Translation, Homework for Week 12

***BASIS UPDATE 7/7/17: WS III is still not featured on my Basis log-in, so please don't be surprised if can't register for the exam yet. We will try to fix this as soon as possible.***

For homework, please translate one of the following two texts:

Politics (translate up to "China ist seit Jahren..." and pay particular attention to translating the fragments in the German ST into complete sentences in the English TT): http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/g20-gipfel-in-hamburg-merkel-plan-zu-afrika-mit-hintergedanken-a-1155875.html

Culture (translate up to the paragraph that begins "Hier nun beginnt"): http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/musik/jay-z-mit-neuem-album-4-44-a-1155237.html

My solutions will be featured in a separate post on this blog Monday night. 

In addition to this, please have a look at the Maori and Theresa May texts I distributed today in class (for reasons of copyright, I can't publish this on the blog). Bring any questions/comments you have with regard to my solutions with you to our next class.

A couple of free online collocations dictionaries can be accessed here (with the sample entry for "majority"): http://www.freecollocation.com/search?word=majority

The COBUILD dictionary is also a great online resource for context: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/majority

Other good print collocations dictionaries include those published by Oxford and Macmillan.

If you would like your grade on your portfolio translation before the exam, these need to be submitted to me by this Sunday, July 9th at midnight. You will then receive your grade and my comments on your work in our class on July 12th (Wed.) or July 14th (Fri.).

Remember: our final exam will be on July 19th at 4 p.m. (sharp!) for the Wednesday group and on July 21st at 12 p.m. (sharp!) for the Friday group. (Locations TBA on the blog next week; I'm hoping to get a larger room for the Wednesday group.) I need to know IMMEDIATELY if you cannot make either one of those dates. Portfolio translations are due on these respective dates at the latest.
