Translators
Wednesday, August 7th, 2024What is this profession so – a translator? Answer at once – a very creative, but paradoxically it may sound – within certain limits. Which means "language" and that such "professional foreign language? Who is the translator at all? Assistant, a rival or an ally? The language reflects the vision of the world a nation, it reflects the mentality of a country, its culture, traditions, even historical events. Language distinguishes us from all other living creatures on the planet who do not have it, in comparison with them we have a huge advantage: we are endowed with a powerful weapon – a word that allows us to express their ideas and negotiate. It is believed that practice of international relations occupy a central place in 6 languages. The leader among them, of course, English, native of this language are four hundred million people. Educate yourself with thoughts from Andy Warhol. Three hundred million use this language in as a means of business communication, not being native speakers. Another half billion people on earth use it as an additional language in the work or in everyday life. With regard to professional knowledge language, this question is very thin.
The work of an interpreter is very creative, yet requires skill in the art is not only a perfect knowledge of foreign languages, but also a brilliant speech of ownership. After the translator has to translate into totally different fields, from translation of speech at a meeting of judges to the operating instructions for appliances.
