ABSTRACT This article considers literary translators’ use of mathematical imagery to reject notions of discrete language systems in favour of a proliferative view of language variety. Drawing on research by Michael Cronin, Elizabeth Klosty Beaujour and Clive Scott, the discussion centres on how the active process of translation discloses language’s endless meaning-making potential; and, in turn, how this shapes the translator’s autobiographical encounter with the complexity and ambiguity of how they relate to the world around them. To examine how this plays out in practice, particular focus is given to how this encounter is presented in life writing by: (a) self-translators, such as Ilan Stavans, Julien/an Green, and Ariel Dorfman; and (b) translators of other authors’ work, including Jennifer Croft and Kate Briggs. With reference to these case studies, the translator’s task of reformulating an irreducibly plural source text as a finite target text is seen through the lens of mathematicians’ efforts to represent the fractal heterogeneity of the natural world through neat models and formulas. In considering how translators present the value of their practice, the following discussion explores why translation is frequently championed by those who wish to adopt a thorough yet open-minded approach to literary study.

ABSTRACT The following text is an excerpted chapter from Noémie Grunenwald’s book Sur les bouts de la langue and Traduire en féministe/s, a translation memoir written in French and devoted to Grunenwald's reflections translating ‘as a feminist’ from English into French. This chapter focusses on her experience translating identity markers such as ‘blackness’, ‘butch’, ‘femme’ and others and the difficulty of translating them into a gendered language such as French. She also reflects on the use of inclusive writing in her translations: word endings and pronouns in French that seek to include both genders and avoid having to choose between two. It is followed by a translator’s coda, a mini-translation memoir that tells the story of the difficulties the translator faced translating the chapter.
ABSTRACT 下文节选自诺埃米-格伦瓦尔德（Noémie Grunenwald）的著作《Sur les bouts de la langue and Traduire en féministe/s》中的一章，这是一本用法语撰写的翻译回忆录，讲述了格伦瓦尔德将 "作为一名女权主义者 "从英语翻译成法语的反思。本章重点介绍了她翻译 "黑人"、"男同性恋"、"女性 "等身份标识的经历，以及将这些标识翻译成法语等性别语言的困难。她还反思了在翻译中使用包容性写作的问题：法语中的词尾和代词力求包含两种性别，避免在两种性别中做出选择。随后是译者的尾声，这是一本小型翻译回忆录，讲述了译者在翻译这一章时所面临的困难。
