Hi! Ladies and gentlemen, I am Serlina.
Do you have to do translating work a lot? Maybe not.
Some of you would say, translating is not so important in your daily life or working life.
It seems it is important in only two situations.
Situation 1: Exams such as CET 4 and CET 6.
In these important exams,
you will be tested with translating skills—
translating a paragraph from Chinese to English.
Situation 2: Translating some documents, speeches, etc. as required by your leaders or friends.
See, it seems that it is not so frequently used in your present and future life.
But it is also beneficial to master some strategies on this kind,
so as to help you survive some important exams and unexpected missions.
I understand that most of you don’t know any strategy on translating so far.
Well, don’t worry.
You have ME here.
In this module, I will help you improve your translating skills.
I would introduce a lot of translating strategies,
such as amplification (增词法), omission (减词法), conversion (词类转换), etc.
I would also introduce some online resources and apps
that could facilitate your learning of translating.
I would demonstrate how you could make good use of them to improve your translating skills.
Last but not least, I would invite you to finish some translating activities every week,
so as to enhance your translating skills gradually.
Thank you!
