Chinese to English: Hongta Group
Source text - Chinese 从一个年税利上千万元的小厂到上缴国家年税利200多亿元的现代化国有企业；红塔集团已经拥有玉溪、楚雄、大理三个省内卷烟厂，并控股参股海南、沈阳、营口、长春、延吉5个国内卷烟厂，同时涉及能源、交通、金融、轻工等产业，70多个非烟企业。红塔集团历经几十年风雨洗礼，面对全球一体化的经济浪潮，始终坚持以“山高人为峰”精神为核心动力，坚持“加快发展步伐，全面提升水平，增强软硬实力，构建和谐红塔”的集团核心发展思路。在“做精做强－玉溪、做强做大－红塔山、做实做稳－红梅”，确立“玉溪”在高端品牌的强势地位，确立“红塔山”在品牌体系中的标志性地位的品牌发展战略指导下，在红塔集团的品牌家族中，具备了高、中、低档的价位分布，满足了社会各阶层人群的需求，各品牌个性鲜明，具有较深的文化内涵。每一品牌的每一款产品都是红塔人用智慧和汗水为消费者奉献的精品，所有的品牌都承载着红塔人的勇气与期望，形成一支强大的品牌舰队，在日益激烈的市场竞争中乘风破浪、勇往直前。踏上红塔集团品牌发展的征程。科技创造价值，价值回报社会，是红塔始终坚持的企业发展之路。仅1993至2006年的14年间，红塔集团累计捐助社会公益事业的资金已经超过达到9亿5千多万元人民币，涉及教育、赈灾、体育、经济等领域。	Translation - English The Hongta Group is a state-owned enterprise which has grown from a small factory with an annual contribution of taxes and net profits of just about 10 million RMB into a modern state-owned conglomerate with an annual contribution of taxes and net profits exceeding 20 billion RMB. In Yunnan Province, the Hongta Group currently owns three cigarette factories—the Yuxi Cigarette Factory, the Chuxiong Cigarette Factory and the Dali Cigarette Factory. The Group has controlled or participated in shares of five cigarette factories outside Yunnan Province – The Hainan Cigarette Factory, The Shenyang Cigarette Factory, The Yingkou Cigarette Factory, The Changchun Cigarette Factory and The Yanji Cigarette Factory. In addition, the group has entered such fields as energy, transportation, finance and light industry, which involve more than 70 non-tobacco enterprises. After decades of exponential development, the Hongta Group has entered the age of the Global Economic Integration. Inherent in the Group’s resolve to pursue ultimate consumer satisfaction is the spirit of not resting on laurels and of transcending the Group’s existence as the leader in China’s tobacco industry. Thus the Group’s present mission is to facilitate its development, upgrade its management capacity, reinforce its market leadership and create a harmonious corporate culture. The branding strategy of the Hongta Group revolves around its top three cigarette brands----Yuxi, Hongtashan and Hongmei: for the Yuxi brand, efforts are to be made to enhance its quality and market competitiveness to create the leadership position of the brand in the high-end cigarette market; for the Hongtashan brand, efforts are to be focused upon expanding its market share and establishing its dominant role in the Group’s branding strategy; for the Hongmei brand, efforts are to be undertaken to reinforce its market position. Under the guidance of the branding strategy, appropriate pricing tactics for high, medium and low-grade cigarette brands have been executed. As a result, needs from various consumer groups have been adequately met and each of the brands demonstrates unique brand personality and distinctive cultural connotations. Each and every product of any brand in the Group is an exquisite article created through originality and arduous work by employees in the Group. Each brand is an embodiment of courage and anticipations of the Hongta employees. The employees’ unremitting endeavors have helped the Hongta Group embark upon its journey to establish a world-class brand. The Hongta Group’s unwavering corporate creed is to create value through scientific advances and to contribute to the society with the value created. During the period from 1993 to 2006 alone, the Hongta Group had contributed well over 950 million RMB to charities and other public sectors, such as education, disaster-relief, sports and economic development programs.
English to Chinese: Genetics Intro.
