Journale Lucy Fricke’s Töchter: A Translation Road Trip

JOURNEY'S END

By Sinéad Crowe, Isabelle Liber and María Tellechea


Betty, Martha and Kurt have wound up in Greece, and we translators have come to the end of our translation journey. Before we part ways, though, we’d like to give you a little taste of the results of this journey.

In the following excerpt, Betty, Martha and Kurt are on their way to Switzerland, where Kurt has an appointment in a euthanasia clinic. As you’ll hear, tensions are already running high inside the Volkswagen Golf.

Lucy will read the first part of the excerpt in German. María will then carry on in Spanish, followed by Isabelle (French), who will then pass the baton on to Sinéad (English). We invite you to open a beer from the petrol station, sit back and enjoy listening to Lucy’s figures travelling through our various languages!
