William Wordsworth was a famous English poet born in 1770 in Cockermouth, Cumberland. He is considered a founder of the Romantic movement in English literature. Wordsworth lived in the Lake District of England, known for its beautiful landscapes, and was called the "Lakeland Poet." He travelled to revolutionary France in 1790 and spent a year there before being prevented from returning until 1802 due to war. That year he married Mary Hutchinson and they had five children together. Wordsworth is known for poems like Lyrical Ballads and The Prelude, and for advocating that nature can be a better teacher than books and science.

The Camera and the Eye
The camera and eye are compared. Both have an aperture that light enters through, covered by a convex lens, and a screen where images are formed - the film in a camera and the retina in the eye. In both, the image formed is upside down, real, and smaller than the object due to the convex lens refracting light rays. The iris and shutter control the amount of light entering the camera and eye respectively.

Interpreting and Audiovisual Translation
Interpreting involves facilitating oral or sign language communication between speakers of different languages, either simultaneously or consecutively.

Translation differs from interpreting in that it involves written conversion of meaning from one written text to another, while interpreting is an oral exchange.
