What makes this essay distinctive is the sufficient example and comparison.First the author uses the example of translating “the uncle if the baron” to introduce the topic on the difficulties of translation.Then the translation of “River Snow” illustrates the huge differences between two languages.Then the translation of “Balakirevs drom” is used as an example of taking liberties with the text.These examples explain the viewpoints of the writer clearly and vividly so that the readers could follow the essay easily.
The author is also good at making comparisons.For example he compared translators to craftsmen and actors emphasizing that translators should both serve the original work and have their own interpretation.
