迷失在词语中
Mina is a translator, and she works with two languages every day.
Some words move easily from one language to the other.
But other words are like small stones in her shoe.
Yesterday a client gave her a poem about his grandmother's kitchen.
The poem had a special word for the smell of warm bread.
Mina looked in three dictionaries, but she found no English word for it.
She could write "the smell of bread," yet that felt too flat.
So she wrote a short note beside the line and explained the feeling.
The client read it and smiled.
"That is honest," he said.
Mina learned that some things stay untranslatable, and a good translator can say so.
