Last song: "The Nearness of You" by Bill Charlap

Favourite colour/s: Dark green, dark blue, the white of snow.

Last film/ TV series: I started showing my partner Devs (2020), a short series by Alex Garland, because we were discussing AI models at a high level and the possibility of creating simulations of life (for different purposes, finding cures etc). The show touches on some of that, only with quantum computing. Anyways I often enjoy material on the application of tech for these kind of theories.

For Karolina, I also watched Phantom Thread very recently, and it's a favorite of mine as well. One to revisit a few times and sit with my thoughts on the complexity of relationships.

Sweet/spicy/savoury: All have their place, I love sweets that aren't too sweet. A nutty black sesame dessert.

Last thing/s I googled: Stays in Yosemite. February is a busy month for Firefall, but maybe we could stay a weekend.

Current obsession/s: The cold, sunny Northern California winter. Taking it in on my bike rides to my office building, a small comfort before a work day. Weekend drives south to Monterey, or north to Point Reyes. Danish design and maybe the general Nordic way of life; I loved talking with my "mother-in-law" about the Icelandic tradition of letting babies sleep outside in the clean air, thoroughly adorable. Cleaning a little each day, keeping a neat wardrobe (depiling, steaming, cleaning and conditioning leather). Mascarpone.

I would tag @kxowledge, @petrichorals, @detachedperfectionist, @un-peu-de-vin, @semperfeminae and anyone else. Wishing you all a warm January!

Last song: Lacreme Napulitane (live) by Mina

Favorite colors: Laurel, olive and pine green, heather grey, charcoal, burgundy

Last film/tv show: Film: Close to Vermeer / Show: The English

Sweet/spicy/savoury: Ah never choose! Each has its place, each is necessary.

Last thing(s) I googled: The painting Woman holding a Balance. The career of Peter Greenaway. Precise distances from Milan to Turin, Turin to Venice, Venice to Florence. Making Medieval Manuscripts by Christopher de Hamel. The holistic usages of clove & roman chamomile oil.

Current obsession(s): Researching through film; anything from a carefully crafted documentary to a deeply moving story (even films in an in-between state are wonderful, there's always something to be learned from the mind of another). Seeing beauty not just in broad scenery, but in elemental breaths of life. The spirit of winter; focusing on what it means, how it affects us all, what it brings forth. Finishing some volumes on the shelf. Brushing up on some ballet techniques. Preparing for the novel's various submissions. My merino wool cocoa colored sweater.

Today we also celebrate our Venerable Father Symeon the Metaphrastes. About Symeon's life few details are known. He lived in the second half of the 10th century. Ephrem Mtsire puts him at the peak of his career in the sixth year of Basil II (982). Yahya of Antioch also makes him a contemporary of Basil II and Patriarch Nicholas II of Constantinople (984–991). In the 15th century, Mark Eugenikos wrongly called Symeon a megas logothetes. The hagiographer actually lived a generation later than the historian Symeon Logothete. Symeon wrote mainly hymnody and hagiography. He composed kanones, stichera and a hymn to the Trinity. He also compiled excerpts of the church fathers, particularly Basil the Great. His most important work by far, however, is the menologion, which Albert Ehrhard labelled "a revolution in the field of hagiography".[1] According to tradition, it was commissioned by Basil II. Symeon's menologion is a product of the encyclopedism characteristic of the Macedonian Renaissance. He did not merely collect and arrange pre-existing saint's lives, but also reworked them, standardizing their language and embellishing their rhetorical style to bring them in line with the Atticism of the day. His nickname comes from this act of metaphrasis. The content of the lives was not altered, however, and historical errors were left intact. Symeon arranged them according to their feast days in the Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar. There are about 150 distinct lives. For his menologion, Symeon received praise from Nikephoros Ouranos and Michael Psellos addressed to him an encomium. It was widely read in monasteries. The standard edition came in ten volumes. Numerous illuminated copies were produced in the 11th century. Some orthodox prayers of preparation before Holy Communion and prayers of thanksgiving after Holy Communion were composed by him. May he intercede for us always + Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symeon_the_Metaphrast (at Constantinople - Κωνσταντινούπολη) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkvA3P-LbBF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Translate

-Meaning-

1. express the sense of (words or text) in another language.

