FIRENZE - C’è chi dice che gli italiani con la lingua inglese abbiano qualche difficoltà, ma mai ci si aspetterebbe che a fare un leggendario scivolone linguistico sia addirittura l'Università. La facoltà fiorentina di Scienze Agrarie ha pubblicato un bando per un assegno di ricerca dal titolo «Dalla pecora al pecorino. Tracciabilità e rintracciabilità di filiera nel settore lattiero caseario toscano».</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Georgia, Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">LA TRADUZIONE IN INGLESE -</span> Il bando è stato ripubblicato sul sito del Ministero dell’Università, con tanto di traduzione in inglese. Ma, complice forse un qualche sconveniente traduttore automatico online e, senz’altro, anche una certa idiosincrasia verso le lingue straniere, il compilatore del bando ha pubblicato un titolo inglese dai risvolti tragicomici: «From sheep to Doggy Style», un’espressione, dall’involontario quanto spassoso richiamo sessuale, che in italiano suona esattamente come: «Dalla pecora alla pecorina». La figuraccia ha poi assunto contorni addirittura internazionali, quando a Bruxelles, senza batter ciglio, qualche zelante estensore ha ripubblicato il bando anche sul sito della Commissione Europea.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Georgia, Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">LA CORREZIONE DEGLI ERRORI -</span> E dopo il clamore suscitato dalla notizia, giovedì mattina, il Miur corregge lo scivolone: la traduzione in inglese diventa: «From sheep to Pecorino traceability of milk chain in Tuscany», <a href="http://bandi.miur.it/bandi.php/public/fellowship/id_fellow/8503" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target=""><u>anche se qualche traccia online dell'errore resta ancora. </u></a>Mentre sul sito della Commissione europea sparisce proprio il link al bando.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">El título original de este largometraje es </span></span><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her</b></span><b>.</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> Aquí la mala traducción ya no es una de esas decisiones absurdas de los ejecutivos de las distribuidoras, sino una demostración clarísima de que quien la hizo no sabe inglés. “Things you can tell” significa cosas que notas. Si alguien, por ejemplo, te dice que está cansado, le contestas: “I can tell”, que significa: “se te nota” o “ya lo había notado”. La traducción sería algo así como: “Cosas que se notan sólo con mirarla” o “Cosas que notas/percibes nada más verla”… </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Si estas frases no suenan mucho a título de película, que lo entiendo, se podría buscar otra más adecuada. Pero lo que se utilizó, obviamente no era una frase que sonara bien para dar título a un film, lo que se utilizó era simplemente una traducción mal hecha.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal;">The majority of Scotland's population speak English, a consequence of England's political and cultural domination during 3-400 years. But there are two other - lesser known - languages that have been there far longer, and they are still there. That's Gaelic and Scots.</span>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">In the Gaelic sentence there is not much to be recognised. Gaelic belongs to another family of languages, Celtic, and is very closely related to Irish.</span>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;"><i><br /></i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Danish, Scots and English are different, but alike. All three belong to the same language family - the Germanic. They have lots of vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation in common. In fact, Scots even has many word that are not intelligible for Englishmen, but which are immediately recognisable to Danes, e.g. </span></span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">bearn</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"> (child, Da barn), </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">flit</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"> (move, Da flytte), </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">big</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"> (build, Da bygge) .....</span>

Traduzioni omesse o imprecisioni sono facilmente correggibili con la revisione di un secondo traduttore su tutto il documento e, quanto agli errori grammaticali, se scegliamo sin dall’inizio un traduttore madrelingua, è molto improbabile che questi possano capitare. In quanto committenti che si rivolgono a traduttori professionisti, non è vostro compito mettere a posto il testo di un traduttore. Revisioni, correzione di bozze, coerenza terminologica, controllo qualità sono tutti oneri del professionista o dell’agenzia di traduzioni che ha preso in carico il progetto. Voi potete consigliare, smontare le frasi secondo il vostro stile, ma assolutamente non accollandovi anche il lavoro che spetterebbe al traduttore o al team di traduttori.<o:p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></o:p></span></div>

