As was mentioned earlier, the most conspicuous examples of role
distancing can be found in the non-professional translators’ (particularly
Ann’s, Laura’s and Paul’s) behaviour. As they found themselves performing a
role in which they did not feel comfortable, or with which they did not wish to
identify themselves, they seemed to want to convince the observers that ‘this is
not the real me, you must not take my actions seriously’. This was expressed
by constant laughter (especially Ann and Laura) and joking. Consider, for
instance, the following examples (verbalisations of interest are printed in
bold).
