LOST IN TRANSLATION: AN ILLUSTRATED COMPENDIUM OF UNTRANSLATABLE WORDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD(OLD TITLE: THERE’S A WORD FOR THAT)

Book ID/图书代码： 06840013B64992

English Summary/英文概要： There’s a Word for That is a collection of 50 artistic renderings of words that are untranslatable into English, with a short introduction by the artist.

Each ink illustration is based on one such word and includes the original word, the language it’s from, and a definition. The words and definitions are beautiful (such as “komorebi” which is the Japanese word that describes sunlight that filters through the leaves of trees) and funny (like the Hawaiian “pana po’o” which describes the act of scratching your head in order to remember something you’ve forgotten). The beautiful, simple illustrations bring the words to life.

There’s a Word for That was inspired by the overwhelming international response to an original post by the author on Maptia.com (http://goo.gl/Jvw1Cs). Having been picked up by hundreds of other sites, the post has now been viewed over 1.5 million times, and continues to circulate, generating enthusiastic comments from readers.

《世界上奇妙的词语》是风靡社交网络的英国插画师埃拉·弗朗西丝·桑德斯的图文集，收录了52幅暖萌绘画，用画笔“翻译”来自世界各地的52个“无法翻译”的奇妙词语。

在盛产香蕉的马来西亚，人们用“pisan zapra”形容吃完一根香蕉所需要的时间；在嗜好咖啡的瑞典，字典里不但有第一杯咖啡“tår”，续一杯杯咖啡“palår”，还有再续一杯咖啡“tretår”；在古老神秘的波斯帝国，“tiám”指的是初遇某人时你眼里闪烁的光芒……

埃拉·弗朗西丝·桑德斯用这本书延展了语言的神奇魔力，让你在字词间感受世界各地的独特文化，以及人与人之间息息相通的每一个诗意瞬间。(DB)
