Hayashi was Coppola’s introduction to the scene in Japan in the 1990s, she tells me: “He was important, as he first hired me to take photographs and cared about my point of view, which gave me the confidence to make my first film, and he showed me an exciting world in Tokyo. He had culture and taste and appreciated my eye.” It’s worth remembering that all this followed the spectacular fallout from Coppola’s lambasted performance as Mary Corleone in the final instalment of her father’s Godfather trilogy. Far from Hollywood, Japan was a place where she could reinvent herself. The details make me want to hang on to the film.

Lost in Translation (novel) - Wikipedia

C’è una parola che ben descrive l’inizio della mia giornata, che incomincia ad ingranare solo dopo la terza tazzina di caffè, TRETÅR (Svedese): “Tår” è un caffè, “patår” il bis; con “tretår” s’intende un secondo bis, vale a dire un “tris di caffè”. Luftmensch (Yiddish)... refers to someone who is a bit of a dreamer and literally means 'air person'. Or: your head is in the clouds and you are not coming down anytime soon! Ya'Aburnee — Arabic n. Meaning "you bury me", a beautifully morbid declaration of one's hope that they will die before another person, as it would be too difficult living without them. Lost in Translation: An Illustrated Catalog of Beautiful Untranslatable Words from Around the World – The Marginalian The words that were showcased were interesting, some of them had rather beautiful and poignant meanings behind them, other words were a tad bonkers (like the word for how long it took to eat a banana, I kind of loved it though).Stuart Gilbert, a British scholar and a friend of James Joyce, was the first person to attempt Camus’s “L’Étranger” in English. In 1946, Gilbert translated the book’s title as “The Outsider” and rendered the first line as “Mother died today.” Simple, succinct, and incorrect. For everything that might get lost in the subtleties of meaning and untranslatability of words, we cannot deny that what we gain from translated books is so much more. Translated texts carry across insights from another language, another culture and another way of seeing.

Un’altra ancora per esprimere qualcosa che io faccio forse troppo spesso, BOKETTO (Giapponese): ”Lasciar vagare lo sguardo in lontananza, senza pensare a niente”.

By John Klein and Adam Spears – In this volume the authors explore the second half of Revelation from the perspective of a Hebrew God speaking through a Hebrew believer to an audience that was intimately familiar with the Hebrew language, culture, customs, and concepts that form both the literal and metaphorical foundation for vast portions of Revelation. In the process they answer a multitude of important questions, including... DJ: I'd like to take that and lay it down with like a hip-hop beat like boom-tish boom-tish know what I mean? Commercial Director: [ in Japanese] Mr. Bob-san, you are relaxing in your study. On the table is a bottle of Suntory whiskey. Got it? Look slowly, with feeling, at the camera, and say it gently - say it as if you were speaking to an old friend. Just like Bogie in Casablanca, "Here's looking at you, kid" - Suntory time. Nicole Mones takes you on an enthralling, sensuous journey through China that leads deep into the hidden chambers of the human heart."

Tsundoku — Japamese n. Leaving a book unread after being it, typically piled up together with other unread books. Do you have a little lamb in your life? Then you will want to share how the Great Shepherd cares for every lamb.It's a bit like products from Apple: a whole load of words that you didn't know you needed until someone told you they exist. Some of them are funny, some of them are thought-provoking. Some of them are beautiful. All of them are fascinating. Voici un livre illustré très esthétique de mots intraduisibles en anglais. Chaque mot est expliqué et décrit avec de très jolies illustrations. Certains mots sont vraiment très poétiques dont ceux-ci sont mes préférés : La più famosa è SAUDADE (Portoghese): ”Desiderio vago, ma persistente di qualcosa che non c’è e probabilmente non esiste; nostalgia di qualcuno o qualcosa che si è amato e poi perduto”. but there are plenty of others that so perfectly capture universal human experiences, it's a shame that there's no english (for example) equivalent that also encapsulates the situation in a single word:

Lost in Translation by Ella Frances Sanders | Goodreads

Book Genre: Autobiography, Biography, Biography Memoir, Canada, Cultural, History, Humanities, Jewish, Language, Literature, Memoir, Nonfiction, Poland When her parents brought her from the war-ravaged, faded elegance of her native Cracow in 1959 to settle in well-manicured, suburban Vancouver, Eva Hoffman was thirteen years old. Entering into adolescence, she endured the painful pull of nostalgia and struggled to express herself in a strange unyielding new language. i enjoyed the artwork accompanying each word/definition, in some cases, actually preferring the illustration to the word, because - cats!

In an interview with The New Yorker, Jay Rubin, one of the translators for prolific Japanese author Haruki Murakami, said “When you read Haruki Murakami, you’re reading me, at least ninety-five per cent of the time.” He argues that the English translation of Murakami’s work is, in a sense, a new entity. The words are no longer that of the author’s but rather the translator’s. This is exacerbated by the difficulty of moving between English and Japanese, due to Japanese’s inherent indirectness in contrast with English language’s grammatical insistence on specificity. Should a book that is translated then be considered a new book in and of its own right, separate to the original? This is certainly a controversial and provocative question in the world of translations. Wordplay Waldeninsamkeit: (German noun) The feeling of being alone in the woods, an easy solitude and a connectedness to nature.
