对于语言学习爱好者而言，翻译官真的是个不错的职业哦。 Carolyn Yohn | French and Hungarian to English 卡罗琳·约恩|法语/匈牙利语-英语 They say reading offers you windows to other worlds. With translation, I get to build those windows for other people, one sentence at a time. Sometimes, I even get to build doors – for refugees looking for a safer place to raise a family, for inventors seeking buyers or producers for their new technology, for international couples preparing to commit to a life together. It’s an honor to be involved in such pivotal moments of strangers’ lives. 人们说阅读打开一扇窗。作为翻译者，我写的每句话都有可能为别人打造一扇窗，甚至可能是门。对于那些在寻找新家园的逃难者，那些需要买家的发明家、需要生产商的新技术，那些准备建立跨国婚姻的情侣，这些陌生人的重要时刻我都参与其中，想想也是很美的。 I also have the rare privilege of walking freely through these worlds that non-translators only catch glimpses of. Translation requires an intimate knowledge of both cultures involved. In an odd anthropological twist, I almost have to become the Other in order to properly comprehend the subtleties of the ideas I am asked to transmit across the language divide. This adds thrill to travel and to my everyday experiences: at all moments, in all places, I am both local and foreign. |
