50、healthD. mediators have a good sense of heari ngDFor years I have bee n asked by several people how and why I came to tran slatea novel by Virginia Woolf in 1945. I graduated from the University of Ankara in 1941 and my fourteachers, including Orphan Burian, are members of the Translation Bureau who

51、 prepared a list of worksto be translated into Turkish and set themselves to tran slat ing some of these, besides shoulderi ng theheavy work of correct ing orediting the translations submitted to the Bureau. Orphan Burian, now mostly knownfor his translations of Shakespeare, had started to translate

52、 To the Lighthouse for the Tran slati onBureau, but at the same time he wan ted to do someth ing fromShakespeare. So he tran sferred it to me.For me, To the Lighthouse was love at first sight or rather at first readi ng.To tran slate a book, I first read it from the beg inning to the end. Then I sta

53、rtedwriting each sentence by hand. Whenl finishedthe whole book I read my translationfrom the begi nning to the end, check ing it with the origi nal,and making correct ions.Then I typed it, and read the typed copy, making changes again. All in all that added up to fivereadings. I started translating

54、 the novel in 1943 and submitted it to15the Bureau in 1944. It was published in 1945 under the general title of“New English Literature”in theseries called“Translations from World Literature”known asthe“Classical Series”.So, the first book by Virginia Woolf in Turkish appeared in 1945, and it was_7、_

55、To the Lighthouse. This was eighteen years after its publicationin England in 1927.To me the book itself was pure poetry; I read it as if in a dream. Not trying to dive very deeply into it, Isort of swam on it or over it. Now, years later, I swimin it. Even after so many years, in each read ing I be

56、come con scious of new layers-i- 3- Iof which I haven t been aware before. It keeps pace with my experiences in lifeas years go by, and each readi ng is a new readi ng for me.In 1982 and aga in in 1989 I revised it for two new editi ons and I aga in did itsentence by sentence check ing it with the o

57、rigi nal. I n those years I had thoughtit was n ecessary to revise my tran slati ons every ten years, but now I thi nk I mustdo it every three or four years. In a country like Turkey, where we work very hardto clear our Ianguage from old and new foreign words, we should try to be up to date as to th

58、e wordswe are using, and of the same importanee are the studies being madeon the methods or tech niq ues of tran slati on, and new approaches in tran slatio n.While tran slat in g, I usually have both the writer and the reader in mind. Thenovels she wrote after 1920 were especially new for most of t

59、he readers. She usually uses very shortsenten ces, followed by rather long on es. I remember sentences of more than t en lines which werent easy for me to translate as they were. And inTurkish our having only one word, the word“O, for“he”,“she”,“it ” inEnglish, made me repeat the names of the charac

60、ters more often than Woolf did. And16tran slati on, thinking it would make an easier readi ng in Turkish.Whentranslating,I make use of all kinds of dictionaries.A difficult Englishword for me is the wordvision”.InTo the Lighthouse, the artist Lily Briscoe is trying to finish thepicture she has been
