Tolken
Show quick summaryHide summary
What it's about: Interpreter Aziz takes a hospital family meeting in Drammen and finds the patient is an old customer from his father's vegetable shop. When the son whispers in Dari asking him to soften the doctor's grave news, Aziz follows the rules and translates that too, and then the silent mother answers in Norwegian: she has understood everything and asked for an interpreter so that her son would not have to be the voice that told her.
Aziz hadde jobbet som tolk i tolv år, og han kunne reglene utenat. En tolk skal oversette alt som blir sagt, ikke legge til noe og ikke trekke fra noe. En tolk snakker i jeg-form, er nøytral og har taushetsplikt. Han hadde tolket i rettssaler, på NAV-kontorer og på asylmottak, og han var stolt av at stemmen hans aldri skalv.
