English to Greek: W. H. Murray - The Scottish Himalayan Expedition

Source text - English

Until one is committed
there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation),
there is on elementary truth,
the ignorance of which kills countless ideas
and splendid plans:
that the moment one definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one
that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favour all manner
of unforeseen incidents and meetings
and material assistance,
which no man could have dreamt
would come his way.

I have learned a deep respect
for one of Goethe's couplets:

'Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.'

Translation - Greek
Μέχρι να δεσμευτεί κανείς σ' ένα σκοπό
υπάρχει διστακτικότητα, η πιθανότητα του πισωγυρίσματος
και πάντα αναποτελεσματικότητα.
Σχετικά με κάθε ενέργεια πρωτοβουλίας (και δημιουργίας)
υπάρχει μια βασική αλήθεια,
της οποίας η άγνοια σκοτώνει αμέτρητες ιδέες
και σχέδια θαυμαστά:
ότι τη στιγμή που δεσμεύεται κάποιος σε κάτι
τότε μαζί του κινείται και η Πρόνοια.
Ένα σωρό πράγματα συμβαίνουν προς συνδρομή του
που δε θα είχαν συμβεί διαφορετικά.
Ένας ολόκληρος χείμαρρος γεγονότων εκπηγάζει από αυτή την απόφαση
επιφέροντας κάθε είδους
απρόβλεπτων συμβάντων και συναντήσεων
και υλικής βοήθειας,
που κανείς δε θα ονειρευόταν καν
ότι θα μπορούσε να βρεθεί στο δρόμο του.

Έχω μάθει να έχω βαθύ σεβασμό
σε ένα από τα δίστιχα του Γκαίτε:

"Ό,τι μπορείς να κάνεις ή ονειρεύεσαι να κάνεις, ξεκίνα το.
Η τόλμη κρύβει μέσα της ευφυΐα, δύναμη και μαγεία".

About me

Greek->English translation
Traduzione Italiano-Greco
Traducciσn Espaρol-Griego

The guarantee for the quality of my work is, apart from my experience, the fact that I hold the prestigious (postgraduate) Diploma in Translation from the "Institute of Linguists" and my 6 years of Higher Education in the UK (BA English Studies and MSc Machine Translation).

Web site translation, localization (including website optimization and submission to search engines), editing, proof-reading, creation of client-specific glossaries, multilingual optical character recognition (OCR), OCR post-editing, cultural consultation, Greek dictionaries consultation, web design.

Native Greek speaker who lived and studied for 6 years in England (BA English Studies, MSc Machine Translation & Institute of Linguists Diploma in Translation En-Gr). My web design and development skills are extremely useful when it comes to web site translation or localization (whether in html, asp, php or other scripting language). As far as my skills in search engine optimization it is not by chance that my site has acquired the highest rank in Google (as well as a number of other search engines) for the keywords "Greek Translation". You may also want to check my translation blog and my personal blog.

	X Why did the menu change? The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to. The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability. More information on the changes... Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu? Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
