    I am quire worried because that translation company has been led by a group of professors, and as they said on their website, foreign professionals. I promised my friend that I will do a good work. I must lose? Let me wait until they send me their version of the text. The boss stammered and said it was truly unnecessary to compare theirs with mine. Perhaps they are not so capable?

    No, it was written by me. I spotted a mistake already. Please don't adjust anything. In the middle of the third line, the word which must be changed into whom. They will perhaps give me their challenge tomorrow with another version of the text. I will show it to you tomorrow.

    Thank you so much, Neely. I almost lost my confidence in English before I read your message. Don't adjust mine. I will give you another version, written by sb else. Make adjustments as much as possible. Change everything of it if you can. Thank you again, and again.

    Neely, I know you teach English now. Please judge my translated work. I need your true advice.
    ABC Company held a change of chairman ceremony wonderfully at 11:00 AM on 11th May, in ABC Company. The general manager of CBA Group, Hua Chun Lin was the supervisor of the ceremony. The original chairman, Chung Wu Liao handed his official seal over to Ke Hsing Liao, to which the position of chairman was passed on. The ceremony was a success. Mr. Liao undertook the position of the general manager of ABC Company since 1977 and after that the position of the chairman of the same company. He devoted 7 years of his life to this company. During the 7 years, he improved the company itself and expanded its business tremendously. As the general manager of ABC Company, he presided over the establishment of a PDP factory of Taiwan Plastic Industry, which located in Mai Liao, and accomplished the two billion NTD project in ten months only. It was a miracle, an example to be learned by all groups.

    Haha, actually I have no idea how I got the text to show up pink as people type. I pretty much just spent an hour clicking things and going back to my profile until I liked how things looked, so it was a happy accident.

    Haha thanks, I put an embarassing amount of effort into my profile.

    Perhaps you know more than all the other people here, because as far as I know, you studied in a literature graduate program and teach English now. Will you please tell me who hold those pure literature academic meetings? Do I have a chance to interpret for one of those meetings, if my friends are willing to help me with their best efforts? Though I do not have a master degree, I read for many years by myself and learned a great deal in Literature. I think I can speak in a literature style of English to fit the requirement of those meetings. My voice is good, I believe, when it is delivered through a microphone system. The point is, if I can get a chance or not. I get really excited now. It is my dream. Pure literature only.

    Free interpretation is an idea introduced by my old professor in college, who dedicated his life on literature and news. It means one can say in one's own words, with one's wisdom, mixed with one's feelings, the original, in the targeted language. It is a very fantastic way to do interpretation. Though it seems absurd, it is honest and smart. To interpret word for word objectively makes the interpreted piece some sort of puzzle. I really hope I can do some interpretation soon, because it is more of art than of a skill to be learned.

    Yes, you are right, Neely. I believe in miracles. I will do my best to improve my skills, by simply shutting up my mouth now and reading, before I get a master degree in literature, after around half a year, I hope. I am more interested in literature than in translation. I think I can also do interpretation with a literature degree.

    Do you know how I can get an opportunity to do a fancy interpretation from Chinese to English? I do not have a master degree, which is all the translation companies want, before they truly read some other stuff included with the resume. I am looking forward to getting a master degree in a year, but not now. However I want to do some interpretations now, not next year. What are some of the things I can do to get me a chance? Can I keep sending letters to those companies? Will the professors in college help, for example, to recommend me to one of those companies? I don't think so, because they won't. Should I simply give the idea up?

Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

Arrival (Memories)

by Neely on 06-08-2012 at 04:50 AM
Arrival

He said that the best time was when the
Wheat was just inches high in the fields.
Flat, rolled out land, naked to the sky.
Not for him was the joy of the windswept wheat,
The time when summer was dipping down for another year.
He liked the eager anticipation of what was to come.

The joy for me was the bend of Martin Dales,
For that was when I knew we had arrived.
Arrived for weeks and weeks,
The uncounted

This is for my grand father who died this month. He is so very much missed by all who knew him. He meant the world to me and I will never forget our many great times together.

Thank you so much.

The Last Class

by Neely on 05-19-2011 at 08:18 PM
Well, I finished my last ever uni class this week.

It was awfully strange and not how I imagined it. Having done seven years part-time I always assumed that the last class would be a certain beer gathering with hangovers all round, but it didn't happen like that at all.

Instead, what should have been a celebratory week really just fizzled into nothing. I had to ditch the last session because of work commitments (that turned out to be not as important as perceived)

Big Trouble in Little Sheffield...

by Neely on 03-10-2011 at 07:43 PM
There could be some big trouble this week in Sheffield as Nick Clegg comes "home" to face the music with his party conference.

http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/0...7296UN20110310

I'm not going to get into the level of disgrace this chap and his party are (they have helped to destroy any prospect of people from low/middle incomes attending university despite naively promising to scrap tuition fees!! and so much more), but there

On the Closure of Pollards...

by Neely on 03-03-2011 at 07:21 PM
I'm just going to keep this really short because I am genuinely very upset about this:

http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/busine...life_1_3136233

I am devastated that this has been forced to close. Pollards is (was?) a coffee shop the type of which I fear we will not see in Sheffield again. It is rather symbolic in its own right, I suppose, that shops like this are closing throughout the country in place of the soulless Starbucks and
