PART 1: Answering the questions on theories

Question 1: What is the theory of translation? generally and specifically?

What is generally understood as translation involves the rendering of a source language text into the target text, ensuring that (1) the surface meaning of the two will be approximately similar and (2) 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 The instructor can then hope to measure the students’ linguistic competence by means of the target language products But there the matter stops (Susan Bassnett, 2002) In the light of this direction, the theory of translation involves normative approaches, putting a strong emphasis on prescribing

to translators how to and how not to translate

Together with the term ‘translation theory’ or ‘theory of translation’, 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 with many far-reaching fields: stylistics, literary history, linguistics, semiotics, aesthetics, and practical applications in translation 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, and during the actual translation process the problems encountered by those working in the field will enrich their practical experience for theoretical discussions and then increased theoretical perceptiveness will be put to use in the translation of texts

Basically there are two competing theories of translation In one, the predominant purpose

is to express as exactly as possible the full force and meaning of every word and phrase in the original, and in the other 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

In the hands of a good translator neither of these two approaches can ever be entirely ignored

Question 2: How do translators reproduce the message?

People repeat either the wording or the meaning of what they themselves or others have said because they think receivers may not have heard the first time, or because they want to emphasize a point Thus repeating differs functionally from quoting even if there is no formal difference (a repetition of what someone said and a quotation of what that person said may contain exactly the same words) Repetitions are non-quotational in that they do not aim to demonstrate features of the wording of the source text

Copying

This is the act of creating an extra physical token of the forms that constitute an existing text This can be done on a photocopying machine, but more interesting for our purposes is the use of a computer word processor’s Copy function Translators often Paste into their translations copies of wordings taken from TL document banks (including banks of previous

translations into TL) The Pasting may result in a translation (i.e the same output wording

could have obtained by SIQ), but the act of Pasting is of course not itself translational because

it is not quotational or imitative

Reciting

When a newsreader or actor speaks the words of a script, their performance - whether mechanical or creative - is not a demonstration to the audience of any features of the script The written script functions rather as a prop for the performance, specifically a mnemonic device Much reciting involves a modal switch from writing to speech, though this is not a necessary feature: Speech-to-speech reciting occurs when someone administers an oath, saying “repeat after me”

Transcribing

The modal switch in the opposite direction, from speech to writing, occurs for example in the work of a court reporter, or when a student taking notes in a lecture writes down some or (through shorthand) all of the professor’s spoken words Transcribing differs functionally from exact-words quoting in that its sole aim is to record linguistic form; the student may not have understood the meaning at all In exact-words quoting, the preservation of the exact words is not an end in itself but rather a specialized way of demonstrating various aspects of meaning (in scholarly work for example) Note in passing that if our student does not record the professor’s words but rather paraphrases the professor’s meaning, then he is quoting the professor, demonstrating features of what the professor said either to his later self (when studying for an exam) or possibly to other students to whom he lends the notes

Transliterating

Trang 3

In this language production act, one form of graphic inscription is replaced by another, following some set of one-to-one rules Examples would be putting into the Latin alphabet a text written in the Cyrillic alphabet, turning a written Chinese text into the International Phonetic Alphabet, putting a text into Braille, or encrypting a text There may be several systems available (for Romanizing Cyrillic say) but once you have selected a system, there is only one possible transliteration of the text A quoter might draw on transliteration (e.g use a phonetic spelling to convey the sound of a character’s speech in a novel), but such a demonstrative purpose is not inherent in transliterating

PART 2: Translating the chosen texts into English or Vietnamese

1 Choose 01 (or 02) English text(s) of about 700 words from the topic: Sports.

According to coach Toni Nadal, Rafael Nadal cannot compare with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in terms of statistics “If you look at the numbers, the best in history is Federer or Djokovic” coach Toni Nadal told the Tres Iguales podcast recently “I think Rafa has missed a lot of Grand Slams because of injury We'll wait until they finish their careers to see who's the best But right now, Rafa has less impressive stats than the other two”

