Report of Translation Practice
In this year the students in our group had the practice of translation. It consisted of two parts. The first part was the translation, and the second was interpreting. I used a variety of dictionaries and books for work. I also worked and sought help from the supervisor.
Firstly let me tell us about translation. I have translated two films, «Desperate housewives» and «A history of Britain». I have carefully looked over the films. I can say that these films are very different in the vocabulary. A “History of Britain” is a BBC documentary series. It is a scientific film which is full of historical terms, dates and facts. The author uses a lot of specific vocabulary. This series gives us information about some facts and events that are important for Britain of that time. Another film is a comedy. Here is used colloquial vocabulary. Also in «Desperate Housewives» are many phrasal verbs, colloquial and slang.
Two audio lectures «Hardy and The Natural World» and «The Adventures of Tom Sawyer: American Paradise Regained» is part of the oral practice of translation. While working on the interpretation the most difficult moment was to deal with the pronunciation. But in spite of this, these lectures is very informative and filled with a special vocabulary.
I also translated the text about «Charlotte and Emily Вronte» and some biographies of well-known Belarusian people. The texts contain information about this writer’s life and work. I used some dictionaries to work with. It was necessary to pay attention to complicated grammatical constructions, contents and vocabulary. At first the texts were read, and then some key words and difficult moments were singled out. After that it was made an interlinear translation and in the end I checked the text and made some correction work. In the glossary it is written out the words of general use and special terms.
In my conclusion, I want to say that efforts have been made in the translation, and it took a lot of time. But it has its advantages. I filled out my vocabulary. I learned a lot of new and interesting things about the Brontes and a piece of British history. I also learned a lot about the Belarusian people, who contributed to the history of Belarus. With the help of the films I better understand English colloquial speech. I got acquainted with some slang words and expressions. My pronunciation became better while working with audio lections.
