translatio imperii - "the translator considers thought content a prisoner...which he translates into his own language with the prerogative of a conqueror..."
translatio studii - respect for "untranslatable affective gaps, the nub of intractable semantic difference, episodes of violent cultural tranference and counter-transference..." as an ethical attitude for literary scholars
