Appendix 5 – Micro Strategies by Brix
The following section will show how Brix has also used the other micro strategies as set forth by
Schjoldager.
Direct Transfer
The strategy of direct transfer entails that the translator will take an ST item and transfer it
unchanged to the TT (Schjoldager, 2008: 93). This example will show how this strategy is used in
the translation.
4a: My carry-on item was a parka.
4b: Min håndbagage bestod af en parka.
The translator has chosen to directly transfer the word parka. This English word does exist in the
Danish language, but it is still fairly new, so it might not be widely known. It would have been a
better strategy to translate the word into a corresponding item in Danish: jakke, frakke or
vinterjakke. Either of these alternatives will provide the TT receivers with an idea of the change in
weather conditions from Phoenix to Forks in a better way by use of a better Danish word, which all
Danes understand.
Explicitation
When a translator uses this micro strategy s/he makes implicit ST information explicit in the TT
(Schjoldager, 2008: 99). This strategy is normally used when the ST contains particular cultural
elements or when the author makes presuppositions in the text. A very good example of this
strategy is found in segment 59.
59a: “Well, it’s a truck actually, a Chevy.”
59b: ”Okay, det er faktisk en pickup, en Chevrolet.”
In the ST segment Charlie is referring to a Chevy, which is an American car make. The original
name of the car manufacturer is Chevrolet, as Brix has translated it into. The nickname for the car is
Chevy and every American will know what is referred to1. However, that cannot be taken for
granted in Denmark. Many people will know that a Chevy is a Chevrolet, but not everyone, and
1 There has been a discussion in America whether or not General Motors wanted people to stop calling the car Chevy and instead calling it by its right name, Chevrolet. However, that turned out to be more difficult, as Chevy is so deeply engrained in American culture (thegarageblog,com)
82
especially not teenage girls, who are not known for having much interest in cars. The American
make of cars is also available in Denmark and here we refer to the manufacturer as Chevrolet, thus
this explicitation of what Chevy refers to is very good.
Condensation
To use a condensation micro strategy means that the translator will translate an element in a shorter
way or make explicit information implicit (Schjoldager, 2008: 102). It can seem to be closely
related to the deletion micro strategy, but the condensation strategy does not leave out units of
meaning as such, it simply renders the meaning of the ST element in a shorter way.
126a: The wooden floor, the light blue walls, the peaked ceiling, the yellowed lace
curtains around the window – these were all a part of my childhood.
126b: Trægulvet, de skrå, lyseblå vægge, de gulnede blondegardiner for vinduerne –
det var alt sammen en del af min barndom.
This is a better example of the condensation strategy. Here Bella describes the walls and ceiling of
her room. The peaked ceiling means that the ceiling of her room follows the structure of the roof,
meaning that the ceiling is not flat or level, but that it is inclined. In Danish that is called loft til kip.
When a room has a peaked ceiling in Denmark Danes tend to regard the actual ceiling as part of the
walls, and this could have been the thought behind this translation. The two elements in the ST
segment, the walls and the ceiling, are condensed to being just walls, inclined and light blue.
Adaptation
The adaptation micro strategy will take an ST element and recreate the effect of it in the process of
replacing a cultural reference or element (Schjoldager, 2008: 103). In this book there are not many
cultural references that the TT receivers will not be able to understand. The story is set in an
American setting that many of the TT receivers will have encountered in other books, movies and
series, so at some point they will have been introduced to some of the cultural references and
elements present in the text. A few examples will illustrate how Brix has handled the cultural
elements.
111a: He still lived in the small, two-bedroom house that he’d bought with my
mother in the early days of their marriage.
83
111b: Han boede stadig i det lille treværelses hus, han havde købt sammen med min
mor, kort efter at de blev gift.
This example is a perfect example of adaption in its purest form. When talking about house sizes in
America it is very common define them by how many bedrooms they have. In Denmark we always
talk about how many rooms in general the houses have, not counting kitchens and bathrooms. So
with this translation Brix adapts the American way of counting rooms to the Danish way of
counting rooms, which is very well done. However, she does presuppose that there is only one
living room added to the count, and not two living rooms, which could easily have been the case.
Though, it is stated that the house is small so it is not an unreasonable assumption to make.
