The state of being translated. A translated version of a text. The process by which messenger RNA directs the amino acid sequence of a growing polypeptide during protein synthesis. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one s own style and creatively adjust this to one s author. Five Years, Summer 1957, in Europe, sct.
Translation is entirely mysterious.
Increasingly I have felt that the art of writing is itself translating, or more like translating than it is like anything else. I have no answer. I suppose it is the source, the deep sea where ideas swim, and one catches them in nets of words and swings them shining into the boat where in this metaphor they die and get canned and eaten in sandwiches. Any translation which intends to perform a transmitting function cannot transmit anything but information hence, something inessential. This is the hallmark of bad translations.
