When I went to the lecture (&#8220;translation difficulties caused by culture&#8221;), I only knew I wanted to do it on Stephen King&#8217;s books (surprise surprise) and I had had in mind something about &#8220;Americanisms&#8221; or <i>realia<\/i> in a more academic term. So, I&#8217;m comparing the first translation (Carrie, 1976 in Finnish) and the newest translation (Everything&#8217;s Eventual, 2003 in Finnish) and studying how they differ in the way the translators have decided to translate things that are of the American society (history, culture&#8230;) and that might be unfamiliar to Finnish people.<br \/>\nPretty neat <img src=\"https:\/\/www.all-things-me.net\/blog\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><br \/>\nAt the moment (literally), I&#8217;m listing words in Everything&#8217;s Eventual, cause I have it <img src=\"https:\/\/www.all-things-me.net\/blog\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> English Carrie is arriving to our library any day now, my sister was kind to borrow the Finnish Carrie today for me, but I have to list the English words first.

I have to go to the library and ask the staff to order it for me cause I need a specific book &#8211; a month&#8217;s time to keep it, not 14 days. It&#8217;s so new that some of the books are still &#8220;quick loans&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week there was a guest nodder but this week the star was back Oh well&#8230; Last night I struggled with an assignment until I was feeling pretty hopeless, but today during the break on Context-free Parsing Methods I got it (head-driven phrase structure grammar on ProFIT) working.