121a: I wouldn’t be forced with the choice of either walking two miles in the rain to
school or accepting a ride in the Chief’s cruiser.
121b: Jeg skulle ikke vælge mellem at gå tre kilometer i regnvejr til skole eller tage
imod at blive kørt i politimesterens patruljevogn.
Here is another clear case of adaptation, where Brix has adapted the term miles into the Danish term
of kilometres. The adaption is interesting, because an American mile is not the equivalent of a
Danish kilometre. 1 mile is 1.6 kilometres, so the two miles Bella is talking about is in fact 3.2
kilometres to be precise, which means that Brix has done a correct calculation and a correct
adaptation to a unit of measurement Danes use and understand.
Addition
This strategy will be used if the translator sees the need to add a unit of meaning to the TT. The unit
s/he will add cannot be directly inferred from the ST (Schjoldager, 2008: 105). This strategy has not
been used to a great extent, but the few places it has been used are interesting.
23a: “Tell Charlie I said hi.”
23b: “Hils Charlie,” sagde hun resigneret.
Here the translator has added a unit of meaning that could not have been inferred from the ST. Brix
adds a unit signifying the mood in which Bella’s mother makes this statement. In the previous
segments leading up to this there are no obvious signs that Bella's mother would have said this
statement resignedly. It can be one interpretation of the text that Bella’s mother is sad that her
daughter is leaving and that she has given up hope of convincing Bella to stay, but there is not
84
actual proof to support that interpretation. So this addition is unnecessary and changes the mood of
this particular situation in the book.
Substitution
To use a substitution micro strategy will change the meaning of the ST item in the TT. It will be
obvious that the TT item is a translation of an ST item, but the semantic meaning will have changed
(Schjoldager, 2008: 106). The following examples will illustrate how Brix has used the substitution
strategy.
65a: “He used to go fishing with us during the summer,” Charlie prompted.
65b: ”Han tog os med ud at fiske om sommeren,” uddybede Charlie.
In this example the verb prompted, which has a negative connotation, is substituted by the Danish
verb uddybe. This verb has a calmer connotation and changes the mood of the situation. In the
English segment prompted signals a harder tone, whereas uddybede, meaning elaborated, signals a
more patient and calm response. Prompted could have been translated directly to convey the same
mood in the TT segment, but it was changed, thus the mood changed.
384a: He’s gorgeous, of course, but don’t waste your time.
384b: Han er selvfølgelig rigtig sej, men spild ikke tiden på ham.
A rather curious example of a substitution strategy is found in segment 384. Bella’s new girlfriend
is telling her about Edward, but this does not come across very well in the TT segment. Gorgeous
could have been translated in a number of ways to imitate the way girls interact when it comes to
describing cute boys to each other; lækker, skøn, flot, vidunderlig. Either of these words would have
conveyed the message of Edward Cullen being this gorgeous unattainable boy who is not interested
in any of the girls in town. The Danish word that was used, sej, simply states that he is cool, which
he undoubtedly is, but lacks the connotation that is inherent in the English ST item, gorgeous. A
boy can be cool, but still not gorgeous, so the meaning of the ST item is not conveyed well to the
TT. This translation illustrates that Brix occasionally fails to obtain and convey the teenage girl
“lingo” that is present in and dominates the ST to the TT.
Deletion
85
The deletion micro strategy can be used if there are elements in the ST that simply do not need to be
present in the TT and its context. So the ST element is missing from the TT altogether (Schjoldager,
2008: 108). There can be many reasons for using this strategy and the following examples will
illustrate how the strategy can be used:
5a: In the Olypmic Peninsula of northwest Washington State, a small town called
Forks exists under a near-constant cover of clouds.
5b: I det nordvestlige hjørne af staten Washington ligger en lille by ved navn Forks
under et næsten konstant skydække.
The unit Olympic Peninsula has been deleted altogether from the TT and the sentence does not bear
signs of the missing element. What is important to consider here is the fact of whether or not the
inclusion of the element will have made a difference to the TT receivers. The TT receivers might
not be aware that there is an area in America that is called the Olympic Peninsula and it will
probably not have an effect on them, either way. As long as the TT receivers are informed where in
America the story takes place it does not make any real difference to them what the exact area is
called as they will not be able to connect it to anything other than what is already explained to them
in the story.
