Question

question 10 of 10
a translator makes structural decisions that help a story to be understood in another language but also tries to:
a. recognize the original authors prejudices and personal biases.
b. keep the meaning and spirit of the original text intact.
c. change the content and meaning of the original text.
d. leave out offensive or unimportant material from the original text.

Explanation:

The role of a translator is to convey the original text's message accurately in another language. Option A is not a primary goal of translation. Option C is incorrect as translators don't aim to change the content/meaning. Option D is also incorrect as translators typically don't omit material unless for specific ethical/legal reasons, and the main goal is preserving the text's meaning and spirit. Option B aligns with the core purpose of translation.

Answer:

B. keep the meaning and spirit of the original text intact.