"several of his books were translated into English"

2. move from one place or condition to another.

"she had been translated from familiar surroundings to a foreign court"

Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source–language text by means of an equivalent target-language text. Translators, including early translators of sacred texts, have shaped the very languages into which they have translated. The English language drew a distinction between translating and interpreting; under this distinction, translation can begin only after the appearance of writing within a language community.

Translation comes from the Latin term meaning ‘to bring or carry across’, as well as coming from the Ancient Greek word of ‘metaphrasis’ which means ‘to speak across’ and from this, the term ‘metaphrase’ was born, which means a word-for-word translation’. These terms have been at the heart of theories relating to translation throughout history and have given insight into when and where translation have been used throughout the ages.

It is thought that the knowledge and findings of Greek academics was developed and understood due to the translation work of Arabic scholars. When the Greeks were conquered their works were taken in by Arabic scholars who translated them and created their own versions of the scientific, entertainment and philosophical understandings. The Arabic versions were later translated into Latin, during the Middle Ages, mostly throughout Spain and the resulting works provided the foundations of Renaissance academics.

Translation was needed more and more and became greater with the development of religious texts and spiritual theories. As religion developed, the desire to spread the word and encourage faith means that religious texts needed to be available in multiple languages. Religion played a critical role in translation development that the church even names Saint Jerome as the patron saint of translation. Saint Jerome created a Latin bible and this bible became the predominant text used by the Roman Catholic Church.

Translation

Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text. The language     draws a terminological distinction (not all languages do) between translating (a written text) and  interpreting (oral or sign-language communication between users of different languages); under this      distinction, translation can begin only after the appearance of writing within a language community.

 A translator always risks   inadvertently introducing source-language words, grammar, or syntax into the target-language  rendering. On the other hand, such "spill-overs" have sometimes imported useful source-language     calques    and loanwords that        have enriched  target languages. Translators, including early translators     of sacred texts, have helped shape the very languages into which they have translated.

 Because of the laboriousness of the   translation process, since the 1940s efforts have been made, with varying degrees of success, to  automate   korean language interpreter mumbai     translation or to mechanically aid the human translator.More recently, the rise     of the Internet has fostered a world-wide market for translation services and has facilitated "language localization".

Etymology

The English word "translation" derives from the Latin word translatio,which comes from trans, "across" + ferre, "to carry" or "to bring" (-latio in turn coming from latus, the past participle of ferre). Thus translatio is "a carrying      across" or "a bringing across": in this case, of a text from one language to another.

Some Slavic languages and the Germanic   languages (other than Dutch and Afrikaans) have calqued their words for the concept of "translation" on translatio.

The Romance languages and the remaining    Slavic languages have derived their words for the concept of "translation" from an  alternative Latin word, traductio, itself derived from traducere ("to lead across" or "to bring across", from trans, "across" + ducere, "to lead" or "to bring")

The Ancient Greek term for "translation" (metaphrasis, "a speaking across"), has supplied English with "metaphrase" (a "literal", or "word-for-word", translation)—as contrasted with "paraphrase" ("a saying in other words", from  paraphrasis)."Metaphrase" corresponds, in one of the more recent terminologies, to "formal equivalence"; and "paraphrase", to "dynamic equivalence".

Strictly speaking, the concept of metaphrase—of "word-for-word translation"—is an imperfect concept, because a given word in a given    language often carries more than one meaning; and because a similar given meaning may often be represented in a given language by more than one word. Nevertheless, "metaphrase" and "paraphrase" may be useful as ideal concepts that mark the extremes in the spectrum of possible approaches to translation.

