1 …Gist translation is characterized by keeping the main idea/gist of a text, omitting all of
its supporting details and subsidiary arguments
2 …Idiomatic translation is based on the meaning of the text which aims to produce the
message of the original but tends to distort nuances of meaning by using idioms and colloquialism where there do n ot exist in the original
3 …in mind matters involving text adjustments in terms of additions, omissions and
adaptations
4 …Literal translation is featured by the fact that grammatical structures and the meaning
of words are translated almost as closely as those in the target language without paying attention to the situation or context
5 …meaning is also referred to as conceptual, cognitive or propositional meaning, but the
sense is the same Denotative
6 …The interpreter sits next to or behind his “client” doing a great variety of activities
under different names: “community interpreting”, “public service interpreting”, “hospital interpreting”, “mental health interpreting” and “social service interpreting”
7 …The readers to whom the translated text is addressed are native or non-native users of
the target language
8 …The source language is the language to which the text to be translated belongs In
other words, the source language is prior to translation
9 …The subject in the English sentence is usually a noun phrase, pronouns, proper names,
to-infinitives, gerunds, or clauses
10 …The translator is the interpreter of the source text, and the producer of the final
interpretation which determines the meaning(s) which readers of the translation will read
11 …Translators should be aware of the concepts muli-words convey and the rules how to
make and write compound words in English
12 …Word for word translation (or sometimes direct/interlinear translation) focuses on
translating words from the source text into the target language while the word order of the original is preserved
13 A consecutive interpreter is one whose job is to change what has been said in one
language into another language
14 A satisfactory translation is always possible, but a good translator is never satisfied With
it
15 A sentence is a group of words conveying a complete idea which normally contain a
subject and a verb predicate in “finite” forms
16 A simultaneous translator changes what is being said in one language into another
language as someone is speaking
17 A text could be translated into anything, ranging from one sentence to usually one third
of the original length, depending on specific situations.
18 A text could be translated into anything, ranging from one sentence to usually one third
of the original length, depending on specific situations.
19 A Vietnamese-English translated text should follow the language rules and
social-cultural features of the English - not Vietnamese - language and vice versa
20 Adaptation can also be considered a translation technique used when the context in the
original text does not exist in the Target Text culture
21 Adaptation is a highly free type of translation Here the focus is on socio-cultural
phenomena or practices that are absent in the target culture
Trang 222 Adaptation translation aims to create an equivalence of the same value applicable to a
different situation than that of the source language
23 As can be seen from above, the English sentence is mechanically indicated by means of a
period/stop (.), a question mark (?) or an exclamation mark (!) - never by a comma (,) - at the end in writing
24 As for noun phrases (NP), the noun (common noun: love, proper noun: Mai, and
pronoun: you) is Head of the phrase
25 As indicated by the word “free”, free translation (sometimes dynamic translation) focuses
more on content than form in the target language
26 At the beginning of the 1970s, the focus shifted from the word or phrase To the text as a
unit of translation
27 business is business” could be translated Freely as Công việc là công việc, không chen
tình cảm vào đây được
28 Certain strategies to deal with those differences; for example, certain expressions or key
terms in their text-to-be need to be selected
29 Communicative translation gives high priority to the message communicated in the text where the actual form of the original is not closely bound to its intended meaning
30 Compared with the source language text, the target language translated text may be so
long, longer, or even shorter and may have new features which may not be found in the source language
31 Concept is used in this section to refer not to the form (word) but only To the meaning in
any given language
32 Connotation is subjective by the language users, and can be influenced by many factors
33 Coordinating conjunctions are only in mid-position whereas Subordinating conjunctions
can be in initial or mid-position in the sentence
34 Different strategies or different methods of translation produce Different kinds of
translation
35 During preparations for simultaneous Interpretation, the interpreters’ booth, if not fixed,
should be positioned so that the interpreters can see the speakers
36 English prepositions are usually single words in, at, on ; However, there are some
prepositions that look like a phrase, phrasal prepositions: because of, in spite of
37 English vocabulary mostly consists in single words, but the amount of multiword
vocabulary is not small
38 Faced by a text in a language, as student translators, you should analyze the text by
asking and Answering several questions.
