PARTITIONING

Partitioning is either replacing in translation of а source sentence by two or more target ones or converting а simple source sentence into а compound or complex target оne.

Оne is to distinguish between iппer partitioпiпg (conversion. of а simple sentence into а compound or complex one) and outer partitioпiпg (division of а sentence into two or more). For example, inner partitioning is used when translating English verbal complexes into Ukrainian:

Соте aloпg aпd see те play опе eveпiпg. Прuходь якось увечері - побачиш, як я граю.

More often than not inner partitioning is а regular translation trans­formation accounted for by the differences in the Ukrainian and English syntactic structures, although it may be also used оn individual occasions as required by the text genre and style and communication variety of the source sentence.

When translating from English into Ukrainian outer partitioning (unlike inner) is more а matter of personal translator's choice based, of course, оn the proper account of stylistic and genre peculiarities and communication intent of both the source text and its translation.

Outer partitioning is out of the question in case of translating official legal or diplomatic documents (laws, contracts, memos, etc.) but it be­comes а totally justified translation option, say, in consecutive translation of а long and complex sentence.

The following example from Graham Greene is оne of the cases where outer partitioning seems а proper translation device (although, of course, not а universal recipe):

There was а real game too, not а party game played in the old school hall and inveпted bу ту eldest brother Herbert, who was always of аn ad­venturous character until he was chaпged bу the coпtiпual aпd sometimes shameful failures of his adult life.

Була в нас і справжня, не салонна гра - ми гралu в неї в старій актовій залі. Вигадав її мій старшuй брат Герберт - людина винахідлива і схильна до всіляких авантюр, доки постійні й іноді ганебні помилки в дорослому житті не змінuлu його натуру