Back-translation

A "back-translation" is a translation of a translated text back into the language of the original text, made without reference to the original text. Comparison of a back-translation with the original text is sometimes used as a check on the accuracy  of the original translation, much as the accuracy of a mathematical operation is      sometimes     checked by reversing the operation. But the results of such reverse-translation operations, while useful  as approximate checks, are not always precisely reliable.Back-translation must in general       be less accurate   than back-calculation because linguistic symbols (words) are often ambiguous, whereas mathematical symbols are intentionally unequivocal. In the context of machine translation, a back-translation is also called a "round-trip translation." When translations are produced of material    used in medical clinical trials, such as informed-consent forms, a back-translation is often required by the ethics committee or institutional review board.

 It provided humorously telling evidence for the frequent unreliability of back-translation when he issued his own back-translation of a French translation of his short story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County". He published his back-translation in a 1903 volume together with his English-language original, the French    translation, and a "Private History of the 'Jumping Frog' Story". The latter included a synopsized adaptation    of his story that Twain stated had appeared, unattributed to Twain, in a Professor Sidgwick's Greek Prose Composition under the title, "The Athenian and the Frog"; the adaptation had for a time been taken for an independent ancient Greek precursor to Twain's "Jumping Frog" story.

When a document survives only in translation, the original having been lost, researchers sometimes undertake back-translation in an effort to   reconstruct the original text. An example involves the novel The Saragossa Manuscript by the Polish aristocrat Jan Potocki (1761–1815), who wrote the novel in French and anonymously    published     fragments in 1804 and 1813–14. Portions of the original French-language manuscript were  subsequently lost; however, the missing fragments survived in a Polish translation, made by Edmund Chojecki in 1847 from a complete French copy that has since been lost. French-language versions of the complete   Saragossa Manuscript have since been produced, based on extant French-language fragments and on French-language versions that have been back-translated from Chojecki's Polish version.

Many works by the influential Classical physician Galen survive only in medieval Arabic translation. Some survive only in Renaissance Latin translations from the Arabic, thus at a second remove from the original. To better understand Galen, scholars have attempted back-translation of such works in order to reconstruct the original Greek.

 When historians suspect that a document is actually a translation from another language, back-translation into that hypothetical original  language can provide supporting evidence by showing that such characteristics as idioms, puns, peculiar grammatical structures, etc., are in fact derived from the original language. For example, the known text of the Till Eulenspiegel folk tales is in High German but contains puns that work only when back-translated to Low German. This seems clear evidence that these tales (or at least large portions of them) were originally written in Low German and translated into High German by an over-metaphrastic translator.

 Supporters of Aramaic primacy—the view that the Christian New Testament or its sources were originally written in the Aramaic language—seek to prove their case by showing that difficult passages in the existing Greek text of the New  Testament make much more sense when back-translated to Aramaic: that, for example, some incomprehensible  references are in fact Aramaic puns that do not work in Greek. Due to similar indications, it is believed that the 2nd century Gnostic Gospel of Judas, which survives only in Coptic, was originally written in Greek.

 The dominant English-language literary figure of his age, illustrates, in his use of back-translation, translators' influence on the evolution of languages and literary styles. Dryden is believed to be the first person to posit that English sentences should not end in prepositions because Latin sentences cannot end in prepositions. Dryden created  the proscription against "preposition stranding" in 1672 when he objected to Ben Jonson's 1611 phrase, "the bodies that those souls were frighted from", though he did not provide the rationale for his preference. Dryden often translated his writing into Latin, to check whether his writing was concise and elegant, Latin being considered an elegant and long-lived language with which to compare; then he  back-translated    his writing back to English according to Latin-grammar usage. As Latin does   korean language interpreter mumbai   not have   sentences ending in prepositions, Dryden may have applied Latin grammar to English, thus forming the controversial rule of no sentence-ending prepositions, subsequently adopted by other writers.

