Alltranslation is a compromise-the effort to be literal and the e.
ffort to be idiomatic BenjaminJowett (1817-93) This book is
designed to provide intermediate and advanced students of English
with practice in the translation ofDutch texts into English. It
contains fifty prose passages, most of them taken from recent Dutch
novels or journals, all of them tried out on several generations of
our own students in the 'pre-kandidaatsfase' of their studies at
the English Department of the University of Nijmegen. In these
respects, it is not spectacularly different from many other books
ofits kind. We have, however, tried to offer the student rather
more support in his translation work than is usually clone: each
text is provided with a suggested translation of the first few
lines and with notes containing information on grammar and idiom,
sometimes preceded by supplementary material from British or
American sources. The second part of the book comprises a short
contrastive grammar speciallywritten to meet theneeds oftheuser. In
this way wehope to offer a self-contained translation course which
reinforces the interdependence of grammar, vocabulary, textual
interpretation and style. Most ofthe texts in this book are
reproduced in substantially the sameform and wording as in the
original sources. In some cases editing was necessary in order, for
example, to reduce long articles to more manageable proportions. In
no cases, however, were we moved to doctor the originals in order
to disambiguate them or to make them easier to translate.
