Dimitris > Dimitris's Quotes

“A satisfactory translation is not always possible, but a good translator is never satisfied with it. It can usually be improved. (Newmark)”
― Peter Newmark, Manual de traducción (Linguistica / Linguistic)

“There is no such thing as a perfect, ideal, or 'correct' translation. A translator is always trying to extend his knowledge and improve his means of expression; he is always pursuing facts and words.”
― Peter Newmark, Manual de traducción (Linguistica / Linguistic)

“Translation is a two-edged instrument: it has the special purpose of demonstrating the learner's knowledge of the foreign language, either as a form of control or to exercise his intelligence in order to develop his competence.”
― Peter Newmark, Manual de traducción (Linguistica / Linguistic)
