I verified on ATA directory that there is no such peson named Phoebe Leong Yit Yin who is a certified English>Chinese translator and her fake certificate looks exactly the same as mine and is issued on the same date (April 13, 2000) as mine

See the fake certificate.

發EMAIL出現這樣的笑話也正常。昨天就有一個PM﹐ 把她應該給她的CLIENT的INVOICE發給了我。我一看她給我的費用是她拿到的價格的25%。 我倒是無所謂﹐ 問題是HIRE到這樣的PM﹐ 將來公司被搞垮了老闆都不知道怎麼垮的。

Copycats Jun 30, 2007

There are more copycats out there than we may know. All of us should be aware of this problem and fight against it.

Last year, I posted in the forum talking about plagiarism in the translation field. I didn't point it clear since it involves guys around us.

I remember Zhou Dan mentioned plagiarism in book translation in that thread. But I didn't mean that. From a sentence in the profile to large parts of resumes, Donglai, Zhou Dan, I myself and some other colleagues ha

I remember Zhou Dan mentioned plagiarism in book translation in that thread. But I didn't mean that. From a sentence in the profile to large parts of resumes, Donglai, Zhou Dan, I myself and some other colleagues have all been subjects of abuse. There's probably no translator who doesn't mind being copied.

However, the present case is more outrageous than ever. Even the ATA certificate was copied and modified. As a matter of fact, just for fear of these shameless copycats, I took down from my website and profile pages all downloadable certificate, resumes and full-length sample translations.

I simply can't understand these guys. What a shame!

这使我想起一位高中同学。当时他同时给两位女友寄信,地址没错,但装错了信封,其后果可想而知。 相比之下,现在点鼠标出错的几率似乎要高得多。:D