468a: And, apparently, that wasn’t Edward Cullen’s usual behaviour.
468b: Og det var åbenbart ikke Edwards normale optræden.
This example also illustrates how the deletion strategy can change the tone and perception of the
situation in the segment. Here, Edward’s last name has been removed in the TT segment. This is not
a big change, but it changes Bella’s tone slightly. In the ST segment Bella refers to Edward by using
his full name and thereby keeping a distance to him and not relating to him in any way. In the TT
segment she refers to him by his first name only, signifying a closer relationship or that she relates
to him on some level still unknown.
86
Appendix 6 – Micro Strategies by Bestle
The following section will show how Bestle also made use of the other micro strategies set forth by
Schjoldager.
Calque
The calque strategy is used to transfer the structure of the ST unit or to make a very close
translation. The following example will show how Bestle has done that:
4a: Gran hadn’t changed much; her face looked just the same as I remembered it.
4b: Bedste havde ikke rigtig forandret sig; hendes ansigt så ud præcist, som jeg
huskede det.
In this case the structure of the ST unit is transferred to the TT unit. It might have been more natural
to change the punctuation in the TT unit instead of using the semicolon, which is not very often
used in Danish. The structure and the use of the semicolon are not wrong, per se, but nowadays it is
more common to simply use either a full stop or a comma (Jacobsen, 2001: 399).
Oblique
Bestle has made good use of the oblique translation strategy. The oblique translation strategy is
used to translate in a sense-for-sense procedure, and it allows the translator to stray from the ST as
long as the sense of the ST unit is conveyed to the TT unit.
52a: Only a dream, but prophetic enough in one way, as least.
52b: Godt nok havde det kun været en drøm, men på en måde også en ret profetisk
drøm.
Here the sense of the ST unit is translated, but not directly. Bestle has strayed a bit from the
structure of the ST unit, making the TT unit more explicit and longer, but the sense of the ST unit is
conveyed perfectly. The TT unit conveys the sense of the ST unit in a natural way in Danish. This
translation example also shows how Bestle has been more creative in the process of transferring the
ST unit to the TT.
138a: I couldn’t really see Edward’s point, to be honest.
138b: Men jeg forstod ham ærlig talt ikke.
87
This example also shows how the sense is conveyed to the TT unit in a natural way. The TT unit is
not a direct translation of the ST unit, but the sense is there. The ST unit could have been translated
directly, but the solution Bestle has chosen is also very good, as it conveys the meaning in a very
natural way.
Explicitation
With an explicitation strategy the translator can make implicit information in the ST unit explicit in
the TT unit. This strategy can be used to explain cultural references that are not known in the TT
culture. In this case Bestle has chosen to explicate the following:
409a: A nice little Audi coupe.
409b: Jeg tror, du ville være helt vild med en lille, fin topersoners Audi.
In this example the word coupe is explicated. The word does exist in Danish, though it is borrowed
from English. It is a type of car, typically a sports car or a sports edition of a “normal” car. This unit
might have been explicated with the TT receivers in mind. The target group is supposed to be
teenage girls, and most of them will not necessarily know what a coupe even is; they don’t speak
Car and Driver (Meyer, 2005: 223). To have this explicated is a good idea to ensure that the TT
receivers will understand what an Audi coupe is; a small two-seater.
Condensation
In Bestle’s translation it has been rather difficult to distinguish the condensation strategy from the
paraphrase strategy. In many cases, where the ST unit is translated in a shorter way in the TT it
seems to be more a paraphrase than a condensation. She has, in more examples, joined two
sentences into one, which would signify that she had condensated the ST unit, but somehow she
also manages to rephrase the units so that it bears more signs of being a product of a paraphrase
strategy. However, in these examples it is clear that Bestle has used the condensation strategy.
26a: But now I wished he could hear me, too, so that he could hear the warning I was
screaming in my head.
26b: Men nu ønskede jeg, han kunne høre den advarsel, jeg skreg til ham i mine
tanker.
88
In this example Bestle has translated the ST unit in a shorter way, but the sense of it is still present.
The condensation in the TT unit is minor, but a unit of meaning is still left out. The TT unit still
works well and the deleted ST unit does not need to be there for the TT receivers to understand the
meaning of the full unit.
