Words without Borders opens doors to international exchange through translation, publication, and promotion of the best international literature. Metaphor: Childish Happiness. That would depend on the sort of translation we were talking about--even if we limit ourselves to the ordinary sense of the word with which we are presently concerned. A first translation is a 初訳 shoyaku. When what has been translated is a word, the translation is a 訳語 yakugo; a translation of a poem is a 訳詩 yakushi; if it is a lyric it is a 訳詞 yakushi; if you are discussing a translation as prose you say 訳文 yakubun; if the translation is a book it is a 訳書 yakusho or a 訳本 yakuhon, and the translated title is its 訳名 yakumei.
Osvald’s mother carefully hides the truth about her husband from Osvald in order to bring him up as a person not disappointed in his father, thereby saving him from pain and anger. A Braille translation is a 点訳 ten'yaku.
Ghostly relationships are moving around almost imperceptibly in the ether; it is our task to identify and catch them, pin them down, then radically demolish them and reassemble them into an equivalent in the target language. What realm do we enter when we boot up our computer, attune our mental faculties to that odd wavelength of ours, and ascend into the ethereal realm of the translator's daily praxis? Beyond Between: Translation, Ghosts, Metaphors. All these quotations, and their invocation of spatial metaphors--the idea of the translator's or the translation's in-betweenness, the suggestion that translators and translations serve as bridges--dovetail neatly with the metaphors we use when we talk about language and "communication" (which itself contains a spatial metaphor): "Did you get my meaning?" a ghost from the past haunting tones drift over the mountains they hold dark secrets the darkness peirced by strange colored lightening . Saussure would say that "translation" is defined by its difference from, for instance, "interpretation," "adaptation," "transnation," etcetera.

This is evident, for instance, in the fact that 現代語訳 gendaigoyaku (the rendering of a work in a pre-modern form of Japanese into a modern form of Japanese, which is unquestionably a form of "translation") is not generally considered a subset of hon'yaku. In literature, however, I would like to argue that the ghost becomes a metaphor for memory, or as Tabitha King suggests, “the ghost is almost always a metaphor for the weight of the past”.