Translators

A competent translator is not only bilingual but bicultural. A language is not merely a collection of words and of rules of grammar and syntax for generating sentences, but also a vast interconnecting system of connotations and cultural references whose mastery, writes linguist Mario Pei, "comes close to being a lifetime job."The complexity of the translator's task cannot be overstated; one author suggests that becoming an accomplished translator—after having already acquired a good basic knowledge of both languages and cultures—may require a minimum of ten years' experience. Viewed in this light, it is a serious misconception to assume that a person who has fair fluency in two languages will, by virtue of that fact alone, be consistently competent to translate between them.

 The translator's role in relation to a text has been compared to that of an artist, e.g., a musician or actor, who interprets a work of art. Translation, like other human activities, entails making choices, and choice implies Korean interpretation gurgaon. Mark Polizzotti writes: "A good translation offers not a reproduction of the work but an interpretation, a re-representation, just as the performance of a play or a sonata is a representation of the script or the score, one among many possible representations."

 The English-language novelist Joseph Conrad, whose writings Zdzisław Najder has described as verging on "auto-translation" from Conrad's Polish and French linguistic personae, advised his niece and Polish translator Aniela Zagórska: "on't trouble to be too scrupulous ... I may tell you (in French) that in my opinion il vaut mieux interpréter que traduire  [it is better to interpret than to translate] ...Il s'agit donc de trouver les équivalents. Et là, ma chère, je vous prie laissez vous guider plutôt par votre tempérament que par une conscience sévère ... [It is, then, a question of finding the equivalent expressions. And there, my dear, I beg you to let yourself be guided more by your temperament than by a strict conscience....]"Conrad advised     another translator that the prime requisite for a good translation is that it be "idiomatic". "For in the idiom is the       clearness of a language and the language's force and its picturesqueness—by which last I mean the picture-producing power of arranged words."Conrad thought C.K. Scott Moncrieff's English translation of Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time—or, in Scott Moncrieff's rendering, Remembrance of Things Past) to be preferable to the French original.

 The necessity of making choices, and therefore of interpretation, in translating(and in other fields of human endeavor) stems from the      ambiguity    that subjectively pervades the universe. Part of the ambiguity, for a translator, involves the structure       of human language. Psychologist and neural scientist Gary Marcus notes that "virtually every sentence [that people generate] is ambiguous, often in multiple ways. Our brain is so     good at comprehending     language that we do not usually notice." An example of linguistic ambiguity is the "pronoun disambiguation problem" ("PDP"): a machine has no way of determining to whom or what a pronoun in a sentence—such as "he", "she" or "it"—refers. Such disambiguation is not infallible by a human, either.

Ambiguity is a concern to both translators and, as the writings of poet and literary critic William Empson have demonstrated, to literary critics. Ambiguity may be desirable, indeed essential, in poetry and diplomacy; it can be more problematic in ordinary prose.

A translator is faced with two contradictory tasks: when translating, strive for omniscience; when reviewing the resulting translation, assume (the naive reader's) ignorance.

Translators may render only parts     of the original text, provided that they inform readers of that action. But a translator should not     assume the role of censor and surreptitiously delete or bowdlerize passages merely to please a political or moral interest.

Translating has served as a school of writing for many an author, much as the copying of masterworks of painting has schooled many a novice painter.A translator who can competently render an author's thoughts into the translator's own language, should certainly be able to adequately render, in his own language, any   thoughts of his own. Translating (like analytic philosophy) compels precise analysis of language elements and of their usage. In 1946 the poet Ezra Pound, then at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, in Washington, D.C., advised a visitor, the 18-year-old beginning poet W.S. Merwin: "The work of translation is the best teacher you'll ever have. Merwin, translator-poet who took Pound's advice to heart, writes of translation as an "impossible, unfinishable" art.

 Translators, including monks who spread Buddhist texts in East Asia, and the early modern European translators of the Bible, in the course of their work have shaped the very languages into which they have translated. They have acted as bridges for     conveying knowledge between cultures; and along with ideas, they have imported from the source languages, into their own languages, loanwords and calques of grammatical structures, idioms, and vocabulary.