39 Faithful translation can be described as one kind of translation which tries to convey the meanings of words and context situation according to the grammar rules of the target
language
40 Figurative meaning is based on or makes use of figures of Speech such as metaphor (an
implied comparison between two things with the same characteristic
41 For simultaneous interpretation, microphones, earphones and a booth are necessary
technical equipment
42 Gist translation can be used in language learning situations (using the same language) to summarize a written text at a written test
43 Gist translation canbe used in language learning situations (using the same language) to summarize a written text at a written test
44 He or she reformulates the translation according to the grammar rules word usage
cultural norms in the target language
Trang 345 However, grammatical words in general and articles and prepositions in particular might
cause headache to translators
46 Idiomatic translation can be applied to the English sentence that describes the degree of
the sameness of the two girls’ appearance “ They look Exactly the same” (Chúng giống
nhau như hai giọt nước)
47 If any key words are Changed, the text will need to be checked carefully for consistency
in the change made
48 If any key words are changed, the text will need to be checked carefully for consistency
in the change made.
49 If the source text is taken to be the starting point of the translation process, then the
translated text is the text which results from the translation process.
50 In addition to the changes resulting from the movement from one language to another,
translation necessarily changes the receiver or addressee of the text
51 In English, the negation of the verb in the first clause stands for the negation of the verb
in the following clause
52 In English, the Prepositional phrase can be used after a verb, an adjective, or a noun and
depend on them
53 In English-Vietnamese translation of the predicate verb, the meanings of time and aspect
can Correspond to such words as đã, sẽ, sắp, đang
54 In other words, adaptation translation aims to create an equivalence of the same value
Applicable to a different situation.
55 In some cases a prepositional phrase at the beginning of the English sentence may make the translator misunderstand that it is the subject of the sentence:
56 In the history of translation development there have been a great number of terms: literal,
free, literary, non-literary, borrowing, equivalence, figurative, so on and so forth.
57 In the other theory of translation, the predominant purpose is to produce a result that does not read like a translation at all, but rather moves in its new dress with the same
ease as in its native rendering
58 In this situation the translator’s task is recreate some form of language to convey the
same meaning
59 In Translation the form of the source language is replaced by the form of the
receptor/target language
60 In Vietnamese, words that correspond to both lexical And grammatical words in English
are numerous
61 In word formation, morphemes which occur at the end of a word are called Suffixes !!
62 In word formation, morphemes which occur at the front of a word are called prefixes
63 It can be said that language cannot exist without words Word ………is the reflection of
human perception of the world Categorization
64 It goes without saying that all the types of translation mentioned above may be justified
in particular circumstances
65 It is also very useful for the translator to understand and analyze the original text before
translating it into the target language
66 It is also very useful for the translator to understand and analyze the original text before
translating it into the target language
67 It is clear that words are made up of by morphemes For example, the word “book” has
one morpheme and “book-s” two morphemes
68 It is Obligatory that in an English sentence the predicate verb (V) be in finite forms, the
predicate agreeing with the subject in person and number
Trang 469 It is the structural part of language which is actually seen in print or heard in Speech
70 It may then be possible to translate with a word in the receptor language which is
equivalent to the central concept and use a phrase to add a further definition.
71 Literal force is of course inevitably lost in these cases and the best that can be achieved is
by means of faithfulness to the pragmatic function of the TL cultural reference or
practice
72 Literal meaning is direct, denoting what words mean according to dictionary usage,
figurative meaning is indirect, connoting/implying some information
73 Mastery of the source language is a Must for the translator, since this mastery is the key
to his/her readings and interpretations of the text to be translated
74 Meaning components are ‘packaged’ differently in one language from another That is
why the translator needs to be able to analyze the lexical items (words) of the source text
in order to translate them
75 Once the translation is completed, the translator should revise it, rarely fewer than three
times and, when possible, with a time lapse (after hours or even days) between revisions.
76 Polysemes can be compared with homonyms, which are words with several Unrelated
meanings
77 Practically, whether the study of translation is termed as ‘Translation Theory’ or
‘Translation Studies’ it culminates with the theory on proper principles of translation
78 Remember that all of our verbalizing must be done in the target language now We must
Choose between alternatives and produce a text that is sequentially complete.
79 Semantic translation focuses to a great degree on meaning (semantic content) and form
(syntax) of the original texts of high status
80 Semantically, the meaning of a word includes a number of meaning components
classified as things, events, attributes or relations which are combined into lexical items
81 Since figurative language is not intended to be interpreted in a literal sense, in
Translating figurative language, translators should make use of comparison between
different things
82 Since the mid-1970s the name ‘Translation Studies’ has been adopted to indicate that the study of translation is not just a minor branch of comparative literary study, nor yet a
specific area of linguistics, but a vastly complex field
83 Sometimes the grammar structure or the form of the words in the target language may
change
84 Syntactical forms which are used to express grammatical meanings of the verb in English
sentences are obligatory,
85 The choice of the right word in the receptor language to translate a word in the
source-language text depends more on the context than upon a fixed system of verbal
consistency
86 The classification of words in Vietnamese does not seem to be so distinctive: word classes do not have their typical forms, their forms never change in the sentence
Classification
87 The classifications of translation types are many according to different points of view,
based on either structure, function, or semantics of language.
