Ken Liu Quotes
My Goal Is To Act As A Faithful Interpreter, Preserving As Much Of The Original's Nuances Of Meaning As Possible Without Embellishment Or Omission. Yet A Translator Must Also Balance Fidelity To The Source, Aptness Of Expression, And Beauty Of Style. The Best Translations Into English Do Not, In Fact, Read As If They Were Originally Written In English. The English Words Are Arranged In Such A Way That The Reader Sees A Glimpse Of Another Culture's Patterns Of Thinking, Hears An Echo Of Another Language's Rhythms And Cadences, And Feels A Tremor Of Another People's Gestures And Movements.
