The latest meeting of the Ohio Honfyaku Get-together was held this past Saturday, July 12, 2003 in Columbus, Ohio from 12:00 - 3:00 PM.

Over lunch, topics of conversation ranged from translation rates for types of translation and fields of expertise to the benefits of UPS systems and backup generators after such a storm-ridden spring.

The highlight of the afternoonfs meeting was the presentation given by Mutsuyo Unger (‰œ‘Ί–r’) regarding the translation of emphatic expressions from English to Japanese. Specific examples were sited from her translation of two scholarly works written by J. Marshall (Jim) Unger - The Fifth Generation Fallacy (uƒRƒ“ƒsƒ…[ƒ^[ŽΠ‰ο‚ΖŠΏŽšv) and Literacy and Script Reform in Occupation Japan (uθ—Μ‰Ί“ϊ–{‚Μ•\‹L‰όŠvv).
