An Elaborate Focus on Kinship Terms

Human Interests in Various Fields

Human beings have varied needs, interests and attractions. Their interest and knowledge spread out to all fields like literature, music, painting, science, technology, economics, history, philosophy, astrology, geology, mathematic, computer and its various communicative technologies. In the modern world, human beings are not content with their intense knowledge in a single field. They try to gain the same depth of knowledge in other fields too. This is mainly due to the dependent nature of human life. Their present life is a bundle of knowledge, collected by their forefathers crossing the barriers of colour, caste, creed, country and so on. Human beings’ nature is to adapt themselves to all that is beautiful, potential, powerful and profitable. This is made possible through translation. Translation helps in the over-all growth of human life.

Translation is Creative Work

Translation is a creative work of art. It transforms one form of art into another. It has always been an adjunct of creative writing itself and an important discipline as it is very much in use in every sphere of activity. Translations are the best intermediaries between two different literatures. It is a very useful literary exercise, as a work written in one language is brought into another language. Translation is a matter of continuous sub-conscious interaction with the original, a matter of meditation and mediation. It is an art and is in like manner timeless, persistently reappearing as an inevitable response to stimuli felt by succeeding generations. It is the fact that fresh translations of any work of literary merit are welcome because the existing translation sounds antiquated, or are obsolescent as is the case with the Iliad and the Odyssey, which have been repeatedly translated by many into English. It will definitely lead to a better understanding. Translation enables one to see literature in simultaneity of time and space. However, we come to know that there are fashions in literature and changes in literary taste.
