It's surprising what you can do if you put your mind to it. It's more important to get across what it means. When uncertain, Prentis doesn't guess. So I fax Frank and ask him, and he's been sending back these little definitions and explanations. Sometimes literal translation is impossible.
Footnotes explain that such alterations have been made.
Just having to work on the translation means that you've got to fine-tune. There's an image that Frank uses about the 'project object'- any particular work. It's those little details about his work that I like that maybe nobody's ever going to find out, but that are there. The way the intonation is, probably no Japanese would recognize it, but it's in there. This is the kind of thing I like about his work.