88 The elements of translation interact as elements achieving one function, in Which each
element relates to one or more of the rest
89 The forms are Referred to as the surface structure of a language
90 The instructor can then hope to measure the students’ linguistic competence by means of the target language products
Trang 591 The language of translation is perceived from the translated text, reflecting the
translator's interpretations, the translator's strategies and the translator's abilities
92 The language of translation is Perceived from the translated text, reflecting the
translator’s interpretations, the translator’s strategies and the translator’s abilities
93 The linguistic approaches basically saw translating as a code-switching operation.
94 The linguistic approaches basically Saw translating as a code-switching operation.
95 The manner in which the target reader responds to the target text must be the same as that
in which the source reader responded to the source text.
96 The meaning of words are translated almost as closely as those in the target language
without paying attention to the situation or context
97 The number of words and the sentence length may vary, depending on the Subjectivity
of the translator when he/she adds explanations or comments to make clear the meaning
of the original
98 The predominant purpose of theories of translation is to express as exactly as possible the full force and meaning of every word and phrase in the original
99 The presentation here is conducted in a systematic manner with Somewhat restricted
interactivity and closeness and much faster than consecutive interpretation
100 The producer of the final interpretation Which determines the meaning(s) which
readers of the translation will read
101 The readers to whom the Translated text is addressed are native or non-native
users of the target language
102 The sentence is structurally made up of a group of words which has subject and
verb predicate as indispensible elements; the complement, object and adverbial are
optional:
103 The source language, as has been seen earlier, is not only the very central and
initial point for the Start of the translation process but also is the background for all
translation processes
104 The source text is the text which has been chosen for translation The translator
cannot, without a good reason, change any part of the source text.
105 The source-language content, form, style, function, etc must be preserved, or at
least that the translation must seek to preserve them as far as possible.
106 The stage of editing the translated text which takes the form of a careful
last-minute checking and correcting of possible mistakes or other inaccuracies is implemented
in most cases of translation
107 The structures of the source language will be preserved as closely as possible but
not so closely that the target language structure will be seriously distorted
108 The target language is the language into which a text from another language is
translated
109 The theory of translation involves normative approaches, putting a strong
emphasis on prescribing to translators how to and how not to translate.
110 The three elements of source language, source text, and translator, theoretically
and Practically precede the translated text
111 The translated text is the actual definite material, Which has been produced by
conveying the meaning of a source text in terms of another language and culture
112 The translated text is the actual definite material, which has been produced by
conveying the meaning of a source text in terms of another language and culture.
113 The translator begins drafting the translation piece by piece, section by section by
using the lexis and structures
Trang 6114 The translator discovers the meaning behind the forms in the source language and
does his best to produce the same meaning in the target language.
115 The translator has to think over his/her translation to suit a reader according to the
reader’s social norms in the target language, so the language of translation is social.
116 The translator is supposed to be beyond the influences of the social and Cultural
environment of any of the two languages
117 The translator is the initial knower of two languages, or more, who Has the
ability to move between two languages
118 The translator is the most important element in translation, since the study of
translation and the language of translation is no more than the study of the translator's linguistic ability
119. The translator is unable to change any aspect of the source language Rather,
many aspects of the translator’s work are conditioned and determined by… the source language.
120 The translator must guard against trying to match parts of speech from language
to language, since each language has its own system for arranging concepts into different parts of speech
121 The translator must strive for equivalence rather than identity In a sense this is
just another way of emphasizing the reproduction of the message rather than the
conservation of the form of the utterance
122 The translator should examine his reasons for choosing the text and the potential
for its use by the Receptor audience.
123 The translator should remember to use the zero article with plural count nouns in
English to mean generally
124 The translator should try to find in the text those differences (usually by
underlining) both in linguistic and cultural aspects between the source and target language
125 The translator tries to come as close as possible to the meaning conveyed by the words, by means of word order change or word choice so that the true meaning is
conveyed.