493a: But he’d gone back to exactly how he’d acted before – avoiding me as much as
possible – the moment he was free from that temporary obligation to protect me.
493b: Men alt var ved det gamle – han undgik mig lige så meget som før – så snart
han ikke skulle beskytte mig længere.
This unit has also been condensated, but still in a degree that leaves the meaning of the ST unit
intact in the TT unit. However, the ST unit does hint that Jasper was not happy about being
obligated to protect Bella. The formulation in the ST unit has a ring of obligation to it that is not
present in the TT unit. The TT unit is a good translation of the ST unit, where Bestle has, yet again,
strayed from the structure of the ST unit to produce a good and natural TT unit.

The adaptation strategy is also one of the strategies Bestle has used to a great extent. It is not
because she has used it many times, but when she has used it, it has been in a way that is very clear
to see during analysis.
74a: I couldn’t feel anything but despair until I pulled into the familiar parking lot
behind Forks High School and spotted Edward leaning motionlessly against his
polished silver Volvo, like a marble tribute to some forgotten pagan god of beauty.
74b: Jeg følte ikke andet end fortvivlelse, indtil jeg kørte ind på den velkendte
parkeringsplads bag skolen i Forks og fik øje på Edward, der stod, ubevægelig, og
lænede sig op af sin skinnende, sølvfarvede Volvo. Han lignede en statue: Skønhedens
gud.
In this example Bestle has diverted a cultural clash between Danish and American. The school
system in America is different to the system in Denmark. In America the schools are divided as
follows; elementary school is from kindergarten to 5th grade and is for children at the age of 5-11;
middle school is from 6th grade to 8th grade, and the children are from 11 years to 14 years old; high
school is from 9th grade to 12th grade, and the children are from 14 years to 18 years old. In
89
Denmark the school system is as follows. Children begin kindergarten, which is considered part of
folkeskolen, and they are 5-6 years. Then folkeskolen follows comprising 1st grade to 9th grade, with
the optional 10th grade, and the children are from 6 years to 15 years old – 16 years, if they include
10th grade. Gymnasiet, lasting three years, follows where the children are from 15-16 years to 18-19
years old. The two systems do not correspond with each other, meaning that there is no equivalent
found between English and Danish. Bestle has solved this possible translation problem really well
by translating high school into the generic term skolen. The average translator would probably
chose to translate high school into gymnasiet, which can also be defended. Bella turns 18 in this
chapter, so it can be assumed that the school she goes to is gymnasiet in Danish. However, in every
case high school cannot always be translated into gymnasiet, as the two types of school covers
different age groups and comprises different grades.
102-105a: You’re only a senior once. Might as well document the experience.”
“How many times have you been a senior?”
“That’s different.”
102-105b: Du bliver kun myndig én gang. Så kan du lige så godt fotodokumentere
det.”
”Hvor mange gange er du blevet myndig?”
”Det er noget andet.”
This is a very interesting translation strategy. Bestle has adapted the concept of being a senior in
high school to the concept of becoming a legal adult in Denmark. The meaning of the ST unit has
changed radically with this adaptation. It is true that both of the concepts are important to teenagers
at that age. In America there is a great focus on being a senior and being on the verge of becoming
an adult. Many changes happen in that year. Being a senior is more a process of development, than
becoming a legal adult is. Turning 18 is a big deal in Denmark, though. The teenager can now be
called an adult, with all the rights that entails. However, turning 18 is only of great importance on
the actual birthday, whereas being a senior is a process a teenager goes through for a whole school
year. Seniors – 3. g’er – in Danish gymasier goes through the same process during the last year,
which is why it is not necessary for Bestle to make this adaptation. Another point is that the
adaptation actually ruins the meaning of an inside joke, to which the ST unit refers. In Twilight it is
told that the Cullens have to go through high school many times and that they have graduated from
many college educations as well. They are frozen in the state they were in when they were
90
transformed into vampires, which means that a few of them are deemed to be teenagers forever, and
thus have to live out the teenage life in order for them to blend in with the rest of the community
they live in, which involves attending high school numerous times. Hence Bella’s comment to
Alice; how many times have you been a senior? It makes no sense in the TT unit, for Bella to ask
Alice how many times she has turned 18, as the vampires are very old and they do not celebrate
birthdays the same way humans do. In conclusion, this adaptation was wrong to do, as it ruins the
meaning of the ST unit and the TT unit does not work well in the situation.
