Již čtvrté vydání dosud nepřekonané práce české teorie překladu, na které vyrůstaly generace překladatelů. Jiří Levý zevrubně popisuje překladatelský proces, zabývá se estetickými problémy překladu a rozebírá i oblasti jako překládání knižního názvu, překlad dramatu a poezie. Vychází z hlubokých znalostí literárněvědných i lingvistických a látku podává velmi srozumitelně. Kniha může posloužit nejen studentům a absolventům translatologie, literárním vědcům a kritikům, ale i zájemcům z řad veřejnosti. Aktuálnost díla dokládá i nedávné anglické vydání v prestižním nakladatelství John Benjamins. Kniha obsahuje novou předmluvu Zuzany Jettmarové, bibliografii a doplněný rejstřík.

Dip in, pick a stick and race to win. For those of us with musical talent and for those who dont! Singing is optional ;-)
Contains 160 song lyrics to complete printed on 80 handy sticks.

How to play:

Pick a stick. Say or sing the first line of the lyric. Your team must then say or sing the next line and can get extra kudos for naming the song and artist. Better still, a team sing song!

How many sticks can your team complete in one minute? The team with the most sticks at the end of the game wins!

Timer is not included but if you want to make the game even more fun, use a watch or mobile phone to count down 60 seconds for every question.


Example:

You say: "She is D, delirious.

Bring the whole family together with these 80 cards to include everyone - grandparents, parents and children!

Examples:

"If we were a family of animals, which animals would we be?"
"Tell everyone one thing they don´t already know about you"
"What is your best family tradition?"
"If you won the lottery, how would it affect your family?"
"What trait runs through your family?"


Kartičky jistě oživí a rozproudí každou rodinnou sešlost, mohou ale skvěle sloužit i jako konverzační tipy při výuce angličtiny!
