· About this story:
This story is about one mother and her son who live together in one house but because of her bitter nature and behavior there is no harmony between them. As usual she is worried about her son’s marriage and she wants his son to get married with her brother’s daughter. But he is not ready to marry.
But one day a sudden change comes to her. And she realizes how cruel she is becoming with her son. Though the title of this story is “Mother and Son” I have given it as “hdy pirvtRn” Which I found appropriate to this story.
· My experience with this Story :
When I was translating this story from SLT, first I faced the problem was about some meanings of particular words whether they are appropriate to their context or not. So, first of all I needed English- Gujarati dictionary to find out the proper meanings of the words.
Another thing was that I had to read the whole story more than three times to understand the whole situation and the real sense of the story. So that I can preserve the real meanings of the words.
Then it was impossible for me to translate the lines word by word. So, I tried to translate the lines be meaning wise. Then I did not know how to write the story into Gujarati in the same manners or with some change. So, I translated it with my capacity of understanding.
The end
Thank You
Hello Payal! Well done! Translation, though secondary, is creation. It is evident in your work.The title which you have selected for the story proves that you have done close reading of the text. It seems that you have gone through the story for several times before translating it. You have tried best to preserve the orignal feel of the text.Though the text is not what it is in the source language, it is "her sister" in the target language.
ReplyDeleteHi Payal !! It's a great effort you spend to translate the story. It will be more interesting if you write some more text in "About this story" section. All over its a great job you did.
ReplyDeleteyou should shoot some light on your experience and give a critical essay on that.There was no need to mention whole Gujarati work in your assgnment but to justify your point at least give one quote.your experience should long than writing gujarati lines.your problem of looking for English-Gujarati dictionary is also good mentioned. be careful to your job.ok keep it up.
ReplyDeletePayal,
ReplyDeleteHard work is always rewarded. U have been devoted to studies, preparing assignments, it is reflected here. I am impressed by ur language and nice selection of topics. In two of them we have chosen the same but in translation u translated English into Gujarati, that's different, u have worked a lot. That's nice. I hope u will achieve the target u want. With Best Wishes.

Hello Payal, Really you have proved to be a hard working girl. It is really difficult to type the whole assignment in Gujarati Language and you did it. But you could also have cited translated version done on your own. A Big Thank You for so nice comments...
ReplyDeleteHELLO PAYAL ! You have done very well. Also one thing i want to tell you thta i liked the title of the story on which you have worked. But to some extent the discription which you have written is not sufficient for your assignment specially your experience of translating this story. You had to elaborate your experience of translation in more words.
ReplyDeleteALL THE BEST FOR THE FINAL EXAM !
you have written very well regarding to translattion of the short story. you have presented nice examples of Gujarati story and that i liked very much.
ReplyDeleteBe careful to your job.
keep it up.
BEST OF LUCK FOR FINAL EXAM !
