Translation Cues

Famous quotes containing the words translation and/or cues:

“To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one’s own style and creatively adjust this to one’s author.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

“The cues that arouse desire are changed by Fashion, but feel like the proddings of Nature.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
