Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 20 AIL 1918 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Reading a Translated Play
Captions available
The idea
Use unit fourteen's procedure unchanged: read the directions, establish who can hear, name the device, read the speech as an argument. Then add one question: does anything in this English sound like a translator's choice rather than a character's voice.
In practice
The usual four, plus one.
Where people slip
Listen for the translator.
