8. Study the information, be ready to speak about modulation, provide your own examples:

Modulation consists in using in translation a TL counterpart which is logically connected with the SL word either as reason and result (We cannot translate relaxation of a well-earned rest word-for-word. That is why we should analyze the phrase and understand that relaxation may result in enjoyment. Thus, we can translate the phrase as наслаждаясь заслуженным отдыхом), as a part and the whole (word-for-word translation of the sentence Не would cheer up somehow, begin to laugh again and draw skeletons all over his slate, before his eyes were dry is impossible, because рисовать скелеты would sound awkward. That is why we should resort to modulation and translate skeletons as фигурки: Он снова приободрялся, начинал смеяться и рисовал на своей грифельной доске разные фигурки, хотя глаза его еще были полны слез), etc.

• Use modulation if none of the TL counterparts listed in the dictionary entry can truly represent the semes of the SL word.

• Use the dictionary of synonyms, the dictionary of antonyms and the thesaurus to find an adequate correspondence.
