Abstract
Language and culture have always been interwoven and could not exist without each other. Language reflects the beliefs and values of a culture and is shaped by it at the same time. The most important bond in communicating between cultures is the translator. His/her task is to introduce the target audience to a different culture enriching his own. This paper gives a brief overview of the most influential translation studies theories, analyses the qualities of a good translation and the issue of untranslatability. It stresses the importance of the cultural knowledge of a translator in addition to his/her linguistic and stylistic competence. It lists different definitions of culture and analyses the relationship between culture and language. Furthermore, it emphasises the role of a translator as a cultural mediator and mentions various strategies and principles of translating cultural capital. Its main focus is on the analysis of culture-bound terms from the book ‘Naš čovjek na terenu’ by the Croatian author Robert Perišić and the strategies used for their translation into English by Will Firth. Furthermore, it discusses the translation strategies used, validates the choices made by the translator and offers alternative solutions for particular translation challenges.
Abstract (croatian)
Jezik i kultura oduvijek su bili isprepleteni te jedno bez drugoga ne bi mogli postojati. U jeziku se ogledaju vjerovanja i vrijednosti kulture, dok istovremeno ta kultura oblikuje jezik. Najvažnija spona u komunikaciji između kultura jesu prevoditelji. Njihov je zadatak upoznati ciljnu publiku s drugom kulturom i na taj način obogatiti vlastitu. Ovaj rad donosi kratak pregled najutjecajnijih teorija prevođenja, analizira karakteristike dobroga prijevoda i problem neprevodivosti te ističe važnost prevoditeljeva znanja o kulturi, uz jezične i stilske kompetencije. Rad daje i različite definicije kulture te istražuje vezu između kulture i jezika. Naglašava ulogu prevoditelja kao posrednika između kultura te navodi različite strategije i principe prevođenja kulturnog kapitala. U fokusu je rada analiza kulturoloških pojmova iz romana 'Naš čovjek na terenu' hrvatskoga autora Roberta Perišića i strategije kojima se pri njihovu prevođenju na engleski jezik koristio prevoditelj Will Firth. U radu se komentiraju i validiraju prevoditeljske strategije i u određenim slučajevima nude alternativna rješenja.
