Problems of translating poetry 5(b)

The document discusses the challenges of translation between languages. It notes that every expression has its own individual personality, making a perfectly identical translation impossible. A translator must use their own vision while focusing on literary meaning rather than just direct word translations. Common sense and a sharp understanding are needed to decide whether to translate rhymes directly or not. It provides an example translation from Italian into English of a short poem about happiness being a small thing. The document concludes by thanking several professors for feedback on presentations.
