» Translating Culture - Specific Metaphoric expressions
By Camelia Frunză | Published 07/11/2005 | Language Specific | Recommendation:
Methaphor is usually culture-specific due to the fact that differrent cultures conceptualize experience in varying ways. Due to the fact that they reflect the attitude towards the world in general, and the life of the community in particular, metaphors have a wide circulation in the active language and they may have an explicit Romanian or English character. The Romanian people, for example, with their old customs and traditions originated in the countryside and agriculture, created countless expressions with an undeniable stylistic value. We need to point out the fact that what determines the translatability of a SL metaphor is not its boldness or originality, but rather the extend to which the cultural experience and semantic associations on which it draws are shared by speakers of the particular TL.

» 30 September Hari Penerjemah Internasional - Sejarah Singkat
By Hipyan Nopri | Published 05/13/2008 | Miscellaneous | Not yet recommended
Mungkin tidak hanya orang awam, para penerjemah pun mungkin banyak yang belum tahu adanya hari penerjemah internasional. Ketidaktahuan ini mungkin cukup wajar mengingat kenyataan bahwa profesi penerjemah masih tergolong langka di Indonesia, dan dengan demikian jumlah penerjemah pun belum begitu banyak. Penerjemah umumnya tinggal di kota-kota besar di pulau Jawa. Di luar pulau Jawa, penerjemah cukup sulit ditemukan. Karena itulah, sebagai salah satu sumbangan pribadi saya dalam usaha mempublikasikan dan mempromosikan profesi penerjemah kepada masyarakat, saya menyajikan tulisan berikut mengenai sejarah singkat profesi penerjemah. Selamat membaca.