Pensare e scrivere per un pubblico internazionale: se stiamo redigendo un testo, scrivendo una memoria che sappiamo andrà tradotta, evitiamo- per quanto possibile- i modi di dire e le metafore incomprensibili al pubblico straniero, che sfocerebbero in arrampicature sugli specchi da parte del traduttore e che porterebbero - nella maggior parte dei casi- alla perdita del significato originario senza nessun tornaconto se non quello di aver reso l’enunciato di difficile comprensione. Per quando le serve la traduzione? Per ieri. Chi non ha mai risposto così.

La mayor parte del valor comercial de las empresas no está en el producto en sí, ni tampoco en el capital físico, maquinaria o patrimonio como en la era industrial. Hoy en día, la ventaja competitiva de las empresesas se basa en activos intangibles como puedan ser patentes, derechos de imagen o de autor, conocimientos de los trabajadores, marcas, diseños industriales, reputación, RSE…</div>

Un buon traduttore cerca di rendere il suo scritto chiaro e comprensibile al lettore, preservando integralmente i contenuti dell’originale, ma apportando migliorie al testo che sta redigendo, perché “anche l’originale era fatto male” non è una scusa alla quale ci si può aggrappare nel momento in cui stiamo vendendo il nostro servizio in qualità di professionisti. Nel caso in cui l’originale non permetta di procedere in questa direzione o denoti gravi errori che impedirebbero una corretta traduzione, è a discrezione del traduttore se rifiutare l’incarico oppure instaurare un efficace rapporto di comunicazione con il cliente in modo da ricevere risposte pertinenti riguardanti dubbi o ambiguità che si riscontrano durante il processo di traduzione. Quando leggete un testo tradotto, non vi piacerebbe che dia l’illusoria sensazione di essere l’originale? È anche a questo che, come clienti e fruitori di traduzioni, dovete puntare.

Le tre qualità di un traduttore vanno di pari passo e devono essere tutte presenti simultaneamente.

In ambito legale, ad esempio, la diversità dei sistemi legislativi rende difficile la resa di alcuni concetti poiché un particolare sistema legislativo può non avere corrispondenti in altri sistemi. Molto spesso accade che un concetto particolare può esistere in due sistemi differenti e riferirsi a realtà completamente distinte.

Possiamo avere un’altissima padronanza della nostra lingua materna, ma se non capiamo cosa vuole dire l’originale, siamo punto a capo. L’obiettivo finale sono la comprensione del lettore e la trasmissione corretta del messaggio originale. Se il madrelingua possiede tutti i requisiti di cui sopra, allora è la scelta perfetta per il nostro lavoro di prima qualità. Ma se il madrelingua è carente di uno dei 3 requisiti che fanno di un traduttore un professionista, forse è meglio una traduzione di un non madrelingua (ovviamente con un alto livello di quella lingua straniera) che, almeno così, riuscirebbe a comunicare il messaggio dell’originale.<o:p style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></o:p></span></div>

Santarelli quando afferma che le traduzioni date ad un traduttore esterno devono essere rilette. La nostra boutique di traduzioni ha voluto ovviare a questa necessità sin da subito, facendo svolgere le traduzioni in campo legale direttamente da avvocati. Ci capita spesso di avere a che fare con contratti EPC del campo fotovoltaico. In questo caso, gli esperti che mettiamo “in gioco” sono due: un avvocato per la parte legale ed un ingegnere in campo fotovoltaico per le parti tecniche, in più, ovviamente, un revisore esterno. Arrivando così a tre, il numero perfetto. Di primo acchito, le agenzie di traduzione possono apparire più costose, ma la ragione va ricercata nelle prestazioni aggiuntive che offrono al cliente (ricerca dello specialista più idoneo al tipo di lavoro in concreto, gestione del progetto, controllo della qualità, DTP, etc. ) che aiutano a risparmiare tempo e denaro.<o:p style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></o:p></span></div>

