This article explores the theme of “translating poetically organized discourse to be sung.” The 2010 English translation of the Hebrew Psalms, entitled The Revised Grail Psalms: A Liturgical Psalter (RGP), is presented as a case study. The Hebrew Psalms, for the most part, were composed to be sung, yet more often than not, they are translated to be read. Such translations are primarily characterized by the absence of poetic rhythm, despite the plain evidence and significance of poetic rhythm in the Hebrew. The RGP, on the other hand, privileges the rhythmic dimension of the Psalms. As a result, the RGP is said to be remarkably “adaptable to the exigencies of different musical settings,” and more importantly, eminently singable. Nonetheless, the challenges of translating and formalizing a text according to a given rhythmic principle are in practice formidable, for when translators set out to feature a lyric’s rhythmic dimension, its semantic, rhetorical, and syntactic art is often found lacking. This article examines some of the principal reasons the translators of the RGP chose to re-emphasize the Hebrew Psalms’ rhythmic art and, more importantly, how those translators negotiated some of the more problematic translation challenges that ensued from that choice.

This study asks whether translation might be a valid mode of (literary) criticism. It approaches a hortatory biblical text (1 Timothy 2.8-14 [3.1a]), somewhat notoriously and rigidly applied in some quarters of the church as containing timeless ethical instruction concerning women in the church, from the standpoint of its intertextual network, listening for resonance and dissonance as the relevant intertexts and precursor texts are explored. It is ultimately diagnosed as a text that is eschatologically obsolescent, and translated/rewritten, on the basis of its intertextual composition, to reflect the openness inscribed by the authorial Other.

The presence of πίστις in the list of spiritual gifts in1 Cor 12:8-10 is problematic. Should not faith be the common basis of the charisms and not a particular gift? What means “faith” in 1 Cor 12:9, given that Paul includes it among the nine manifestations of the Spirit? How to understand and to translate it? Evidently, “faith” points here not simple adherence, but a very precise form of πίστις. In fact, Paul places wisdom, knowledge and “faith” in rapid succession, making them the three principal dimensions of the teaching charisms. As reflected in the repetition of the same gifts in the sequence of 13:2. Some Jewish texts talk about rabbis able to change the point of view of people whose convictions were as immovable as a mountain. They were nicknamed “mountain mover” (oker harim). Thanks to the support of rabbinic literature it becomes possible to explain the presence of πίστις among the teaching gifts in 1 Cor 12:9 and 13:2, offering a translation, certainly broad but more attentive to the semantics of the charism of faith: “if I have all the ability to deliver discourses of faith from which to convince people as immovable as mountains, but I do not have charity, I am nothing”.

The Method of Retrospective Protocols in Translation and Interpreting Studies The aim of the article is to discuss the stages of research conducted adopting the method of retrospective protocols in simultaneous interpreting research. The discussion is based on the author’s own research. The presentation begins with possible research designs usually involving triangulation with other methods. The author also discusses the problem of participants selection, instructions and training provided before the task, the choice of cuing stimuli, and finally transcription and coding conventions.

A Window on the World, a Window to Translation The core of the paper is an analysis of Olga Tokarczuk’s column “Okno” (“The window”), originally commissioned by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, first published in a German translation, and subsequently rendered into English and French. Carried out within the framework of cognitive linguistics, the analysis focuses upon the role of verbs of perception in the original (Polish) text and its three translations (English, German and French). In agreement with linguists of cognitive persuasion, it is claimed that the meaning of a text resides both in the semantic content of words and in particular grammatical structures, selected and arranged in the process of construal. It is argued that the message of “Okno” is rendered through a particular sequencing of a series of verbs of perception, which taken together constitute an extended metaphor based upon the fundamental conceptual metaphor TO KNOW IS TO SEE. Therefore, an adequate translation of the text would require recognition of the structural axis and finding in the target language(s) optimum counterparts of the original verbs. As the analysis of the three translations demonstrates, this goal may be difficult to achieve for either subjective or systemic reasons.

Literary Translation in Four Hands – the Workshop of the German Translation Tandem of Olga Tokarczuk’s The Books of Jacob The Books of Jacob by Olga Tokarczuk, the Polish Nobel Prize winner in literature, was published in 2014 by Wydawnictwo Literackie (Krakow). The German translation of the novel is the result of the work of the tandem, Lisa Palmes and Lothar Quinkenstein, who by using the TOLEDO platform (Translators in Cultural Exchange) programme of the German Translators Fund, have made a “translation journal” entitled Die Funken der Erlösung. Journal zur Übersetzung des Romans Die Jakobsbücher von Olga Tokarczuk (Kampa) available. Its reading allows us to reconstruct the translation tandem’s successive activities in the preparation for the proper translation process: from the reconstruction of the boundary between history and fiction during the reading of the source texts, through the deconstruction of the image of the main character in the original and its reconstruction in the translation, to the exploration of the colour of the epoch, the polyphonicity and intertextuality of the novel and the definition of their translation strategies.

