ABSTRACT

This is a more challenging ST than 14.1, and is best done individually at home. Students may be wary of this assignment, because of their ignorance of the field. But if they prepare it properly, translating it as best they can and noting points which require specialist advice, they will fmd the class reassuring: they will realize that after some induction into technical translation it is not so frightening and difficult a subject area as they might imagine. The 'Bacillary dysentery' text in § 1,4.5 provides solutions to a number of the problems found in the ST.