likes to read a sentence that’s two pages long. And yet, lengthy,
information-packed sentences choke many prospectuses today. To complicate
matters further, these sentences are filled with jargon and legalese. The
longer and more complex a sentence, the harder it is for readers to understand
any single portion of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

provide information to you about our notes in three separate documents that

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 15.75pt;">Information-packed sentences leave most investors scratching their heads.
So many of these sentences have become “boilerplate” that writers cut and paste
them into new documents without thinking about how they can be improved. Since
these sentences can be a little intimidating, we thought we’d tackle another
one:</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.05pt;"><span style="line-height: 10.9pt;"><br /></span></span></b><br />

The
Drake Capital Corporation (the “Company”) may offer from time to time its
Global Medium-Term Notes, Series A, Due from 9 months to 60 Years From Date of
Issue, which are issuable in one or more series (the “Notes”), in the United
States in an aggregate principal amount of up to U.S. $6,428,598,500, or the
equivalent thereof in other currencies, including composite currencies such as
the European Currency Unit (the “ECU”) (provided that, with respect to Original
Issue Discount Notes (as defined under “Description of Notes—Original Issue

calculating the aggregate principal amount of Notes offered hereunder).<br />

Drake Capital Corporation may offer at various times up to U.S. $6,428,598,500
worth of Global Medium-term notes. These notes will mature from 9 months to 60
years after the date they are purchased. We will offer these notes in series,
starting with Series A, and in U.S., foreign, and composite currencies, like
the European Currency Unit. If we offer original issue discount notes, we will
use their initial offering prices to calculate when we reach $6,428,598,500. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.3pt;">As you
can see, one long sentence became four shorter sentences. The paragraph moves
from the general to the specific, contains short, common words, and is written
in the active voice.

Instead, use short, common words
to get your points across. In those instances where there is no plain English
alternative, explain what the term means when you first use it.</span><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: 0.2pt;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 15.25pt;">If you
have been in the financial or legal industry for awhile, it may be hard to spot
jargon and legalese in your writing. Consider asking someone outside the
industry to check your work for incomprehensible words.</span><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 15.95pt;">Last,
don’t create new jargon that’s unique to your document in the form of acronyms
or other words. It’s asking too much of your readers to memorize a new
vocabulary while they are trying to understand complicated concepts. This holds
true for individual and institutional investors. Note the following, which is
the first sentence on the cover page of an exchange offer:</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />This sentence suffers from
many shortcomings. It’s long and laden with defined terms and other data that
mask the fundamental information: the two companies are offering to exchange
their stock for the investors’ limited partnership holdings. Some of the
information, such as par value and places of incorporation, can be moved to
another part of the document. Much of the language modifies the subjects and
the objects: this language, too, can be moved to a separate sentence or another
section of the prospectus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.5pt;">This
example shows the hazards of creating unfamiliar acronyms. They provide false
economies, especially when they are introduced on the cover page and in the
first pages of the prospectus. They may save a few words, but they may also
frustrate and force the reader to take more time and effort to understand the
document. Where acronyms, such as REIT, are widely understood to the investing
public, they can safely be used without creating confusion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 16pt;">Occasionally,
it’s necessary to assign a shorter word to a long proper noun and use this word
throughout the rest of the document. In these rare instances, try to choose a
word that has an intuitive, logical relationship to the one it’s replacing.
This reduces the number of new words or phrases the reader needs to memorize to
understand the document.</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 13.6pt;"><b>Choose the simpler synonym</b></span></span></div>

