Dream Job ( FIRST DRAFT )

          Translation is a linguistic method by which it is possible  to transmit thoughts and ideas from one language to another . Translation is ,to a great extent, a subjective art since it is extremely hard to find two translators producing the same output .It depends on the qualifications of a translator in terms of his sense of language , depth of vision and cultural background .

       My dream is to be a successful translator as i adore translation very much .There are criteria for a good translation . A good translation is easily understood , fluent ,smooth and idiomatic. A good translation distinguishes between the metaphorical and the literal . It conveys ,as much as possible, the meaning of the original text.

        Translator is always considered to be inferior to the author of the original text . He is "a writer who formulates ideas in words addressed to readers. The only difference between him and the original writer is that these ideas are the latter's ". While the author just creates ideas in his language, the translator has the responsibility of assimilating and reproducing the experiences of a different person .


         There are some tips of translation. First read the text you want to translate more than once untill you get the overall meaning . Second start translating your text getting as close as possible to the meaning of the source language . Third make sure you are getting the appropriate vocabulary .Fourth go over the translation ,having the original text and the translation side by side ,making sure nothing is missed .Finally read the translation without looking at the original text making any necessary changes .


          A successful translator should have some skills like : reading comprehension , researching skills , analytical skills and composing skills .


         To sum up , translation is not an easy job . It demands hard work and wide culture . a translator is a talented person like an artist with a very good mentality .
