Sing along to my mad attempt to render Wonderful World in all 24 official languages (in order of accession) to round off our Summer of Languages at @EP_Interpreters youtube.com/watch?v=cl6o4t… #1nt #TerpLove

自分が通訳するときよりドキドキ　 内容は人間として通訳に挑むことが重要であり、感動などを伝えるのは人間しかない。これからの #LenguasVivas 通訳技術課程への示唆としては聴衆の背景を重視し、さらに演劇要素を取り入れるべきではということで相変わらずのMatthew Perret先生👏👏👏　 @MattPerret

@thedrift_mag @nazhongwriting Really interesting piece! Couldn't help wondering if "translation style" isn't an example of "translation style" ("style" not as literary attribute or skill; rather "translationese" 😉) I love the Lu Xun. Javier Marías had similar thoughts erudit.org/en/journals/tt…

“I asked the editor how he dealt with the thorny issue of ‘translation style.’ He looked at me, puzzled. ‘What’s that?’” — @nazhongwriting thedriftmag.com/i-bet-people-w…

I’m pretending America doesn’t exist for a few days. Any talk of “momentous political events stateside” is, of course, a reference to Germany. Germany has States.

Netflix is plugging me a "murder mystery in the Australian Alps". Presumably part of the mystery is how, when you're hiking from Krajnska Gora to the Laghi di Fusine via Arnoldstein on a perfectly clear day, if you take a wrong turn you can find yourself in Yarrangobilly.

Another excellent blog from @chrisgreybrexit. Long may it continue! Its references are always helpful and thoughtful, with astute analysis, especially of UK.

What’s happening? Everyone can reply.

Having so much fun learning one language, in another I accidentally buy a novel on relay.

Every day, I think “There can’t be another pun worse than that.” I love Belgium.

@shedworking That’s what Diddy used to say before playing a terrible song.

Here’s my Diddy story. My Mum used to listen to David Hamilton on Radio 2 when I was growing up. That’s it.

#MultilingualismDay D-3 😱 @MattPerret @AWalterDrop

@driverbod125 I think stops in Germany are open for international reservations (i.e. travel to Dečin and beyond)

@driverbod125 It could be a stock move- the composition on their website shows 9 carriages in use

Actually I’m sensing a huge missed opportunity here. I was at the station to watch the sleeper leave; it’s a long train - 15 coaches! and the 5 seated vehicles at the front appeared to be empty …