simple sentences enhance the effectiveness of short, common words. We’ve
covered a number of guidelines for writing shorter sentences, but there are a
few more you can use to streamline your writing further.</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 15.8pt;"><br />To be
clear, sentences must have a sound structure. Here are a few ways to ensure
yours do.</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 16pt;"><br />The natural word order of
English speakers is </span><i style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 16pt;">subject-verb-object. </i><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 16pt;">Your sentences will be clearer
if you follow this order as closely as possible. In disclosure documents, this
order is frequently interrupted by modifiers. For example:</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><span lang="EN-US" style="letter-spacing: 0.05pt;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;"><b><span style="line-height: 10.9pt;">before</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></b></span></span><b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 15.05pt;">Holders </span></span></b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 15.05pt;">of the Class A and Class B-1 certificates </span><b style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 15.05pt;">will

abound in the financial industry. What pictures form in your mind when you read
these phrases: mutual fund, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, zero coupon bond,
call option, or foreign currency trading? Most people don’t have an image in
their minds when they hear abstract words like these. And yet, it’s far easier
to comprehend a concept or a situation when your mind can form images.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 15.8pt;"><br />In a
study conducted at Carnegie-Mellon University, a cognitive psychologist and an
English professor discovered that readers faced with complex written
information frequently resorted to creating “scenarios” in an effort to
understand the text. That is, they often made an abstract concept
understandable by using it in a hypothetical situation in which </span><i style="line-height: 15.8pt;"><span lang="EN-US">people performed actions.</span></i><span style="line-height: 15.8pt;">You
can make complex information more understandable by giving your readers an
example using one investor. This technique explains why “question and answer”
formats often succeed when a narrative, abstract discussion fails.</span><span style="line-height: 15.8pt;">Here
is an example of how this principle can be used to explain an abstract
concept—call options:</span><span style="line-height: 1px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="line-height: 14.65pt;">For example, you can buy an option from Mr. Smith that gives you the
right to buy 100 shares of stock X from him at $25.00 per share anytime
between now and six weeks from now. You believe stock X’s purchase price will
go up between now and then. He believes it will stay the same or go down. If
you exercise this option before it expires, Mr. Smith must sell you 100
shares of stock X at $25.00 per share, even if the purchase price has gone
up. Either way, whether you exercise your option or not, he keeps the money
you paid him for the option. </span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 15.8pt;">Although

We thought it would be helpful to list the most common problems we’ve encountered with disclosure documents.<br />
Common problems:<br />
<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Long sentences<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Passive voice<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Weak verbs<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Superfluous words<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Legal and financial jargon<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Numerous defined terms<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Abstract words<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Unnecessary details<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Unreadable design and layout<br />
<br />
In the following pages we offer some ways to fix these problems.<br />
<br />
<br />
For example, here’s a common sentence found in prospectuses:<br />
<br />
NO PERSON HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINED OR INCORPORATED BY REFER¬ENCE IN THIS JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, AND, IF GIVEN OR MADE, SUCH INFORMATION OR REPRE¬SENTATION MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED.<br />
<br />
Here’s one possible plain English rewrite:<br />
<br />
You should rely only on the information contained in this document or that we have referred you to. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different.<br />
<br />
The plain English rewrite uses everyday words, short sentences, active voice, regular print, and personal pronouns that speak directly to the reader.<br />
<br />
<b>Use the active voice with strong verbs</b><br />
<br />
The plodding verbosity of most disclosure documents makes readers yearn for clear words and short sentences. The quickest fix lies in using the active voice with strong verbs. Strong verbs are guaranteed to liven up and tighten any sentence, virtually causing information to spring from the page. When you start to rewrite or edit your work, highlighting all the verbs can help. You may be surprised by the number of weak verbs, especially forms of “to be” or “to have” that you’ll find.<br />
The time you spend searching for a precise and strong verb is time well spent. When a verb carries more meaning, you can dispense with many of the words used to bolster weak verbs.<br />
Weak verbs keep frequent company with two more grammatical undesirables: passive voice and hidden verbs. In tandem, they add unnecessary length and confusion to a sentence.<br />
<br />
<b>The active and passive voices</b><br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>Don’t ban the passive voice, use it sparingly</b><br />
<br />
As with all the advice in this handbook, we are presenting guidelines, not hard and fast rules you must always follow. The passive voice may make sense when the person or thing performing the action is of secondary importance to another subject that should play the starring role in sentence. Use the passive voice only when you have a very good reason for doing so. When in doubt, choose the active voice.<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>Find hidden verbs</b><br />
Does the sentence use any form of the verbs “to be,” “to have,” or another weak verb, with a noun that could be turned into a strong verb? In these sentences, the strong verb lies hidden in a nominalization, a noun derived from a verb that usually ends in -tion. Find the noun and try to make it the main verb of the sentence. As you change nouns to verbs, your writing becomes more vigorous and less abstract.<br />
<br />
<b>before<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> </b><b>after</b><br />
We made an application...<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We applied...<br />

