| Résumé: | In pragmatic texts, meaning is a " psychological reality " (Seleskovitch) depending on communicational factors. It is real and can be strictly analysed. Translation students generally grasp it. This does not mean that they are able to clearly express what they have understood. The " first life " of meaning is relatively easy to apprehend thanks to analysis, and sometimes to intuition. The " second life " of meaning – the one that guarantees that translation has been successful – is much more difficult to deal with. Professional revision, which distinguishes between meaning errors due to mistaken transfer, and logic and conceptual errors due to inadequate wording, helps pointing out aspects of re-expression, key to successful translation. Through some examples this paper will highlight the importance of preserving the second life of meaning. |