126 The translator, like the linguist who takes all human languages to be on an equal
footing, is among the first candidate to be liberated from the dominance of one language/ culture
127 The translator's judgments, strategies and manipulations Do all potentially exist in
the translator's interpretation of the source text and the formulation of the translated text which is governed by the target language
128 The translators should read the text several times, then if possible read other
materials that may help in understanding the culture or language of the source text
129 The verb predicate in the English sentence usually stands right after the subject,
giving information about the subject
130 There are a variety of cultural elements to take into consideration when starting a
translation
131 There are some word classes that are only typical in certain languages, so the
number of word classes in all languages is not similar and their Syntactic functions are
not the same
132 There is a skewing between the semantic classification And the grammatical
classification Some words are made up of more than one concept
Trang 7133 There is any place where information has been added, omitted, or subtracted
subtracted
134 There is no article in Vietnamese whereas the Use of article: indefinite articles a,
an, definite article the, or zero article is a must in English noun phrases
135 There is some unusuality or Unnaturalness in the target language
136 There will be words which have some of the meaning components combined in
them matching a word which has these components with some additional ones
137 Things are defined as all animate beings and all inanimate entities Events include
all actions, processes And experiences.
138 This means that the translator has, Despite the pressure of deadlines, more time
than the interpreter (especially the simultaneous interpreter) to process the source text thoroughly
139 To have interpretation as precise as possible, they should make regular shorter
breaks to enable the interpreters to relay the message in the same spirit
140 To translate means “to produce a text in a target setting for a target purpose and
target addresses in target circumstances”
141 Today, roughly speaking, three Forms of interpreting are practiced: liaison,
consecutive and simultaneous interpreting
142 Translating may be defined as the process of Transforming signs or
representations into other signs or representations
143 Translating must aim primarily at “reproducing the message” To do anything
else is essentially false to one’s task as a translator
144 Translation has become popular in language learning and daily life So far, there
have been many definitions of translation.
145 Translation has become popular in language learning and daily life So far, there
have been many definitions of translation,
146 Translation is rendering a written text into another language in a way that the
Author intended the text
147 Translation is the expression in another language (target language) of what has
been expressed in one language (source language), preserving semantic and stylistic
equivalencies
148. Translation is the expression in another language (target language) of what has
been expressed in one language (source language), preserving semantic and stylistic equivalencies.
149 Translation is the Replacement of a representation of a text in one language by a
representation of an equivalent text in a second language
150 Translation it must be conceived as an integral communicative Performance
151 Translation may be defined as follows: the replacement of textual material in one
language (Source Ianguage.) by equivalent material in another language (Target
Language)
152 Translation should ensure that the surface meaning of the two will be
approximately similar
153 Translation Studies, indeed a discipline in its own right, aims to produce a comprehensive theory which can be used as a guideline for the production of
translations
154 Translation theory includes Principles for translating figurative language, dealing
with lexical mismatches, rhetorical questions, inclusion of cohesion markers, and many other topics crucial to good translation
Trang 8155 Translation theory includes principles for translating figurative language, dealing
with lexical mismatches, rhetorical questions, inclusion of cohesion markers, and many other topics crucial to good translation
156 Translation, by dictionary definition, consists of changing from one state or form
to another, to turn into one’s own or another’s language
157 Translator need revise the draft on the basis of the feedback received from those
people who may have suggested many Rewordings, changes, additions or omissions
with the translator
158 Translators have to make sure that they understand a text well in the original
language
159 Translators should define both subject and verb predicate at the same time if they
want to translate a sentence
160 Translators should define proper verbs of English to go with the subject, either
linking/static verbs: be, get, become or action/dynamic verbs run, work to follow the
subject
161 Translators should rely on the context to select the right word; in case of doubt
about which word to be used, they could consult a dictionary of synonyms and antonyms
or any thesaurus for help
162 Translators should use procedures of transposition to render from the Source
Language texts in such ways as to suit the Target Language grammar rules.
163 Typically, two interpreters are placed together in a booth, and they follow an
audio-transmission of speeches and interpret them directly.
164 Vietnamese is a non-inflectional language Vietnamese words do not change
their forms
165 What is generally understood as translation involves the rendering of a source
language text into the target text
166 What the interpreter is unable to grasp in his first and only confrontation with the
text is Lost forever.
167 When a word has one morpheme, the morpheme belongs to the Free/root
category girl, house, do… which cannot be divided into smaller meaningful units
168 When analyzing the text for translation for the first time, the translator needs to
find answers to these questions:
169 when meeting for the first time, Especially when introduced to a guest, English
people often say: How do you do? as a greeting
170 whereas the interpreter is faced with a unique, orally delivered text, the translator
has the possibility of “flicking back” through the permanently available written text.
171. While the source text is addressed to a certain Readership, the translated text
changes this factor in the situation of the language event to new readers in a new language
