The Chinese Translation Slam is an interactive event in which there will
be a lively and informed exchange between the audience and distinguished
translators Nicky Harman and Anna Holmwood. An extract from Louis Cha’s
wuxia martial arts novel, Legend of the Condor Heroes, as well as two
English translations, will be supplied to the audience, and no knowledge
of the language is required.
The Chair Lyn Marven will lead a participatory debate about the
different translations and the choices each translator has made - giving
the audience a glimpse into the complex processes of translation and the
opportunity to participate in the discussion about the nuances of
English and Chinese.
