Basic theory of translation 2

What is the characteristic of the language of translation?

• It is always objective and free of the translator's influence.

• It reflects the translator's choices and interpretation of the source text.

• It remains identical to the source language's style and register.

• It prioritizes literal translations over idiomatic expressions.

Which translation strategy prioritizes conveying the message of the text over adhering closely to its original form?

• Faithful translation (FT)

• Idiomatic translation (IT)

• Free translation (FrT)

• Adaptation translation (AT)

Which term refers to words containing only one morpheme?

• Polymorphemic

• Monomorphemic

• Bound morphemes

• Inflectional morphemes

Which translation method focuses primarily on preserving the word order of the original text?

• Literal translation (LiT)

• Semantic translation (SeT)

• Faithful translation (FT)

• Word-for-word translation (WT)

How might the translator create occasional equivalents for equivalent-lacking SL units?

• Using loan-words imitating the SL form

• Using approximate substitutes

• Using transformations

• All of the above

Which translation strategy is described as being the freest type, focusing more on content than form in the target language?

• Communicative translation (CT)

• Faithful translation (FT)

• Free translation (FrT)

• Idiomatic translation (IT)

What is the purpose of using transformations in translation?

• To simplify the SL units

• To convey additional information

• To create identical equivalents

• To eliminate footnotes

Which translation type might be employed when summarizing a written text, retaining only the main idea and omitting supporting details?

• Faithful translation (FT)

• Word-for-word translation (WT)

• Gist translation (GT)

• Literal translation (LiT)

What is emphasized about the source text in translation?

• Its cultural context should be ignored to avoid bias.

• Its grammar should be simplified for easier translation.

• The translator should remain faithful to its original wording.

• It might need adaptations for the target audience's understanding.

What is suggested about the translation of English idioms into Vietnamese?

• They have permanent equivalents

• They have variable equivalents

• The choice depends on grammatical forms

• The meaning is consistent in all contexts
