The start of July is noteworthy, among other things, for a cluster of national liberation anniversaries around the world:
- 1 July: Canada Day
- 3 July: Independence Day in Belarus
- 4 July: Independence Day in the USA
- 6 July: Independence Day in Malawi
- 9 July: Independence Day in Argentina
- 14 July: Bastille Day in France
This year’s 4th July events were made more memorable because of Donald Trump’s extraordinary ad-libbing during his presidential speech:
In June of 1775, the Continental Congress created a unified army out of the revolutionary forces encamped around Boston and New York, and named after the great George Washington, Commander-in-Chief.
The Continental Army suffered the bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware, and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown.
Our Army manned the air (inaudible), it rammed the ramparts. It took over the airports. It did everything it had to do. And at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their Star Spangled Banner waved defiant. (Applause.)

Tot i que el llibre ja comença a tenir uns quants anys, el presento perquè és una rara avis: no hi ha al mercat cap llibre actual i actualitzat escrit en alguna de les llengües de l’estat que proporcioni una revisió general de la metodologia de la recerca en el camp de la traducció. Per tant, “Diseños y métodos de investigación en traducción” (Síntesis, 2013) és una lectura imprescindible per als graduats que vulguin iniciar-se en el camí de la recerca en aquest àmbit.