471a: Alice, I assumed, had covered every flat surface with pink candles and dozens
of crystal bowls filled with hundreds roses.
471b: Alice – jeg går ud fra, det var hende – havde dækket hver eneste vandrette
overflade i stuen med lyserøde stearinlys og ti-tolv glasskåle fyldt med hundredvis af
roser.
In this example Bestle has translated the American unit of quantity measurement to the Danish unit
of quantity measurement. In American it is very common to use dozen as a quantity measurement,
but in Danish it is very old-fashioned. Nowadays Danes prefer to use the actual amount of items and
state how many items there actually is, rather than defining them by a number of larger quantities.
The ST unit is also rather indefinable, as it states that there were dozens, which would mean that
there is more than just one dozen. Bestle has translated the ST item into 10-12 glass bowls, which is
slightly wrong as a dozen consists of exactly 12 pieces and not 10. Still, her translation does
diminish the element of the extravagant decoration the ST unit seems to contain. It would be some
big bowls if there are only 10-12 and they had to contain hundreds of roses.
Addition
The addition strategy is used when the translator thinks that the ST unit needs another unit of
meaning so that the TT receivers will understand the unit better. Bestle has not used the addition to
its full potential, as there are not any units that need further explaining or that need an addition of
meaning. So this example is straight forward.
17a: Even though I was thrilled to see him – conscious or otherwise – and even
though I was almost positive that I was dreaming, I panicked as Edward walked
toward us through the glaring sunlight.
91
17b: Selvom jeg altid var glad for at se ham, bevidst eller ej, og selvom jeg var
næsten helt overbevist om, at jeg drømte, gik jeg alligevel i panik, da Edward trådte
ud i det blændende sollys, og kom hen imod os.
Bestle has added altid to the TT unit. The addition changes the tone of the text and the underlying
meaning in the unit. In the ST unit Bella states that she is thrilled to see Edward. That statement can
come across like she is happy to see Edward in this situation, but not always. However, the TT unit
adds a more profound meaning, as it implies that Bella is always happy to see Edward, no matter
the situation.
Substitution
The substitution strategy can be used to substitute one unit of meaning with another in the TT. The
meaning of the ST unit will then change.
157a: “But Mr. Berty said we needed to see it performed to fully appreciate it – that’s
how Shakespeare intended it to be presented.”
157b: ”Men hr. Mason sagde, vi skulle se stykket opført for virkelig at få det fulde
udbytte – det er sådan, Shakespeare havde tænkt, det skulle præsenteres.”
In this example Bestle has literally substituted an element in the TT unit. At first the change in
name made no sense, so it had to mean that either of them was wrong. It turned out that Mr. Mason
is in fact the English teacher in Twilight, and Bella is talking about English class in this unit. The
reason for the confusion is that Bella now has another English teacher, Mr. Berty. Bestle might have
experienced the same confusion as I did by the change in name, and assume that Meyer had
confused her own characters. However, in this case the substitution is not necessary. If Bestle
thought that it was irrelevant that the teacher had changed she could, instead of using the name of
the other teacher, use the addition strategy to explain why Bella now has another teacher.
520a: I turned to give Edward a basilisk glare.
520b: Jeg vendte mig mod Edward og skar ansigt.
The meaning in this example has changed from the ST unit to the TT unit. In the ST unit Bella
glares at Edward, which is done with the eyes. In the TT unit she makes a face at him, where the
whole face is presumably involved, or at least that is the image that springs to mind. To glare at
someone has the connotation of the glarer being evil, mad or angry. When a person glares it is often
92
out of content or hate, be it real or pretend, the latter being the probable scenario here. However,
making a face at someone seems like a more childish thing to do, or it has the connotation of being
in pain or disgusted by something. In the situation of this ST unit I doubt that an 18 year old will be
so rude as to make faces of a gift she is presented with, whereas she would probably send a quick
glare at the person she asked not to give her a gift. These are simply assumptions; of course, as it
cannot be fully determined how any teenager would react to anything, but in conclusion the
meaning of the ST unit has change because Bestle substituted the glare with a face.
