覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
translates は translate「翻訳する」の三人称単数現在形で、主語が he、she、単数名詞のときに -s を付けます。translate–translates と並べ、She translates English into Japanese. の translate A into B「AをBに訳す」で覚えましょう。語尾は /ts/ と発音し、過去形 translated と区別します。
Connect translates with the base verb translate and the pattern used in the simple present: I translate, but she translates. The final -s marks a third-person singular subject and is pronounced /s/ after the final /t/, producing the ending /ts/. Learn it in the useful structure translate A into B, as in “She translates English into Japanese.” The Latin-based word image is also helpful: trans- suggests movement across, so translation carries meaning across a language boundary. Keep translates separate from translated, which marks the past tense or past participle.

translates の語源・成り立ち Etymology
translates は translate の三人称単数形で、ラテン語 translatus「向こうへ運ばれた」に由来します。trans-「越えて」+ latus「運ばれた」なので、言葉や意味を「別の場所、つまり別の言語へ運ぶ」と考えると、翻訳の意味がすっと見えてきます。関連語は transfer, translation。
Translates is the third-person singular present form of translate, created by adding -s. Translate comes from Latin translatus, the past participle of transferre, “to carry across.” Its elements reflect trans-, “across” or “beyond,” and a form related to latus, “carried.” The word first had broader senses of transferring something from one place or condition to another; its familiar language sense treats meaning as being carried from one language into another.