<b>after</b><br />
We will not own the company’s stock.<br />
<br />

There is the possibility of prior Board approval of these investments.<br />
<b>after</b><br />
The Board might approve these investments in advance.<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><img src="http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy286/newgradlife/resumewriting11-1.jpg" style="float: right; height: 120px; width: 170px;" title="resumes" />Resume writing myths you may have heard, but
should forget!</span></h1>
There is no one best
way to write a resume; there are no absolutes. Every career counselor and
recruiter has his or her own take on resume writing. Even the formatting you use
and the positions you list depend on the industry, the specific job, and your
experience. But amid all the potentially conflicting opinions, there is some
agreement on common resume myths.<br /><br /><b>1. Your resume must be only one
page.</b><br /><br />False. "Your resume should be as long as needed [in order] to
get your concise message across with zip and punch," says Joyce Lain Kennedy,
careers columnist and author of Resumes for Dummies. If your experience and
background justifies two or more pages, so be it. Recent grads shouldn't go
beyond one page, but senior executives with decades of experience will probably
need at least two pages.<br /><br />The rules are slightly different for resumes
sent via e-mail. Laura Dominguez Chan, a Stanford University career counselor,
says that in that instance, shorter is better for both cover letters and
resumes.<br /><br /><b>2. Prospective employers don't read cover
letters.</b><br /><br />False. "Remember that anything you send is part of an image
you're projecting," says Dominguez Chan. "If [nothing else,] your cover letter
shows your writing skills…and if all the candidates [for the position] really
are top notch, it could be the cover letter that lands you the
job."<br /><br /><b>3. Resumes should include and describe your entire work
history.</b><br /><br />False. Your resume is a sales piece, a personal marketing
tool. Take time to consider what skills the position requires. It’s likely that
a part-time job you took for a few months isn't going to be relevant or
impressive. Unless you need to cover a significant time gap, it’s wise to
include only those jobs that will showcase your ability to excel in the position
for which you’re applying.<br /><br />Volunteer and other non-paid positions can be
just as valuable as paid ones—especially if you’re a recent grad or are
re-entering the workforce after an absence. Use your resume format to
communicate volunteer work as experience.<br />
<br />
<strong>4. It's okay to fib on your resume.<br /></strong>False. If you think "blowing
smoke on your resume—inflating grades, inventing degrees, concocting job
titles—is risk free because nobody checks, you're wrong," says Joyce Lain
Kennedy. Employers do check, and those fibs will catch up with
you.<br /><br />"People think they have to puff themselves up," says Ronnie Gravitz,
a career counselor at UC Berkeley. "You just need to make a good case for what
you have done.”<br /><br /><b>5. Including "References available upon request" is
standard resume protocol.</b><br /><br />False. "An employer won't assume [that] you
don't have references," says Dominguez Chan. “[Removing the line] gives you more
room to include important information about who you are." She adds, "The only
reason to include that [information] is if for some reason references are
absolutely needed in the field. Academic positions, for example, typically ask
for several reference names and/or letters."<br /><br /><b>6. If your resume is good
enough, it will produce a job offer.</b><br /><br />False. Your resume is only one
part of the process. Its job is to land you an interview. "Once you get the
interview, says Joyce Lain Kennedy, "you are what gets you a job—your skills,
your savvy, your personality, your attitude."<br />Bibielle Global Translations, S.L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01968477453840456633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389066192912061755.post-45477944812259846862011-12-06T17:08:00.001+01:002011-12-06T17:09:31.569+01:00I had it professionally translated.......<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Words are used to advocate, inform, persuade and instruct. Although mastering legal writing skills takes time and practice, superior writing skills are essential to success. Polish your legal writing skills through the simple tips below. </div><div></div><div class="lsItm"><h2>1. Remember Your Audience </h2>Every word you write should be tailored to the needs of the reader. Documents that embody the same research and message may vary greatly in content and tone based on the document’s intended audience. For example, a brief submitted to the court must advocate and persuade. A memorandum to a client must analyze the issues, report the state of the law and recommend an appropriate course of action. Always keep your audience in mind when crafting any piece of writing.</div><script>
zSB(3,3)

