Reading Original Texts

Translation Conflicts

Translator Yoon Young-sam studied Translation Studies at the University of Birmingham in the UK, bringing a sense of authenticity to his work. The book also includes English practice problems (?) that you can try translating. The numerous little tips and practical comments will be a great help.

Anyway, Knitting

This book is an essay and translation-related work by translator Seo Rami. While it includes stories about knitting, it also contains a wealth of information on translation. It's not a scholarly or informational book; rather, it reflects the translator's hobbies, offering a glimpse into the life of a translator. It's a heartwarming essay woven with a passion for knitting and the smooth writing style characteristic of a translator.

Translator Momo's Daily Life

This is an essay on translation written by two translators, No Seung-yeong and Park San-ho, who take turns narrating. Just like 'Anyway, Knitting,' I found it quite enjoyable. Despite its gentle title, the content is surprisingly substantial.

Betrayal of Words

This is another book by Park San-ho, whom I discovered through the previous book. It's a fun way to learn about English words that are familiar but actually have deep and varied meanings. If you're interested in learning English, give it a light read!
