"Hoffman had to translate a Ukrainian particularity into an American one. This task shows the power at the core of the art of translation."

"History appears to happen in these . . . domestic places and often has to do with small and domestic feelings such as everyday anger."

My father just informed me that "two big differences" is a very common #Odesa expression. I didn't know that. I assume @singleton_ian knew that. Now you know it, too.

Это история о переключении кодов. Переключение кодов — это термин из языкознания, означающий один из этапов изучения нового языка: в родной, исходный язык, все чаще вставляются междометия и идиомы из языка изучаемого.

The prisoner was a twenty-six-year-old guy from central Russia. It was cold and he was wearing summer pants, a ratty old Soviet helmet, a civilian jacket that he stole somewhere here, and good quality body armor. He had only two bandages and a tourniquet in his first-aid kit1/4
