%X Translating metaphors is one of the most prominent areas where the importance of respect for the receptor languages and cultures can be demonstrated and in this article I present a few examples from my own experience with CIS (former USSR) languages. Among other treatments of metaphor, I draw on the work of K. McElhanon, who suggests translating scenarios rather than words and expressions, even though scenarios are not identical in different cultures
