En 1996, Tony Blair (chef du parti travailliste de l'époque) s'exprime devant les députés de la 'House of Commons', clamant qu'avec les conservateurs au pouvoir (John Major étant le Premier Ministre à l'époque), il y aura une crise de la NHS chaque année. Voici le clip en question :

What is the most terrifying thing is that we knew it was coming and that BioWare is only the latest one in the string of slashing. Abominable behaviour and the worst that this macabre industry can create. Lots of thoughts for the people impacted.

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

Completely! I remember of a sentence where 〝平穏〟 was explicitly created by〝虚構〟and the latter shines such a strong light on the former. Even in the first pass, I couldn't help but think of "normalcy", not even a choice in JP>EN dictionaries. We are always slaves of context—and our personal readings.

Cadensia 婉玉🪻🎀 @cadensia.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026
Also, when I do my first pass, my goal is to have something written quickly. From reading the source text, I see the stylistic challenges and the difficult expressions. If I can deal with them instantly, good. Else, I keep that in my mind and I go for literal with a note to think about it later.

Cadensia 婉玉🪻🎀 @cadensia.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026
For literary translation, I'm more holistic and I translate whole paragraphs, refusing the line by line. And then I refine at a small scale. As lete says, literal translation is just a tool and we know when to use it, because we sense the difficulties of the text from the very first read.

Cadensia 婉玉🪻🎀 @cadensia.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026
As always, what matters is the broader context and how everything flows together. And here, the actual method of translation depends on the medium and the translator. I tend to go textbox by textbox in games for a first pass, and I do an immediate "stylised" second pass for the whole dialogue.

Cadensia 婉玉🪻🎀 @cadensia.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026
Specifically because there's no pure 1:1 equivalence between words/expression. Our literal translation (the first pass) is already a degree of interpretation, even it comes automatically to us. Sometimes it just clicks and can be left almost as is. But that's to the translators' discretion.

Let's not allow the term "literal translation" to be commandeered by MTL with poor context comprehension, which is only "literal" in a narrow type of way. Utilized carefully, translating literally is one of many tools that can produce a TL faithful to the source. Sometimes it's the preferable base!

He continued: “How do you survive AI? Amazon is a very AI friendly company to the tune of 50 billion dollars invested to OpenAI. I am not an AI friendly actor. I didn’t sign the waiver to let them use AI on Spider-Noir. It’s kind of like I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again. But that’s OK. So I got to get with these young directors who are Gen Z and they’re going at it their own way, whether it’s through the YouTube culture or whatever it is. They’re doing it from scratch and by hand. I want to get with that.”

Anne Carson translates, but it's really her re-imagination of Sappho's poetry. There's so much negative space, pages almost blank save for a line, emergent text alignment, etc. It embraces Sappho's poetry as a lacunary text, *for us*, *for our eyes*. As often with Carson, meaning from silence.

An ethereal translation, removing a lot of fragmentary words while amplifying certain lines ("πόλλα... κά[λα" being this very heavy and closing "yes many and beautiful things"). Second part could be more detailed, but no, it's the lightness of the Campbell translation, but "daring" as an adjective.

We are in a new sort of Lost Decade and the cycle is just starting again. But here, we have a synthesis of the realistic simulation and the "social school" that we saw with the BokuNatsu, and especially with the recent slice-of-life anime. Fishing is again a continuation of the long teenage years.
