on the basis of interest - English Spanish Translator Org: Translation Forum � Translators Forums

Mart�n Fierro · 07-20-2009, 03:50 PM

En la introducci�n a su libro de entrevistas el autor dice que las transcribi� con la mayor fidelidad posible haciendo pocos trabajos de edici�n:

"I edited interviews only for clarity and on the basis of interest".

"No he editado las entrevistas sino en aras de la claridad y en base al �inter�s?"

Creo que "interest" se refiere a otra cosa, no me cierra mucho.

a qu� otra cosa se podr�a referir?

de todos modos, no entiendo bien la oraci�n en ingl�s, me suena un poco rara, qu� opina el resto?

It sounds vague to me. It isn't clear to me what it means. Maybe the editor took out the boring parts?

Sí, es muy ambiguo, y uno de los casos en que tenemos que tirarnos a la pileta y hacer una traducción con la ayuda de la fe, o sea poner lo que creemos que quiso decir el autor pero sin estar seguros en un cien por ciento. ¡Ja, ja!

I think it means that he edited the interviews based on the interest (of the audience, target, client, etc) and "claridad" meaning that he edited parts that were not clearly understood.
Hope it helps!

yeah, I quite agree with Sandra, because it might be "interest" for audience or for client...so, I guess that by leaving "inter�s" you are leaving it quite open too...