Source text - English A chromosome is an extremely long, thin, highly folded molecule, sections of which (genes) carry information that controls the growth and development of the organism. Genes occupy a particular position on a chromosome throughout a species population, determining (often in combination with other genes) a particular phenotypic character (e.g. eye color). Chromosomes are usually found in homologous pairs (23 pairs in humans), with one of each pair derived from each parent. In contrast to normal cell division (mitosis), a process called meiosis (reduction division) takes place in the germ cells (mammals = ovaries and testes) to produce gametes (mammals = eggs and sperm) containing half the normal number of chromosomes. Two gametes fuse (fertilization) to produce a cell with the normal number of chromosomes. During meiosis a process of recombination takes place, mixing genetic material across these paired chromosomes, which ensures the gene combinations in the chromosomes in any single gamete are different from any other and different from the combinations the father and mother possess. Different sequences of genetic material occupying the same gene locus are called alleles. If the two alleles are identical on the homologous chromosomes, the cell, organism etc. is homozygous at that locus. Homozygous mutations (the same mutation occurs on both chromosomes of the pair) are normally expressed phenotypically. When the two alleles at a locus are different, the cell/organism is heterozygous for the character they determine. So where alleles A and a occupy the A-locus three possible genotypes exist, two homozygous ones (A-A and a-a) and one heterozygous (A-a). If the character A is expressed equally whether the organism is A-A or A-a, it is completely dominant. If the character represented by a is only expressed when the organism is a-a, it is completely recessive. Co-dominance occurs when homozygotes differ from each other and the heterozygote, and effects are detected in the phenotype (e.g. the A-locus produces either: a red flower = A-A, a white flower = a-a, or a pink flower = A-a).	Translation - Chinese 染色体是一个非常细长和高度折叠的分子。染色体的特定部分（基因）承载用以控制有机体生长的信息。在整个物种群落中，基因在染色体中占有一个独特的地位并（常常需要和其他的基因联合）能够决定某一个特定的表型特性（例如眼睛的颜色等）。染色体通常以同源配对的形式出现（人体中共有23对），每一对染色体各来自于父亲和母亲。与正常的细胞分裂相比，在生殖细胞（如哺乳动物的卵巢和睾丸）中则发生了减数分裂以制造配子（如哺乳动物的卵子和精子）。这些配子各携带正常染色体一半的数量。两个配子结合（受精）后便产生了带有正常数量染色体的细胞。在减数分裂的过程中，一个被称为重组的过程发生了。重组过程将遗传物质整合到所有的配对染色体中。重组过程确保了任何单个配子染色体中的基因组合能够彼此相异并且这些基因组合也与父亲或母亲的基因组合不同。占据了相同基因位点的不同序列的基因物质被称为等位基因。如果两个等位基因在同源染色体上是相同的，那细胞和有机体等在基因位点就具备了纯合特性。纯合突变（在同一个配对染色体上的突变）通常从表型的意义上来表达。当两个等位基因在某个基因位点上，那该细胞/有机体就因此具备了杂合特性。所以只要等位基因A与a占据了基因位点Ａ，那就存在有三种可能的基因型：两种纯合基因型（A和A, a和a）和一种杂合基因型（A和a）。如果对于A和A或是A和a基因型的有机体我们都用特性A来表示，那该特性为完全显性。如果对于具备有a和a的基因型我们用特性a来表达，那该特性则为完全隐性。当纯合基因型彼此相异且与杂合基因型也不同时，那共显性的现象就出现了。该现象的影响能够在表型的层面上被识别出来（例如基因位点A可以产生红花=A-A, 白花=a-a或是粉色的花=A-a）。

About me

Hi, my name is Huagang Yang, you may call me Peter. I am so pleased to meet you here at Proz.

I have been a full-time CN-EN & EN-CN translator in both U.S. and China for nearly two decades. After all these years in the translation field, in my views, translation is more than conversion of one language into another, it is basically about the art of understanding your target audiences from their perspective and of communicating the right messages. Thus a lot of cultural sensitivities are involved here.

Apart from a long history of being a professional translator in China, I received my M.A. in Public Communication Studies from Syracuse University and my M.S. in Statistics from Rutgers University. I have worked in law and international trade in U.S. for two years after graduation.

I am now a full-time freelance cross-cultural communication consultant for clients from both China and abroad. I am proficient in translating and proofreading materials in such fields as marketing research, media, public polilcy, law & contracts, telecommunication, statistics, software localization and tourism.
