翻訳Requirement

Translation Requirement (Japanese into English) 10%

Translate an article or a passage on the Internet that’s related to the main topics of the reading:
  • The translation has to be done in three stages.
  • The piece must be about 400 English words.
  • Please show your instructor the piece on or before 10月23日。Please send it via e-mail, or send the URL.

draft 1  10月30日
Fairly literal. May have some English words untranslated IF you cannot find it in dictionaries that are available on-line, electronically, or in paper.

draft 2  11月27日
Has to be fairly idiomatic. Needs to be intelligible to mono-lingual, educated English speakers

draft 3  12月11日
Has to be smooth and has no trace of translationese.

The three drafts will be assessed for:
  • Effort that goes into producing Draft 1 (use of resources)
  • Progress you have made between Draft 1 and Draft 2
  • Comprehension (accuracy) of the Japanese text in Draft 3
  • Word choice, appropriateness of the register in Draft 3
