Decide

which

of

the

choices

given

below

would

best

complete

the

passage if inserted in the corresponding blanks. Mark the best choice for

each blank on your answer sheet.

The translator must have an excellent, up-to-date knowledge of his

source

languages,

full

facility

in

the

handling

of

his

target

language,

which

will

be

his

mother

tongue

or

language

of

habitual

(

26

)and

a

knowledge and understanding of the latest subject-matter in his field of

specialization.

This

is,

as

it

were,

his

professional

equipment.(

27

)this,

it

is

desirable

that

he

should

have

an

inquiring

mind,wide

interests,

a

good

memory

and

the

ability

to

grasp

quickly

the

basic

principles

of

new

developments. He should be willing to work ( 28 )is own, often at high

speeds,

but

should

be

humble

enough

to

consult

others

(

29

)his

own

knowledge not always prove adequate to the task in hand. He should be

able to type fairly quickly and accurately and, if he is working mainly for

publication,

should

have

more

than

a

nodding

(

30

)with

printing

techniques and proof-reading. If he is working basically as an information

translator, let us say, for an industrial firm, he should have the flexibility

of

mind

to

enable

him

to

(

31

)rapidly

from

one

source

language

to

another, as well as from one subject- matter to another,since this ability is

frequently ( 32 )of him in such work. Bearing in mind the nature of the

translator

’

s

work,i.e.

the

processing

of

the

written

word,

it

is,

strictly

speaking, ( 33 )that he should be able to speak thelanguage he is dealing

with. If he does speak them, it is an advantage ( 34 )a hindrance, but this

skill is in many ways a luxury that he can ( 35 )with. It is, ( 36 ),desirable

that he should have an approximate idea about the pronunciation of his

source languages even if this is restricted to ( 37 )how proper names and

place

names

are

pronounced.

The

same

(

38

)to

an

ability

to

write

his

source languages. If he can, well and good; if he cannot, it does not ( 39 ).
