translator as communcator

Lexical choice
The two texts in 
Sample 9.2
diverge so widely in terms of lexical choice that
only some representative instances will be cited here. Source text items are
presented on the left-hand side of the page, with a formal English version in
square brackets; target text items appear on the right.
prolongados esfuerzos [prolonged efforts]
obstinate determination 
sabios [wise men]
diviners
encuentros [encounters]
clash of cultures
el hombre indígena [indigenous man]
pre-Colombian civilization
testimonies [testimonies]
written records
antiguos mexicanos [ancient Mexicans]
Indians
A clear trend is already discernible in these target text choices. The
(Eurocentric) point of view presupposed in the choice of the items pre-
Colombian and Indian were already alluded to in our earlier analysis; here, it
will be seen that, in this respect, the source text adopts a more indigenous
perspective. But when ‘prolonged efforts’ become obstinate determination and
‘encounters’ become clashes, the observer cannot avoid suspecting that the shift
in point of view is much more than one of geographical and cultural perspective.
At any rate, a completely different text world begins to develop. Above all,
whereas the meaning potential of sabios covers both Western (i.e. purely
rational) and non-Western forms of wisdom, the use of diviners tends to exclude
the form of wisdom which is currently valued in the Western world. In this
instance, it is the translator who opts for a marked term to represent an unmarked
source text item. Crucially, the two terms pre-suppose diametrically opposed
IDEOLOGY 129


world views, one in which a group of historical actors is still valued and seen as
relevant, another in which the same group is classified as no more than a
historical curiosity.
