Question

question 3
when were talking about the process of translating a text, what do we mean by \borrowing\?
the translation has borrowed the original word to use in the translation, rather than trying to translate it
the reader has borrowed a copy of the translated text from the library
the translator borrowed someone elses translation to help them
the idea in the original text was borrowed from another culture

Explanation:

In translation, "borrowing" refers to directly using the original word in the target - language text. This is a common practice when there is no equivalent or when the original word has a unique cultural or technical connotation. For example, words like "karaoke" (Japanese) are often borrowed in many languages. The other options are incorrect:

• The second option is about a reader borrowing a physical copy, which is not related to the translation process.
• The third option is about a translator using another translation as a reference, not the concept of "borrowing" in translation terminology.
• The fourth option is about the origin of an idea in the original text, not about the translation technique of borrowing words.

Answer:

The translation has borrowed the original word to use in the translation, rather than trying to translate it
