Patricia Sommer MITI<\/em><\/a>\u00a0 traduit de l\u2019anglais vers le fran\u00e7ais. Elle est sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e en d\u00e9veloppement international.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Bonjour, quelques mots pour te pr\u00e9senter\u00a0?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bonjour, je m\u2019appelle Patricia Sommer et je suis n\u00e9e \u00e0 Troyes, ancienne cit\u00e9 m\u00e9di\u00e9vale et capitale historique de la Champagne. Je vis \u00e0 Camberley, dans le Surrey, o\u00f9 je codirige Manzana Business Solutions Ltd avec mon mari Paul Appleyard FITI. Nous avons deux grands enfants de 28 et 23 ans.<\/p>\n

Interpr\u00e9tation ou traduction \u2013 ou les deux peut-\u00eatre\u00a0? Quels sont tes domaines de sp\u00e9cialisation\u00a0? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Je traduis exclusivement. D\u2019ailleurs, l\u2019id\u00e9e m\u00eame d\u2019interpr\u00e9ter m\u2019angoisse. J\u2019aurais trop peur de ne pas trouver le mot juste ou de perdre le fil et de voir tous ces regards inquisiteurs se tourner vers moi. J\u2019admire beaucoup les interpr\u00e8tes et leurs nerfs \u00e0 toute \u00e9preuve.<\/p>\n

Depuis environ 20 ans, je traduis presque exclusivement dans le secteur du d\u00e9veloppement international. Je travaille essentiellement pour des clients directs qui se sp\u00e9cialisent dans des domaines tr\u00e8s divers. Je passe donc beaucoup de temps \u00e0 faire des recherches, ce qui me pla\u00eet presque autant que de traduire.<\/p>\n

Pourquoi as-tu choisi ce m\u00e9tier\u00a0?<\/strong><\/p>\n

J\u2019ai toujours ador\u00e9 le fran\u00e7ais, les langues \u00e9trang\u00e8res et surtout les cultures diff\u00e9rentes. Petite, j\u2019\u00e9tais fan des aventures de la d\u00e9tective am\u00e9ricaine Alice Roy, l\u2019h\u00e9ro\u00efne de Caroline Quine (collection Biblioth\u00e8que verte), sans doute mon premier contact avec la traduction. Nous partions aussi tous les \u00e9t\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger et je m\u2019enivrais de toutes ces sonorit\u00e9s, couleurs et odeurs nouvelles.<\/p>\n

En seconde j\u2019ai choisi l\u2019option trilingue (allemand, anglais, espagnol) et tr\u00e8s vite l\u2019anglais est devenu une v\u00e9ritable passion. Je passais des heures \u00e0 essayer de comprendre, puis \u00e0 \u00e9crire les paroles de mes chansons pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9es et \u00e0 les traduire en fran\u00e7ais.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s une ma\u00eetrise d\u2019anglais et un DEUG d\u2019espagnol, j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 Lectrice dans une universit\u00e9 au pays de Galles avant de rentrer en France pour pr\u00e9parer un dipl\u00f4me de traduction. Fra\u00eeche \u00e9moulue de mon DESS de traducteur sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 (de nos jours on dirait plut\u00f4t \u00ab\u00a0de traduction sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\ud83d\ude0a) j\u2019ai de nouveau travers\u00e9 la Manche et j\u2019ai rapidement trouv\u00e9 un poste dans une agence de traduction. Sept ans plus tard, je me suis mise \u00e0 mon compte et, en 2004, Paul et moi avons cr\u00e9\u00e9 Manzana.<\/p>\n

Quand je pense \u00e0 mon m\u00e9tier, le c\u00e9l\u00e8bre adage \u00ab Fais un m\u00e9tier qui te pla\u00eet et tu ne travailleras pas un seul jour de ta vie\u00a0\u00bb me vient imm\u00e9diatement \u00e0 l\u2019esprit. En fait, je suis pay\u00e9e pour assouvir ma passion\u00a0!<\/p>\n

Sur quels types de projets pr\u00e9f\u00e8res-tu travailler\u00a0?<\/strong><\/p>\n

En r\u00e8gle g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, je n\u2019aime pas les projets trop longs. Pass\u00e9 10\u00a0000 mots, je commence \u00e0 m\u2019ennuyer, sauf si c\u2019est un cours de formation. C\u2019est un type de traduction plus vivant qui correspond bien \u00e0 mon style et au moins, je suis s\u00fbre que mon texte sera lu, ce qui n\u2019est pas forc\u00e9ment le cas de rapports longs et ennuyeux qui finissent probablement dans un tiroir.<\/p>\n

Et en dehors de la traduction ou l\u2019interpr\u00e9tation, quels sont tes centres d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat\u00a0?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pendant la semaine, je m\u2019efforce de \u00ab\u00a0bouger\u00a0\u00bb tous les jours et je suis diff\u00e9rents cours \u00e0 la salle de sport (pilates, yoga, spinning) et, le week-end, nous faisons des promenades en famille. J\u2019aime beaucoup la lecture, le th\u00e9\u00e2tre, les voyages et la gastronomie (fromage et bons vins)\u00a0!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
