Summary/Abstract: A translation is perfect, when it shows that people from different nationalities could think as identical twins. A translation reminds a caricature when it presents as identical twins individuals from different races, different sex, оr different age. The article tries to demonstrate that in the second case the comparison between the original and the translated text makes it possible to build a psychological portrait of the translator and to reconstruct episodes of his scientific biography.
