My current translation project is for an American publisher. I spoke today to the editor at the company in New York and she was full of praise for the translation so far, with upbeat words about the project as a whole and the way everything is going. It may or may not have been sincere (perhaps dealing with touchy, easily offended authors makes publishers very careful in the way they package things) but at any rate I put the phone down feeling good, about myself as a translator and about this project in particular. With renewed enthusiasm for and commitment to it...
And this is very American, this kind of unambiguous positivity (no ironic British doom and gloom here!) - and I think, when you celebrate on Thursday, you should also give thanks for that
