...texts; a performance of Frank Bridge’s gloriously passionate settings for tenor voice and piano of two poems from The Gardener (composed in 1922: the poems are Nos. 29 and 30, ‘Speak to me, my love’ and ‘Dweller in my deathless dreams’); a presentation on Sriniketan and Dartington (Tagore and Elmhirst) by the The Tagoreans, an old-established London-based group; and a song and dance sequence called ‘The Golden Boat’, designed and performed by the Tagore Centre UK. Also, poem No. 9 from ‘Prantik’ was read in the original Bengali and in English, French, German and Slovenian, to illustrate the ‘third Tagore’ – not the Bengali Rabindranath, not the English Tagore, but the new and fuller impression that is emerging the world over through new translations. One particular memory I shall keep from the evening is the way the two poems I chose from Gitanjali came wonderfully alive as read by my PhD student Mayurika Chakravorty. Listening to her highly dramatic reading in her Calcutta-accented English of Nos. 48 (‘The morning sea of silence’) and 57 (‘Light, my light, the world-filling light’), I realised for the first time that the rhythms of Tagore’s English Gitanjali are Indian rhythms. They need to be read by an Indian voice, with an accent and intonation similar to Tagore’s own, as those were the rhythms that were in his head when he wrote his English versions. It’s taken me...

...STUDY GUIDE: MODULE 1 Fee and Stuart. 1. Know: Hermeneutics is the art and science, or as some would say the theory and practice, of interpretation. 2. What do they say is the aim of a good interpretation? What is not the aim? The aim of good interpretation is not uniqueness; one is not trying to discover what no one else has ever seen before. 3. According to Fee and Stuart, what is the antidote to bad interpretation? Is not no interpretation but good interpretation, based on commonsense guidlelines. 4. They define “The Bible” in part as… The Bible is not a series of… propositions and imperatives; it is not simply a collection of “sayings from chairman God,” as though he looked down on us from heaven and said: “hey you down there, learn these truths. Number 1, there is no God but One, and I am he. Number 2, I am the Creator of all things, including humankind” – and so on, all the way through proposition number 7,777 and imperative number 7777. 5. Know the kinds of “communication” mentioned that God uses to convey his Word. Narrative history, genealogies, chronicles, laws of all kinds, poetry of all kinds, proverbs, prophetic oracles, riddles, drama, biographical sketches, parables, letters, sermons, and apocalypses. 6. “To interpret properly the “then and there” of the biblical texts, you must…” not only know some general rules that apply to all the words of the Bible, but you also need to learn the special rules that apply to each of...

If the existing system is not well-structured, both in terms of its architecture and control-flow, then the resulting system will be of the same poor quality. Automatically generated code may be terribly inefficient. The code produced by translation may also be difficult to understand, greatly increasing its future maintenance costs”.

The basic requirement relevant to good translation is that the translator must have a thorough knowledge of the cultures of both the source language and the target language. The translator needs not sit biting nails and rush to the dictionary every ten minutes. When it has been accepted that translation is not only important but also necessary to our Arab World, there is no point in pondering over the problems of translations. Cultural proximity is a big advantage for translators, it is rewarding for them to look for this when they choose their work. Arabization is part and parcel of the whole journey of the Arab societies to its roots. The starting-off point for any translator is their preferred future; in order to arrive at the destination then it is clearly important to know what the destination is. But it is perhaps better to think 1 Express, an International Journal of Multi Disciplinary Research ...

...Abstract This paper is a brief discussion of the importance of culture for marketing and managing in global markets. The major topics discussed are management styles; product development and management; advertising campaigns, and communication as they are affected by various elements of culture and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. Management Styles Management styles practiced by domestically run companies will differ from management styles practiced in the countries of companies’ foreign operations. These differences are influenced by the elements of culture that make up the learned behaviors or way of life of a country’s or region’s people (Gaspar, 2013). Yuan (2010) describes reasons for conflict between American managers and Chinese employees in Fortune 500 companies, citing one instance in which a Chinese employee responded to an American manager with an estimated number rather than an accurate one. Because of differing values and attitudes among cultures described by Gaspar, the American manager interpreted the Chinese employee’s response as being deceptive. However, the Chinese employee was avoiding shame, which in Chinese culture results from not knowing the answer to a question. Upon understanding this, the trust grew between the American manager and his Chinese employees likely as the result of the manager changing the way he sought information from his employees. Also, in China it is expected that companies pay newspaper reporters for writing a favorable stories, which...

...Longcloud Lamb is a company, specializing in chilled and frozen New Zealand lamb and goat products with a difference: it was organic and exceeded animal welfare stipulations in major export markets. The company manages current wholesale customers in export markets using an e-commerce platform. Sarah Elder is Longcloud’s marketing director. She was looking for a better website in order to target new markets and present on-line offers in different languages. This case is talking about some issues in regards to e-commerce and language in an international business. The four questions of the case will help to deal with these issues. The first question is in which ways culture, religion and language may influence foreign marketing operations in the organic meat business. Meat does not mean the same thing whether you live in a developed country, like U.S, or in a developing one, like India. For example, for most people in the U.S., meat can be a daily meal. They care more about the balance of nutrition. They may be willing to pay more for an organic meat to be living healthier. However, for some people in India, it is still not easy to have meat on their dinner tables every day. To them, meat is just an essential component of survival, nothing more. In their case, there is no possibility that they will pay more money to look for organic meat. Another factor which will affect the meat market is religion. Muslims are not allowed to eat pigs, cows are treated with sincere...

