DIFFICULTIES IN TRANSLATION: THE MOST COMMON MISTAKES AND METHODS OF AVOIDING THEM (USING TRANSLATION OF THE ORIGINAL SOCIAL AND POLITICAL TEXTS FROM GERMAN INTO RUSSIAN AS AN EXAMPLE)
Analysis of the most common mistakes made in translation of the original social and political texts from German into Russian: incorrect collocations; the logical links between sentence members, paragraphs, etc. are ignored; the historical or relevant context is not taken into account; the temporary forms are not used logically; the stylistic nuances are not taken into account sufficiently; false friends; wrong logical accents as a result of inadequate compliance with punctuation rules; limited understanding of the title as the quintessence of the text content; inappropriate use of the "electronic translator"; inadequate ability to use dictionaries and other reference sources; limited knowledge of the native Russian language; limited understanding of interjections and other auxiliary parts of speech as bearers of additional emotional and semantic meaning. Methods of achieving more adequacy of the translation text: pre-translation analysis; use of the original materials in Russian with identical or similar subjects; use of the reliable reference information sources; self-editing of the finished translation; collective/cross-editing of finished translations within the training group; enlarging synonymic rows, taking into account the stylistic register; active use of set phrases, phraseological units and idioms in both Russian and a foreign language.
