                         Here, is the poster of our workshop on Translation study. 

                            Very interesting title he brings in this workshop. "My love story with translation" is the title of the workshop.

                            Here are some question which is given by our teacher. 

1) Has your understanding of translation improved?  

Ans.  

                        Yes, it is improved. I learned many things in this translation workshop. Here are some picture which I've took from the session which i learned in that workshop. 

                         These are the parts of translation study. It will be easy to understand the topic through this pictures. 

2) Can write about translation in terms of metaphors? 

Ans. 

                            Yes maybe, i can write about it. We can use metaphors in the translation. Though it is very tough to understand and to do the work but i can try my hand on it fore sure. 

                            Here are some pictures of it. 

3) What according to you is the most difficult aspect of practical translation? 

Ans. 

                                The whole thing about translation is itself very difficult and tough to understand and to do work. It is very difficult to translat every gujarati words in to english words. I've learned that if you want to do translation you have to add many words and sentences by your own. For detail one should add many words in the paragraph. And there are many gujarati words that are not available in english language. So in that idea it is very difficul work. 

4) Learning outcome from the workshop. 

Ans. 

                            I've learned many things from this translation workshop. At first i found it very easy to do and easy to understand but it was not like that it is more ddifficult than anything. We have done one exercise in a paper. Here is the picture of that exercise. 

                       I've learned many new words in the workshop.

                                5. M I T

                                6. Service Space

                       He tell us that in Paradise Lost the author has used latin structure. Here is the example :

    Long and tall was satan.

                             Here are some statement from him:

1) Translation is the closest reading of the text.

3) ધર્મ એ વ્યવસ્થા છે અધ્યાત્મ એ અવસ્થા છે. 

4) west - tvans - spatial

5) Ind - અન - Temporal

                  He asks us about the definition of the god. Here is my answer :

AN INVISIBLE PERSONALITY IN WHICH PEOPLE HAVE FAITH. 

                         He askes to do translation of this words.

1) ભાઈ વગર ની બેન 

2) બેન વગર નો ભાઈ 

3) મારાં લોકભારતી ના શિક્ષણ એ મારી કેળવણી કરી. 

4) ઝેર તો પીધા છે જાણી જાણી.
