CHAPTER IV SPECIAL AIDS In this chapter are listed several groups of special aids which may lead the student to shortcuts in working out his translation. 1. Standardized expressions. In translating Spanish historical docvunents there are a num'ber of words, phrases, and expressions which occur so frequently that it is desirable to establish a standard way of translating them. For instance, if the translator encounters the words dicho . susodicho , citado, referido , and mencionado in a document, about half way down the page he may find that he has translated them all with the same English word ("said," for example). On the other hand, he may discover that the first time he came to the word su so dicho he translated it as "said" the next time as "aforesaid" or "above-mentioned," and so on. Hence it is desirable to work out some system whereby the translator may endeavor to standardize his work and at the same time not dilute the language of the Spanish author. The most common of these stock words, phrases, and expressions have been listed below, with a suggested standardized translation for each. The reader will note that in many cases the same form of the word has been retained in English. This is because usage has brought these terms into English dictionaries, and consequently there is no need for the student to attempt a periphrastic translation when the word is already defined for him in English. By using these terms the translator can accomplish a great deal toward retaining the flavor of the original. It is to be understood, of course, that these terms need not necessarily be restricted to the one word or phrase given, for the same Spanish expression may have a variety of meanings, depending upon what the context calls for, but the subjoined lists may be helpful under ordinary conditions. Furthermore, the reader should bear in mind the facts that these lists are merely suggestive, that they are not all-inclusive, and that they may and should be greatly expanded. -36-