<div class="lsItm"><h2>2. Organize Your Writing</h2>Organization is the key to successful legal writing. Create a roadmap for your writing by using visual clues to guide the reader. Introduce your subject in an introductory paragraph, use transitional phrases (“moreover, “furthermore,” “however,” “in addition,” etc.) between each paragraph, introduce each paragraph with a topic sentence and use headings and subheadings to break up blocks of text. Limit each paragraph to one topic and sum up your message with a concluding sentence or paragraph. Organizational structure guides the reader through your text and promotes readability.</div><div class="lsItm"><h2>3. Ditch The Legalese </h2>Legalese - specialized legal phrases and jargon - can make your writing abstract, stilted and archaic. <span style="color: black;">Examples of legalese</span> include words such as aforementioned, herewith, heretofore and wherein. Ditch unnecessary legalese and other jargon in favor of the clear and simple. To avoid legalese and promote clarity, try reading your sentence to a colleague or substituting abstract words with simple, concrete terms. For example, instead of “I am in receipt of your correspondence,” “I received your letter” is clearer and more succinct.</div><div class="lsItm"><h2>4. Be Concise</h2>Every word you write should contribute to your message. Omit extraneous words, shorten complex sentences, eliminate redundancies and keep it simple. <br />
Consider the following sentence: <br />
“Due to the fact that the defendant has not attempted to pay back the money owed to our client in the amount of $3,000 it has become absolutely essential that we take appropriate legal action in order to obtain payment of the aforesaid amount.”<br />
A more concise version reads: “Since the defendant has not paid the $3,000 owed our client, we will file a lawsuit seeking reimbursement.” The latter sentence conveys the same information in 18 words versus 44. Omitting unnecessary words helps clarify the meaning of the sentence and adds impact. </div><div class="lsItm"><h2>5. Use Action Words</h2>Action words make your legal prose more powerful, dynamic and vivid. Add punch to your writing with verbs that bring your prose to life. Here are a few examples:<br />
<b>Weak:</b> The defendant was not truthful. <b>Better:</b> The defendant lied.<br />
<b>Weak:</b> The witness quickly came into the courtroom. <b>Better:</b> The witness bolted into the courtroom.<br />
<b>Weak:</b> The judge was very angry. <b>Better:</b> The judge was enraged. </div><div class="lsItm"><h2>6. Avoid Passive Voice</h2>Passive voice disguises responsibility for an act by eliminating the subject of the verb. Active voice, on the other hand, tells the reader who is doing the acting and clarifies your message. For example, instead of “the filing deadline was missed,” say “plaintiff’s counsel missed the filing deadline.” Instead of “a crime was committed,” say “the defendant committed the crime.” </div><div class="lsItm"><h2>7. Edit Ruthlessly </h2>Edit your writing ruthlessly, omitting unnecessary words and rewriting for clarity. Careful proofreading is particularly important in legal writing. Spelling, punctuation or grammatical errors in a document submitted to the court, opposing counsel or a client can undermine your credibility as a legal professional.<br />
