Q:
What does In such periods, the goal of the translation is to achieve perfect identity with the original, so that the one does not exist instead of the other but in the other's place. mean?
A:
@YanYuChen Jeez, are these the kinds of readings lecturers give to translation students?! This is enough to give me a headache 😵. I feel it is better to understand the passage not through grammar, but holistically.
If I understand correctly:
The passage describes the third epoch of translation (in such periods) which states the goal of translation is to achieve what is described as 'perfect identity' with the original work.
'Perfect Identity' is said to be achieved when 'the one does not exist instead of the other but in the other's place'.
So what is the 'one' and what is the 'other'? it is clear that it is talking about an original work (other) and its translation (one).
It is envisioned that a translated work should not exist instead of the original work, but that it should take the original work's place.
What this means practically is elaborated in the following sentences, but I previously read walter benjamin and have some idea, it's about the approach taken in translating a work, of replacement v substitution.

All 3 words are related to time. Duration is how long an interval or period lasts for (in seconds, minutes, hours etc). Period is a block of time and an interval is the time between each period. This is kind of confusing so here is an example: At school we have 8 periods, each periods’ duration is 40 minutes. In between each period there is a 5 minute interval.
Duration in a sentence: The music was playing for the duration of the party.
Period in a sentence: Within this period, 4 people fell over.
Interval in a sentence: There was a 1 minute interval between each runner.
Duration in a sentence: The music was playing for the duration of the party.

So "in" and "for", don't let those throw you off! In this case, "in a long period of time" you are inside a period of time, that is considered long or the time amount is large.
And "for a long period of time" it's still describing the large amount of time, but you are not in the time constraint if you translate it literally.

this sounds pretty natural - よくできました!
Only small changes:
-Pluralize Monday to “Mondays”
-Use more commas to make B one longer sentence. (* “So I can sleep in.” is a choppy sentence by itself. Usually “so” comes after a comma, not a period).
-Maybe instead of “good for you” say something more common between friends.
-“Good for you” isn’t used as often with friends. It sounds like something a parent would say to their kid.

A: “Nice” or “That’s nice”
:)
Nicely done, overall!

Q:
Please show me how to pronounce “I thought the blooming period of cherry blossoms were very short.”
Is my pronunciation correct?
Could you please let me know if I make some mispronounced!.
Is my pronunciation correct?
Could you please let me know if I make some mispronounced!.
A:
Great job. The pronunciation of l in blooming was a little rough, but understandable. "Blossoms" was perfect. Since the subject (blooming period) is singular, use "are" instead of "were".
also, it should be "made some mispronunciations" or "if I mispronounced anything"
Hope that helps!
