Example text

This may very well be true, and its truth may have something to do with the admitted complexity of the task; however, this is not much of a thesis and even less of a proof, being no more than another statement about the now chronic lack of a rigorous theory for translation. It would seem to be a weak argument from despair, with no hope beyond the defeat of all vain hope in theory, and thus an argument for a new type of empiricism or pragmatism only by default, where quality and originality are being falsely claimed for quantity and novelty.

Yet the fact remains that before a given translation is entirely completed, another mind or minds must be brought to bear. The process itself optimally requires it. The process may be discussed as a six-step scheme. It should be emphasized that although the steps are discussed sequentially, having a sequential logic, for some translators various steps could be carried on simultaneously. The steps are: (1) preliminary analysis, (2) exhaustive Page 2 style and content analysis, (3) acclimation of the text, (4) reformulation of the text, (5) analysis of the translation, and (6) review and comparison.

As process, this much does happen, and it is good that it does. While ultimate translations are never written, canonical ones are. And many useful and effective ones, whether longlived or ephemeral. We should keep in mind while reading the discussions of Graham and Ross that although theoretically translation is almost inconceivable, practically it happens all the timeand rather well. Indeed, the six-step outline just described might lead to the inference that it should be possible to have Page 5 a perfect translation, if not an ultimate one, every time.
