An interesting read for every upstart translator. Good practical advice, although some of the theoretical theses are somewhat out-of-date. A further limitation of the book is its orientation towards an English-speaking translator translating from French. There are some examples of translating from/into German, but Newmark has some archaistic notions about the German language, which could confuse/mislead a modern-day translation student.

A little outdated (published in 1988), but still a good reference book. Not necessarily readable; very technical.
This is another book by Peter Newmark that I have re-read after a gap of twenty-odd years in which so much has happened, including the Internet and then the internet. Clearly IT developments have made this work rather dated, so that e.g. the sections on research are largely redundant, but overall I recommend this textbook for its very readable run-down of translation procedures, approaches, issues and terminology. I think his categorization of these issues will help the newcomer to get into good...more

Ten pocit, keď dočítam knihu s vedomím, že som si dôležité veci v nej povyznačovala a môžem sa k tomu potom vrátiť. A keď sa vrátim zistím, že tam nič nie je vyznačené? No, samozrejme, že som si to neuložila! *plačem* Môžem si to pekne-krásne prečítať znova. Veď prečo nie, keď mám aj tak toho všetkého 'málo'.

Demasiado básico. No entiendo cómo esto todavía sigue siendo un assigned reading cuando:
1) está super out-of-date
2) tiene ejemplos del francés y del alemán que no te sirven en lo más mínimo
3) dice cosas demasiado estupidas, como por ejemplo 'you have to look up all words you do not know'
REALLY NEWMARK?
Leer esto fue una reverenda pérdida de tiempo.

Přibližně od půlky se to vůbec nedá číst, Newmark se snaží vypsat všechny situace, které můžou nastat, když překládáte zkratku/metaforu/neologismus/cokoli a říct k tomu, jaká jsou všechna možná řešení. Děs.

“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.” — 31 likes
