The Translation Problem
Captions available
The idea
Three of this band's four principal sources reach an English reader through a translator or a modernising editor. What you read was shaped by someone other than the author, and the exam will print one particular version. That is the band's central difficulty.
In practice
Someone stands between you and the author.
Where people slip
The exam prints one version.
