Source text - English The unexpected benefits of getting lost in translation
About 20 per cent of the United States population (60 million out of 300 million people) are non-native speakers of English. Speaking multiple languages has advantages – for example, you get to talk to people from different cultures. But being a non-native or second-language (L2) speaker also has its challenges. In addition to often feeling self-conscious about their accents, L2 speakers can be viewed by native speakers as less intelligent, and less trustworthy.
Thus it might come as a surprise that, in 1980, Henry Kissinger (the former US secretary of state and a non-native English speaker, originally from Germany) told Arianna Huffington (the Greek immigrant and entrepreneur/writer who would eventually start The Huffington Post) not to worry about [her] accent, ‘because you can never, in American public life, underestimate the advantages of complete and total incomprehensibility’.
Suppose you are at a cocktail party, and your conversation partner – someone with power in your field – wants to know your view about a potentially scandalous issue at your company. You don’t want to divulge what you know, but want the power player on your side. By speaking with a strong accent and using ungrammatical syntax, you can lead your listener to think that you are supporting a political view while discouraging them from pressing you for more information, because people generally avoid asking a lot of questions of someone whose utterances are difficult to understand. If there is confusion over what you had meant, you can later say you meant to convey something else!
Translation - Russian Запутались с переводом? Вы удивитесь, но из этого тоже можно извлечь пользу.
Приблизительно 20 % населения Соединенных Штатов (60 млн человек из 300) не являются носителями английского языка. Владение несколькими иностранными языками дает различные преимущества, среди которых — возможность общаться с представителями разных культур. Однако, неносители языка, то есть люди говорящие на неродном языке, сталкиваются с определенными трудностями. Они часто стесняются своего акцента, при этом в глазах носителей языка они могут выглядеть менее умными и внушающими меньше доверия.
Может показаться удивительным, но в 1980 г. Генри Киссинджер (бывший государственный секретарь США, выходец из Германии, для которого английский язык не был родным) однажды посоветовал Арианне Хаффингтон (эмигрантке из Греции, медиаменеджеру и писателю, будущей соосновательнице и редактору американского интернет-издания "Хаффингтон Пост" (The Huffington Post) не беспокоиться относительно ее акцента, «потому что в американском обществе нельзя недооценивать тех преимуществ, которые дает умение говорить непонятно».
Представьте, что на вечеринке вы разговариваете с влиятельным в вашей сфере деятельности человеком, который интересуется тем, что вы думаете о потенциально скандальной ситуации в вашей компании. Вы не хотите рассказывать, что вы знаете, но при этом хотите привлечь влиятельного игрока на свою сторону и, уже зная, что обычно люди стараются не задавать много вопросов собеседнику, речь которого трудна для понимания, вы говорите с сильным акцентом, да еще и с синтаксическими ошибками, что может натолкнуть слушателя на мысль о том, что вы разделяете ту или иную политическую точку зрения, но одновременно даете понять, что из вас не стоит вытягивать больше того, что вы уже рассказали. И если возникает путаница относительно того, что вы имели в виду, позже вы всегда можете сказать, что имели в виду нечто другое!
