Waandishi Hujifunza Ufundi Wao Kutoka kwa Kila Mmoja

Edith Grossman (1936-2023): Writers learn their craft from one another

[Scroll down for the English]

KISWAHILI

“Tafsiri, kwa kweli, ni nguvu kali inayoenea kwamba hupanua na hukuza mtazamo wa mwandishi wa mtindo, mbinu, na muundo kwa kumruhusu kuingia katika ulimwengu wa fasihi usiopatikani kwenye utamaduni mmoja wa kitaifa au lugha...waandishi hujifunza ufundi wao kutoka kwa kila mmoja, kama vile wachoraji na wanamuziki wanavyofanya.”

- Edith Grossman (1936-2023), mfasiri wa fasihi, mtetezi wa tafsiri, na mwandishi wa Why Translation Matters (2010).

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

“Translation is, in fact, a powerful, pervasive force that broadens and deepens a writer's perception of style, technique, and structure by allowing him or her to enter literary worlds not necessarily found in one national or linguistic tradition…writers learn their craft from one another, just as painters and musicians do.”

- Edith Grossman (1936-2023), literary translator, translation advocate, and author of Why Translation Matters (2010).
