translation [Theme] Page 2

- Colonel J. T. Weber. We haven't met, but two years ago, you were translated from Farsi to foreign intelligence service.
- A.
- You quickly understand the content of the uprising.
- And you quickly dealt with the rebels.

Marshak once said so
How could you say one Marshak:
- I am a translator in Russia
And the word cherish.
But I, in contrast to the taxi,
Not all translate.

The barrier broke the sound,
How to overcome the language,
So, having a poetry service
Managed to rush in free flight
Foreign-language verse, natural hearing
Those for whom the transfer is made?
Other words, way different... in the crucible
All melted inspired you
And lo and behold, re-emerged
The original prophetic traits.

Remember, still a kid, in the sixties, I read an article in the magazine "Soviet Screen". It was written there about the experiment, translations of films into foreign languages. Took one phrase from Gogol seems to be: "In the morning she ate boiled beets and gossip". Consistently translated into ten languages, and then back to Russian, and turned out: "She was thrown out of the hut unnecessary things, and he happily gets in there".

Take for instance the verb to die. One case died, the other moved away to eternity, died and otherwise - rested or went to sleep forever, or went to sleep the deep sleep, or went to hell, died, and quite another thing - died, has died, has sapotilla, bent, croaked, kicked the bucket, keeled over, died, etc. Academician Shcherba divided the language into four stylistic layer: the Solemn - face, to taste. Neutral - a person is. Familiar face to eat. Vulgar - face, to eat.

Translate a work from one language to another is to skin him, to move across the border and there to dress up in national costume.

The President knew English more than double my Spanish; after we exchanged greetings and he motioned me to sit down, our vocabulary was exhausted.

- And what languages do you speak, Peter avdeevich?
- And I, in fact, Russian is spoken quickly and nervously he answered. And, I can assure you, this is enough to understand how translated the novel - good or bad.

- I have to ask you. - firmly replied the boy, looking at her with their unbearable calm hazel eyes.
"I have requirement" - put Aldara, razveselili.

In the translation literature there is one law: translated the book into Russian language should become a work of Russian literature. That is, when you read it, you must not stumble and must not be see through Russian language - English, which was in the beginning. The same should be in the movie. People should speak in normal Russian.

Dictators should fear his interpreter, and his dentist, as they are more powerful than themselves.

... At first I thought, isn't it easier just to send the aforesaid work directly to some publisher, German, French, American, - but it says something in Russian, and not all translatable, and I must admit I value my literary coloratura and sure damn different camber, different tone - all goes down the drain.

- I think the randomness worked in our favor.
- Translated from the Vulcan English - we were lucky.
