Abstract(s)
O presente relatório de projeto vai expor e analisar as atividades e investigação
realizadas durante o desenvolvimento do presente projeto. O principal objetivo do mesmo é
a tradução do livro ‘O Outro Lado do Caminho’, do autor Carlos Clemente, de português
para inglês britânico. Este livro conta com um carácter bastante religioso e cultural e, devido
a tal, uma outra questão que este projeto vai abordar será uma pesquisa a alguns termos
culturais, presentes na obra, com o intuito de perceber qual é a melhor técnica de tradução
para os mesmos.
Primeiramente, o relatório terá um pequeno resumo e apresentação do livro traduzido
durante o desenvolvimento do projeto. De seguida, será feita uma abordagem teórica à
tradução cultural, tema principal, e também uma abordagem teórica a termos culturais
específicos conhecidos pela literatura por CSI (Culture Specific-Items). Após a abordagem
teórica, será exposta a metodologia de investigação para o estudo dos termos culturais
presentes na obra, seguida do estudo em si que conta com a apresentação de dados e
interpretação dos resultados. A tradução do livro será também descrita, assim como todas as
dificuldades e desafios encontrados ao longo da mesma. Para terminar, o relatório conta com
as conclusões tiradas ao longo do desenvolvimento do projeto.
A tradução de termos culturais pode ser algo bastante desafiante e difícil de
concretizar, isto porque a tradução errónea de certos termos culturais pode levar a que
culturas se sintam ofendidas e a que essa tradução acabe por se tornar uma desinformação.
Apesar de alguns autores já mencionarem estratégias de tradução para esses termos, o
presente relatório tem como objetivo contribuir, de certa forma, para o estudo dessa área,
assim como mostrar os desafios de traduzir uma obra tão focada em aspetos culturais.
The present project report will expose and analyse the activities and research carried out during the development of this project. The main objective of the latter is translating the book 'O Outro Lado do Caminho', by the author Carlos Clemente, from Portuguese into British English. This book has a very religious and cultural character. Due to that, another issue that this project will address will be researching some cultural terms present in the novel in order to understand what the best translation technique for them is. Firstly, the report will have a short summary and presentation of the book translated during the development of the project. Next, there will be a theoretical approach to cultural translation, the main theme and, also, a theoretical approach to culture-specific terms known in the literature as CSI (Culture Specific-Items). After the theoretical approach, the research methodology for the study of the cultural terms present in the book will be exposed, followed by the study itself, which includes the presentation of data and interpretation of the results. The translation of the book will also be described, as well as all the difficulties and challenges encountered along the way. To finish, the report includes the conclusions drawn throughout the development of the project. The translation of cultural terms can be rather challenging and difficult to achieve because the mistranslation of certain cultural terms can lead to cultures feeling offended and that translation ends up becoming misinformation. Although some authors have already mentioned translation strategies for these terms, this report aims to contribute, in a way, to the study of this area, as well as to show the challenges of translating a work so focused on cultural aspects.
