime, tenémos que hacer la lucha,” leave me hog-tied and unable to properly read and understand the text as I find myself lost in the foreign string of Spanish terms. However, when the English translation is presented along with the foreign terms, the passage flows smoothly since I’m able to understand the words and their proper meaning relative to the context of the text.

Data collection methods- the researcher needs to pick how the information for this subject can be collected (observation, questionnaires, interviews) and so forth. Analysis and presentation of findings- the researcher needs to use reports and other information gathering it into one to present the hypothesis. Conclusion- what does the studies say about this topic, this is based on all the information that was gathered together to get the correct conclusion.

C. Thesis: Many of us, coming from a Latin background, have hit or at least seen a piñata but none of us really know the true meaning behind it. By the end of this speech, I hope you will know not only know the piñata’s history but also, what it

The novel details their 9 month trip upon Latin America including every detail of discovery and hardship. Each chapter is a new diary entry providing the sequential record of experience which effectively builds the reader’s perspective on the journey and a new perspective of the richness of environment. With this both personal and cultural values affect the process of discovery. Throughout one of the first chapters in the book, the chapter - Until the last tie is broken - we see the adversities and hardships of the journey have commenced where there is no longer any certainty in their lifestyle. The author invites us to experience discovery through the quote, “representing the world I had left for dead behind me and mocking the so called liberation I sought,” which reflects on the new understandings of ourselves and others.

(43)” She also goes on to mention that she wants the readers of this book to be excited about sainetes and tonadillas. She goes on to mention that the translations that are from Spanish to English founded in this book are nobody’s but hers. And she is focusing on the areas of Madrid and Castilla. She had to restrict to it these two areas because in her own words, “… In part because the tonadilla is a particularly madrilenan theatrical form, and in part because my research has for years focused on the eighteenth-century capital. (43)” Moving on to the second chapter of Haidt’s book.

The methodology selected provides the researcher the framework to present information in a logical manner. The methodology section answers two fundamental questions: How data was collected or created and, how the data was examined and determined (Research, n.d.)?

It is common for languages to take words, phrases and meanings from one another, and this is no different than English taking from Greek and Latin. While some Greek or Latin words have been changed into prefixes and suffixes, others have become phrases, and even events have garnered their own meaning by today’s standards. This includes the adaptation to technology, science, military purposes and even everyday use, many of which are significant in their own respective area.

Application of those principles, that is, the analysis and evaluation of the example problem based on the principles, including the final recommendations and their justification

Some linguists claim that dealing with the process of finding equivalence is the most significant issue existing among translation processes and that is one of the mains principles of Western theory of translation. Translation is a mean of communication and in order for it to be effective it is crucial to establish appropriate equivalence between source and target text. Nida defines translation as “reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source-language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style”. (Nida, 1982, p. 12) It is conspicuous that equivalence is one of basic concepts of translation which cannot be overlooked. This complex phenomenon often becomes a measure which helps to define the process of translation. Number of researches stress on the important role of the equivalence for the translation process and it is hard to hard to overestimate the role of equivalence in translation. Use of equivalence translation help people to understand each other and enables achieving communication goals. Achieving maximum linguistic, grammar and structural equivalence is inevitably linked with certain restrictions and limitations but the skilful use of equivalents can undoubtedly benefit the results of translation act. Despite different approaches, the equivalence is an important

of the discourse on method" (8), and provides an analysis of the common elements comprising such discourses. They are

Originally published in the Wall Street Journal in 2010, Lera Boroditsky’s paper titled “Lost in Translation” analyzes the impact language has on thought. Formatted as more of a persuasive than truth seeking essay, Boroditsky begins by asking the reader if the language a person speaks shapes the way they think. This makes the reader believe as though she is truly trying to find an answer to this inquiry, but as the paper goes on, the reader is mostly introduced to evidence that supports Boroditsky’s stance and she merely touches upon the argument of the opposing side. Although Boroditsky does not include more counterarguments, “Lost in Translation” is a well written article which demonstrates that languages indeed shape the way people think through her use of the Rhetorical Triangle, inductive logic, and her stylistic choices.

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).

It is impossible to use active voice when writing methods without using first person. This could divert reader's attention on the researcher rather than the work. Therefore when writing up the methods third person passive voice should be used. Normal prose should be used in each and every section of research paper. Informal lists should be avoided. And make use of complete sentences. Last but not least is the result part of the research conducted by the researcher. The page length of result section is set by the amount and types of data to be reported. Continue to be concise, using figures and table to present results are the most effective means of conveying final results. The purpose of a results section is to present and illustrate researcher’s findings.

The second half of the last century have seen a great advance in translation field ( translation studies discipline ). Which make many translation scholars emphasis on the importantce of knowing the translation theory for the translators since the translation studies become a discipline.Mona Baker stats”

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:
