français term
il va par et pour le monde
français vers anglais
Art / Littérature
Poésie et littérature
Car, plus qu’un instrument de communication, la langue est à la fois le baluchon d’émotions et de souvenirs des gens et la marmite bouillonnante de ceux qui la partage. Par nature, le traducteur est à la fois voyageur et boutiquier : il va par et pour le monde dans un travail incessant d’interprétation et de restitution.