Irina Adelgejm – Russian Translator and Literary Scholar Not only works by Olga Tokarczuk but also translations of her books present one of the most current subjects raised by literary and translation scholars today. The main part of the article presents Irina Adelgejm ‒ a Polish teacher of Russian descent, literary scholar and translator of the highest number of works by Tokarczuk into Russian language. Scientific and literary criticism works as well as other expressions of views concerning the oeuvre of Tokarczuk (interviews, discussions) prove that her (Adelgejm) translational activity is not the effect of the Nobel prize, but they present the array of perennial academic interests focused on the phenomenon of contemporary Polish prose.

The “Brain’s Tyre” in a “Faint Light of Progress”: The Pitfalls of Syntagmatic and Indirect Translation on the Example of the Italian Version of Bieguni (Flights) by Olga Tokarczuk This paper is devoted to the Italian translation of Bieguni by Olga Tokarczuk, entitled I Vagabondi. As the author argues, it is a kind of patchwork translation, partly translated from the original language, partly from the novel’s English version (Flights). The Italian translation of both source texts, Polish and English, contains a full range of typical syntagmatic translation errors, consisting in mechanically reproducing the structures of the source language (word-for-word translation) without delving into the meaning of the translated text. The author analyses at first, on selected examples, translation errors from the Polish source text, distinguishing between lexical errors and dictionary equivalents, including those impeding the fluidity of the target text, false friends, calques, misinterpretation errors as well as omissions and additions. He focuses next on analogous errors produced in the indirect translation from English, sorting separately the lexical and interpretative errors resulting already in the English intermediate text and reproduced in the Italian translation.

J. Underhill, A. Głaz
In December 2019, Olga Tokarczuk, the Nobel Prize laureate in literature for 2018, delivered the Nobel lecture in her native Polish. It was therefore up to her English translators, Jennifer Croft and Antonia Lloyd-Jones, to relay the laureate’s message to the wider audience. Two linguists and translators, James W. Underhill and Adam Głaz, discuss this Nobel lecture in its broader historical, political, and social context, recognizing Olga Tokarczuk’s position on topical issues, the role she plays in contemporary Poland, as well as the controversies she arouses. But Tokarczuk is predominantly a writer: her lecture is concerned with literature and it is literature. In a masterly fashion, the lauretate champions the creative power of storytelling, explores her notion of the tender narrator, and constructs intriguing analogies. She weaves nuanced semantic networks around the Polish words tęsknić/tęsknota (‘miss/missing’ or ‘long/longing for’) and jestem (‘here I am’). Underhill and Głaz discuss the meanders of the English translation of the lecture, pointing out the challenges that the translators had to face and suggesting alternative ways of coping with them. Through dialogue, they inquire into the nature of translation as an endeavour that is profoundly communicative and interpersonal. They emphasize that Olga Tokarczuk is an important voice; the role of her translators is to make this voice heard worldwide.
2019年12月，2018年诺贝尔文学奖得主奥尔加·托卡丘克(Olga Tokarczuk)用母语波兰语发表了诺贝尔奖演讲。因此，她的英文翻译詹妮弗·克罗夫特(Jennifer Croft)和安东尼娅·劳埃德-琼斯(Antonia Lloyd-Jones)将她的信息传递给了更多的读者。两位语言学家和翻译者，James W. Underhill和Adam Głaz，在更广泛的历史、政治和社会背景下讨论了这次诺贝尔奖演讲，承认了Olga Tokarczuk在时事问题上的立场，她在当代波兰所扮演的角色，以及她引起的争议。但托卡尔丘克主要是一位作家:她的演讲是关于文学的，而且就是文学。这位获奖者以精湛的方式捍卫了讲故事的创造力，探索了她对温柔叙述者的看法，并构建了有趣的类比。她围绕波兰语tęsknić/tęsknota(“想念”或“渴望”)和jestem(“我在这里”)编织了微妙的语义网络。Underhill和Głaz讨论了讲座英语翻译的曲折，指出了译者必须面对的挑战，并提出了应对这些挑战的替代方法。通过对话，他们探讨了翻译作为一种具有深刻交际性和人际性的行为的本质。他们强调奥尔加·托卡丘克是一个重要的声音;她的翻译的作用就是让全世界听到她的声音。

Specialized Terminology in the Prose of Olga Tokarczuk as a Translation Challenge This article is a description of my experiences as a translator of four novels by Olga Tokarczuk into Macedonian. I found specialist vocabulary related to various fields of science to be one of the most important translation problems of her prose. In this text, I identify this problem and the challenges that lie behind it – primarily related to the need to develop translator’s competences and the fact that the relatively young Macedonian language lacks dictionary equivalents for many scientific terms. I also describe the translation strategies I undertook, which enabled me to understand and translate these terms into Macedonian.
