What's the difference between construe and translation?

Construe


Definition:

  • (v. t. ) To apply the rules of syntax to (a sentence or clause) so as to exhibit the structure, arrangement, or connection of, or to discover the sense; to explain the construction of; to interpret; to translate.
  • (v. t. ) To put a construction upon; to explain the sense or intention of; to interpret; to understand.

Example Sentences:

  • (17) This modality, however; should not be construed as "conservative" management.
  • (18) This study was designed to test four hypotheses: (a) parents of schizophrenics constitute a discrete group amongst the parents of psychiatric patients with regard to aspects of their construing; (b) schizophrenics can be differentiated from other psychiatric patients by aspects of their construing; (c) the construing of parents of psychiatric patients is related to that of their disturbed children; and (d) parents of schizophrenics differ from parents of other psychiatric patients in their personality and attitudes.
  • (19) The time limit in psychoanalytically oriented brief psychotherapy has been construed as a motivation for the patient and the therapist to work more efficiently in therapy and as a stimulation of the patient's unconscious conflicts relating to separation and loss.
  • (20) In general, these results suggest that patients displayed similar symptom patterns over time, whether construed as personality traits or characteristic patterns of responding when symptomatic.

Translation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of translating, removing, or transferring; removal; also, the state of being translated or removed; as, the translation of Enoch; the translation of a bishop.
  • (n.) The act of rendering into another language; interpretation; as, the translation of idioms is difficult.
  • (n.) That which is obtained by translating something a version; as, a translation of the Scriptures.
  • (n.) A transfer of meaning in a word or phrase, a metaphor; a tralation.
  • (n.) Transfer of meaning by association; association of ideas.
  • (n.) Motion in which all the points of the moving body have at any instant the same velocity and direction of motion; -- opposed to rotation.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) These lysates are comparable to those of Escherichia coli in transcriptional and translational fidelity and efficiency in response to a given template DNA.

  • (3) The mtRF-1 could translate all of the known termination codons in the rat mitochondrial genome.
