Usage of After All and Its Application to Translation Training

For translation learners at the initial stage, teaching how to find an equivalence is considered to be important, and in this process, using a dictionary is considered to be a must. Ironically, however, one of the most common difficulties in the initial stage of translation training is a student s excessive dependence on a dictionary written in his/her mother tongue as such dependence may misguide the translation learner s concept of a specific expression and nuance, and eventually, may lead to the problem of translation quality. Against this backdrop, this paper aims at presenting a possibility to use a corpus among students in translation. To this end, this paper observed students concept of after all based on the definitions in English-Korean as well as in English-English dictionaries, the usage of after all using a corpus, and presented the possibility and importance of using a corpus in understanding the adequate meaning of a source text in the initial stage of translation training.