...suitable clients, and once they have found them, one of their main concerns is how to retain them. As a freelancer you may well find that working for translation agencies rather than for private clients offers both peace of mind and a more reliable flow of orders. As a professional freelancer you are doubtlessly well aware of the many benefits of freelance work. Most of these will be associated with themes such as independence, freedom and - if you are lucky - considerable revenues. However, you may also have discovered a number of serious downsides to this kind of work. The one cited perhaps the most frequently is the ongoing pressure to attract clients. Although we know of no research to verify it, there is a law in the translation business which states that a freelance translator who has no work, is not a good translator. The opposite is also true: a good translator will never be at a loss for work. Even so, your order portfolio as a freelancer will also depend, at least in part, on your commercial skills in attracting clients, offering your services to potential clients, and building up networks. Once you have found enough clients for a sustainable business, moreover, you may find it difficult to balance your capacity with their needs. In view of these considerations, it might be a good idea to offer your services to translation agencies as well. The rates they offer may not be as high as those of private clients (understandably, as the agency will need to safeguard its own...

...Teaching Methods of Translation toward English Major Students Xiyue Bai 201020383 Foreign Language Department Northwest University Abstract Based on modern educational theories and the foundation of the combination of task-based teaching approach and cooperative learning, this paper focuses on converse thinking mode and open teaching method in teaching translation course. The reversed thinking mode would help to avoid the phenomenon of theory disengages practice and it stresses practicalness. The application of open teaching method will also be discussed in the case of teaching fundamental translation course. Open translation teaching method is student-centered, leading by teacher, which emphasizes that students find, search and solve issues by themselves and helps students with their translation skills and creativity. Key Words: Translation, Reversed thinking, Open mode, Teaching I. Current Chinese Translation Course Teaching Status As is well-known in China that there are no translation courses for lower grade English major students in Chinese colleges until they enter into junior year or senior year. For some colleges with only two credit hours in one week. It’s unlikely for the teachers to finish the course completely in such a short time if they need to introduce basic concepts of translation, home and abroad translation histories and theories, to make the students be familiar with...

...which all claim to represent the Churches. However, every Bible has its own unique qualities making careful inspection of these qualities essential in picking the right Bible. Aside from the different number of books that were included by certain Churches, these marginal attributes play the biggest role of how each Bible differentiates from each other. The way the text was translated in the matter of which the text is rendered, linguistic differences that separate literary tradition, and doctrinal issues. Once these differences are understood, picking the right Bible should turn into a walk in the park. As new versions of the New Testament were published, many began to see once familiar passages disappear from the text. An example that which demonstrates textual differences is the version of the Lord’s Prayer in the Authorized Version and the Revised Version of the New Testament. The Authorized Version begins as “Our father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth”, turns into “Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come” when translated into the Revised Version. Even though the descriptors were omitted, the strength of the passage does not necessarily decimate. In fact, without the blockade caused by the descriptors the message of the passage has the potential to been seen clearer than before. Another reason why translations are important is the placement of words. For example, Luke’s account of the last supper...

...Victoria Plata Spring 2012 Equivalence in Translation Formal correspondence, or dynamic equivalence, that is the question. Whenever translation is discussed, the concept of equivalence is most likely to come forth. However, more than one definition has been given for this central concept. Two of the most relevant theories about equivalence would be Eugene Nida’s and J. C. Catford’s. I will comment on those and on the possibility of finding a point of balance between the two seemingly antagonistic alternatives for translation. First of all, a rudimentary notion of translation begins with a text in a source language (SL) which aims to be transferred into a target language (TL). Such text might be seen as the carrier of a message conformed by two kinds of factors: linguistic factors, pertaining to the concrete form and the abstract meaning of a text; and cultural factors, which are not evident at the level of form or meaning, but pertain to the mental background of the speakers and writers of the SL. Both factors considered, different approaches are possible. One the one hand, the translating process could be either source oriented or target oriented. On the other hand, the focus might be either linguistic or functional. According to Nida (1964), translating consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly I terms of style. He proposed two different types of...

...Literature Translation Elena Xeni Teaching Staff – Language Pedagogy Department of Education, University of Cyprus Summary The present paper focuses on issues of concern in the study of Children‟s Literature Translation (ChLT). Attempting an overview from the years when ChLT was much ignored in the academic and non-academic world to the years that attention is paid to ChLT as a scientific field in its own right, the present paper illustrates issues that have generated intense and ongoing discussions. Issues such as the missionary role of ChLT, the theoretical framework of ChLT, the translator‟s invisibility, low status, profile and royalties, translatability vs. untranslatability, ideology, censorship, manipulation, and ambivalence are visited in this paper. These issues have had a deep impact on key ChLT actors, processes, and products: the child-reader, the translator, the translated text, the translation process, the author, the publisher, etc. The present text is a modest attempt to join efforts with the international community of scholars, translators, authors, children readers, publishers and other parties with an interest in ChLT, so as for the field to be given its merit in Translation, Comparative, Literary and Interdisciplinary Studies and for the translator –who had for long been much invisible and undervalued –to gain the place s/he deserves in history and society. 1. Introductory note It is widely accepted that Children‟s Literature Translation (ChLT) is an...
