自分が通訳するときよりドキドキ　
内容は人間として通訳に挑むことが重要であり、感動などを伝えるのは人間しかない。これからの #LenguasVivas 通訳技術課程への示唆としては聴衆の背景を重視し、さらに演劇要素を取り入れるべきではということで相変わらずのMatthew Perret先生👏👏👏

@thedrift_mag @nazhongwriting Really interesting piece! Couldn't help wondering if "translation style" isn't an example of "translation style" ("style" not as literary attribute or skill; rather "translationese" 😉) I love the Lu Xun. Javier Marías had similar thoughts https://t.co/40yAafrd9A

I’m pretending America doesn’t exist for a few days. Any talk of “momentous political events stateside” is, of course, a reference to Germany. Germany has States.

EXCLUSIVE sneak preview of new film by Adam Curtish! https://t.co/gMRSA5Fzo9 via @YouTube

Netflix is plugging me a "murder mystery in the Australian Alps". Presumably part of the mystery is how, when you're hiking from Krajnska Gora to the Laghi di Fusine via Arnoldstein on a perfectly clear day, if you take a wrong turn you can find yourself in Yarrangobilly.

Another excellent blog from @chrisgreybrexit. Long may it continue! Its references are always helpful and thoughtful, with astute analysis, especially of UK.

Britain's Brexitism test. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. The tone of UK-EU relations is improving, but any 'reset' will be limited unless & until Brexitism is marginalized, and YMS, ECHR, and Gibraltar provide some tests of that: https://t.co/9WkV5f8Ce8

What’s happening? Everyone can reply.

Having so much fun learning one language, in another I accidentally buy a novel on relay.

Every day, I think “There can’t be another pun worse than that.” I love Belgium.

@shedworking That’s what Diddy used to say before playing a terrible song.

[Matthew Perret @MattPerret]

Here’s my Diddy story. My Mum used to listen to David Hamilton on Radio 2 when I was growing up. That’s it.

@driverbod125 I think stops in Germany are open for international reservations (i.e. travel to Dečin and beyond)

[Matthew Perret @MattPerret]

@driverbod125 It could be a stock move- the composition on their website shows 9 carriages in use
