The interpreter necessarily starts to take notes as soon as the speaker starts to talk so that he / she can write down as many words as possible. The note of an interpreter usually consists of key points and links between ideas in order to aid his / her short-term memory. The interpreter should refrain himself / herself from using symbols or abbreviations to avoid the feeling of confusion when he / she looks at the notes to interpret. For a higher degree of efficiency, the interpreter should only use source language for his / her note-taking process because taking notes in target language is time- consuming and unnatural. oO 0 8 O The translation of “poliomyelitis” as “s6t bai liét” is an example of ... * 22 abstract -> concrete modulation concrete -> abstract modulation cause-> effect modulation effect > cause modulation O@®@O0O°0O The “untranslation’ error type occurs when a translator omits some elements *2/2 of the ST or does not translate them unintentionally or deliberately. © False @® Te tps sidocs. google. comformsicel FAlpQLSAXKROqna_TXNDRJOGzdKeDLQuabs6LBPr3TrsL3UXMDzy CO viewscore?viewscore=AEVZAgB.... 2/1918:30 24/05/2003, TITHEORY MIDTERM - AFTERNOON CLASS Which of the following statements is NOT true about “units of translation"? * = 2/2 The existing literature of translation reveals that the concept of unit of translation has been examined from different perspectives of different scholars.
