“Welcome to one of the world’s most beautiful professions.” That’s a variation on a book title I heard during my second year of translation studies, in the fall semester of 2015.

Cormier, and the student who had it autographed by one of the authors showed us the handwritten words inside the front cover: Bienvenue à la plus belle profession du monde – “Welcome to the world’s loveliest profession.”
