### How to Re-tell the Meaning
### How to Discover and Re-tell the Meaning
MAST was developed as a simple process that emphasizes meaning transferance. In other words, the eight steps of MAST were specifically designed to help translators understand and then retell the meaning of the text. If the eight steps are consistantly followed, the translation will be meaning-based, natural, and accurate. Here is an overview of the MAST process with notes on the transfering of meaning from the source language to the target language:
MAST was developed as a simple process that emphasizes meaning transferance. In other words, the eight steps of MAST were specifically designed to help translators understand and then retell the meaning of the text.The first 3 steps are steps to discovering the meaning. The next step is concerned with retelling the meaning. The final four steps affirm the discovery of meaning and make sure the retelling is accurate and natural. If the eight steps are consistantly followed, the translation will be meaning-based, natural, and accurate. Here is an overview of the MAST process:
1. Consume: read the chapter in the source text, thinking about what it means. Consider the chapter as a whole, noticing its form, and style as well as the setting and background. Even as you think of these things, do not get bogged down. This step should only take a few minutes.
2. Verbalize: In the target language express what you just consumed. This is best done to another translator who also speaks the target language. But it is such an important brain process, that if no one is available, it is still essential that the translator do this step by telling it to someone who can't understand his target language or even speaking it out loud to no one in particular. The process of retelling what he read out loud in his heart language, helps to transfer its meaning into his memory for later.
