Source text - English “The Lebanese taxi driver” XXXXX, 10 years old By reading this poem I could only notice once again the effectiveness and the frankness of the language spoken by children. It is in this frankness where the beauty of the story resides, and it comes to us like a fresh breeze. XXXXX describes the Lebanese taxi driver, and he does it with a language that strikes us by its simplicity and moves us by its complicity. This universal man who is analyzed by the eyes of a child, this man like so many other men, but unique in the imaginary of who is looking at him, has the merit of enclosing in his large Mercedes a heap of observations and many commonplaces. He is, above all things, nice and Lebanese. He does forty things while still having the time to laugh, howl, slow down, skip red lights, and still remain nice and Lebanese. By stressing his humanity is how XXXXX draws the portrait of a person who is accessible, generous, a little irascible and anticonformist, a kind of monument where the Lebanese flag flutters. His image touches us right in our hearts, without fancy detours, glowing metaphors and additional embellishment. XXXXX describes the taxi driver, object-subject of his poem, and he does it by removing the comments full of criticism of grow-ups, bringing back the observations of a child who lives his every day without censoring himself.	Translation - Spanish “El taxista libanés” XXXXX, 10 años Al leer este poema no pude sino volver a notar la efectvidad y la franqueza del idioma de los niños. Es en esta franqueza donde reside la belleza de la historia que nos llega como una brisa fresca. XXXXX describe al taxista libanés, y lo hace con palabras que nos impactan por su simpleza y nos conmueven por su complicidad. Este hombre universal, analizado por la mirada de un niño, este hombre como tantos otros, pero único en el imaginario de quien lo observa, tiene el mérito de albergar en su gran Mercedes un cúmulo de observaciones y muchos lugares comunes. Antes de cualquier cosa, él es bueno y libanés. Hace cuarenta cosas, y aún tiene tiempo para reir, gritar, frenar, pasarse las luces rojas... y no deja de ser bueno ni libanés. Acentuando su humanidad es como XXXXX esboza el retrato de una persona accesible, generosa, un poco irascible y anticonformista, una especie de monumento donde flamea la bandera libanesa. Su imagen nos llega directo al corazón, sin complicados desvíos, intrincadas metáforas ni embellecimientos adicionales. XXXXX describe al taxista, objeto-sujeto de su poema, y lo hace eliminando los comentarios de los adultos, llenos de críticas, trayéndonos una vez más las observaciones de un niño que vide su cotidianeidad sin censurarse ni reprocharse.

Source text - French Bonjour, moi c’est XXXXX. Je suis allemande et libyenne. Je suis née en Allemagne et depuis que j’ai 4 ans je vis ici en Libye. J’ai 10 ans maintenant. J’étudie à l’école française de Tripoli. J’aime bien aller à l’école ! Mes matières préférées sont l’histoire et les arts plastiques. Dans le cours d’histoire, celui qui m’intéresse le plus, c’est Charlemagne, car c’est grâce à lui qu’on étudie à l’école aujourd’hui. Le week-end, je viens jouer au tennis a l’école, et je suis aussi en plus un cours d’arts plastiques. En Libye, la chose que je préfère le plus, c’est qu’il y a beaucoup de mer et qu’on peut toujours nager n’importe où. Bien sur, en été on peut plus nager qu’en hiver, car il fait trop trop chaud ! La température peut arriver à 40 degrés et même plus parfois. En hiver par contre on n’a jamais moins de zéro degrés, comme en Allemagne. On n’a pas de neige ici. Parfois, il y a de tous tous petits bouts de glace au milieu de l’hiver. En Libye on a aussi un très grand désert. C’est le désert du Sahara. J’y ai déjà été, bien sur…. Et le désert, et bien c est … désert ! On y trouve des pierres, et aussi des dessins des hommes préhistoriques. On trouve aussi des traces qui montrent qu’avant il y avait la mer a la place du désert: ces traces, ce sont les fossiles des coquillages et des poissons. C’est tout ce qu’on trouve dans le désert.	Translation - English Hello, I’m XXXXX. I’m German and Libyan. I was born in Germany and since I was 4 I’ve lived here in Libya. I’m 10 years old. I study at the French School of Tripoli. I love going to school! My favorite subjects are history and plastic arts. About history, what interests me the most are the stories of Charlemagne, because it’s thanks to him that we can study in school today. During weekends, I go to school to play tennis, and I’m also taking a course in plastic arts. What I like the most about Libya is that we have plenty of sea, and you can always swim anywhere. Well, in summer you can swim more than in winter, because the weather is really really hot! The temperature can reach 40º C and sometimes even more. On the other hand, in winters we never have less than zero degrees, as in Germany. It doesn’t snow either. Sometimes, there're teeny-tiny ends of ice in the middle of the winter. In Libya there’s also a very large desert. It’s the desert of the Sahara. I’ve been there… and the desert… well, it’s very… desert! You can see stones, and also drawings of prehistoric men. You can also find traces that show you that before being a desert, this place was the sea: there're fossils of shells and fish. That’s all you see in the desert. My favorite dish here is a dessert: it’s dough, with honey on top. We usually have it in the morning, with breakfast, specially during festivals.

About me

High-Quality Translations by José Miguel Neira

With an inborn interest in cultures, my life has been plagued with foreign contact.

When I was 6 years old I received the "Best English progress" award given by the Cambridge College, in Santiago de Chile, to one student from first to twelfth grade.

I started self-teaching me English by translating songs into Spanish and translating news into English. I achieved a satisfactory fluency in written and spoken English by the age of 13.

I traveled to Germany alone when I was 14, where I learned some basic German. My communicative process there was basically Germnglish, and I managed to survive and come back enriched by all the experiences lived there. This first trip opened up my mind to a whole world of social, linguistic and cultural variety.

A couple of years later I traveled across center Europe, visiting Spain, France, Italy, Austria, and Germany. In all of those places I learned a bit of their language and culture.

In another trip I went to England, where I had the chance to establish direct and constant contact with English speakers.

I have worked as a bilingual receptionist, consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, and as freelance translator.

I graduated as English - Spanish translator from the Instituto Chileno- Norteamericano I am currently finishing my studies there in the career of English - Spanish Interpreter.

I am also studying in the Universidad Católica the Diploma Specialization in Translation and Information and Communication Technologies.

I am currently working as a volunteer translator for Art in All of Us.

My current specializations are Legal, Telecommunications and Arts (Music, Visual Arts, etc.).
