Proverbs

“It is impossible not to lose something when you translate an extended text from one language to another” (Carson, ILD, 58).




    “Every reading of a text by a finite being is an interpretation of it…. translation is never a mechanical task…. Translators must understand the donor text, or think they do, before rendering it into the receptor text” (Carson, ILD, 72).
