Russian-to-English interpreting and translation of constructions with the predicative nado (надо)

This article is devoted to the analysis of strategies for translating constructions with the predicative nado (надо) into English. The object of this work is the predicative nado (надо). The subject of the study is analysis of the features of Russian-English interpreting of constructions with the studied lexical unit. The purpose of this article is to highlight recommendations for improving the quality of translation of constructions with the word nado (надо) by presenting the most frequent and adequate interpreting strategies for constructions with the studied predicative. The study provides a detailed comparison of translation options for constructions with the studied word, analyzes and discusses the distinctive aspects of various strategies in interpreting and written translation, pays special attention to the lack of a unified translation tactic, and also highlights some imperfections of the existing options. The methodology includes a continuous sampling method to form a corpus of examples of constructions with the studied lexical unit and their translations from transcripts of Russian-English interpreting and written translations of public political speeches, and corpus analysis techniques for processing and outputting the results. The study identifies the main strategies for translating constructions with the studied word and presents their refined descriptions. The novelty of the study is that this work is the first to examine Russian-English interperting of constructions with the predicative nado (надо), and also to compare it with written translation. The results of the study allow to analyze the identified translation strategies and come to certain conclusions. In addition, the results obtained may be of interest both for writing scientific papers on related topics, and for beginning and practicing translators, including courses for teaching theoretical and practical translation, textbooks on practical aspects of the language.
