Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 20 AIL 1944 short lesson, about 20 seconds
A Procedure for a Translated Passage
Captions available
The idea
Ask whether the passage is a translation, which a headnote usually says. If it is, ask which of the three decisions the translator appears to have made. Then read the English as English, because the English is what the questions are about.
In practice
Identify, classify, then read.
Where people slip
The English is what is asked about.
