Learning outcomes
|
This course freely follows Translation seminar 1 as a basic course for getting acquainted with translation practice, theoretical translation problems and the translation of written Japanese into Czech. Texts translated in class represent different functional styles and types of texts and are more demanding in terms of style and content than those that are interpreted and translated during Translation seminar 1. Students learn how to work with the original Japanese text, interpret it and translate it correctly into Czech. They solve the basic problems of Japanese translation into Czech and discuss them, get acquainted with the different styles of Japanese writing and their specifics and learn different translation techniques and procedures. The course primarily focuses on interpreting and translating different types of texts from different functional styles into the mother tongue. For each class students translate texts from Japanese into Czech, each of approximately 1 page length (A4). Based on the discussion of the translation solutions at the seminar, the suggestions are incorporated into the translations.
Students learn how to analyze and interpret the original Japanese text in detail and successfully solve the basic problems when translating Japanese into Czech. They also get theoretically familiar with the differences between various Japanese functional styles, and practicaly learn the methods of distinguishing these styles in the target language.