Nadal currently co-owns a record 20 Grand Slams with Djokovic and Federer The Spaniard also holds the record of 36 Masters 1000 with Djokovic However, in other important statistics, Nadal is lined with the license

Nadal is hundreds of weeks behind Djokovic and Federer to hold the world number one position He also has not won the ATP Finals, a prestigious event only inferior to the Grand Slam Nadal has only won three Grand Slam tournaments once in the same year, in 2010 While Federer and Djokovic have each done the same three times

Translate it into Vietnamese:

Theo chia sẻ của HLV Toni Nadal, Rafael Nadal không thể sánh với Roger Federer và Novak Djokovic về các số liệu thống kê “Nếu bạn nhìn vào các con số, người hay nhất lịch sử là Federer hoặc Djokovic”, HLV Toni Nadal chia sẻ trên podcast Tres Iguales gần đây “Tôi nghĩ Rafa đã bỏ lỡ nhiều Grand Slam vì chấn thương Chúng ta sẽ chờ tới khi họ kết thúc sự nghiệp để xem ai hay nhất Nhưng ngay lúc này, Rafa có ít thống kê ấn tượng hơn hai người còn lại”

Nadal hiện đang đồng sở hữu kỷ lục 20 Grand Slam với Djokovic và Federer Tay vợt Tây Ban Nha cũng giữ kỷ lục 36 Masters 1000 cùng Djokovic Tuy nhiên, ở các thống kê quan trọng khác, cháu của HLV Toni Nadal lại bị lép vế

Trang 4

Nadal kém Djokovic và Federer hàng trăm tuần giữ vị trí số một thế giới Anh cũng chưa vô địch ATP Finals, sự kiện danh giá chỉ kém Grand Slam Nadal mới có duy nhất một lần vô địch ba giải Grand Slam cùng năm, vào 2010 Trong khi Federer và Djokovic từng có

ba lần làm được điều tương tự

2 Choose 01 (or 02) Vietnamese text(s) of about 700 words from the topic : Sports.

Tất cả đều phụ thuộc vào các con số Và không chỉ là những con số thông thường, mà

Slam chiến thắng Mỗi chiến thắng có nghĩa là một vị trí trong lịch sử, mỗi danh hiệu là một thành tựu cả đời Để giành được một giải Grand Slam có nghĩa là có thể cạnh tranh với những người giỏi nhất ở đường dưới tốt nhất của bạn trong suốt hai tuần, bảy trận đấu được chơi ở hạng tốt nhất trong 5 Bộ

Để giành được một Grand Slam trong quần vợt là sự chứng minh tài năng, thành tích cuối cùng Chiến thắng nhiều hơn nghĩa là trở thành nhà vô địch, đạt hai con số nghĩa là trở thành huyền thoại Và hiện tại có hai huyền thoại vẫn đang thi đấu toàn thời gian ở ATP World Tour

Roger Federer với 17 danh hiệu Slam và Rafael Nadal với 14 danh hiệu Slam Theo một nhà vô địch Slam khác, nhà vô địch US Open 2003 Andy Roddick, sự cạnh tranh trực tiếp không thể đủ khả năng để so sánh với những người tiên phong đó

Translate into English:

It goes all down on numbers And not just regular numbers, but Slam wins Each win means a place in history, each title it's a lifetime achievement To win a Grand Slam tournament means being able to compete against the very best at your best bot two entire weeks, seven matches played at the best of Five Sets

To win a Grand Slam in tennis is the ultimate prove of talent, the ultimate achievement

To win more means being a champion, to reach double digits means being a legend And there are currently two legends still competing full time on the ATP World Tour

Roger Federer with his 17 Slam titles and Rafael Nadal, with his 14 Slam titles According to another Slam champion, the 2003 US Open winner Andy Roddick, the direct competition can't afford to be compared to those pioneers
