Summary/Abstract: This paper focusis on the bottom-up approach of translation, on micro level, on meanings realized through wordings which make explicit the interpretation of the meaning of a text. It is non-sense to translate words and phrases out of context, but a student should appreciate translation decisions made at the level of text only if s/he understands how the lower levels, the individual words, phrases and grammatical structures control and shape the overall meaning of the text. Those who are not trained linguists can easier follow this approach in order to interpret the meaning of the text as a whole.
