Hunglish into English

The Elements of Translation from Hungarian into English With an infectious enthusiasm for translation. Judy Szöllősy presents a concise, practical, comprehensive guide for translators and would-be translators of Hungarian nonfiction texts into English, whether in or out of the classroom. Her advice and guidelines, examples, exercises and reflections are based on years of experience with translation and the teaching of translation, along with first-hand knowledge of the most frequently asked questions by students. With its focus on the concrete over the theoretical, The Elements of Translation, A Modern Guide for Modern Students aspires to be a valuable handbook and frequently consulted guide. But when all is said and done, it hopes to address and engage all those who have, at one time or another, wondered about the nature of language and meaning, and how two languages - in this case Hungarian and English - interact in the mysterious process of translation.
