English to Chinese: Singing with Lulu (By Charlotte Church) - Music
Source text - English The most important thing to learn about singing is breathing. Lulu is really strict about standing up straight—aren’t you, Lulu? “Absolutely. Deportment is very important. I always stand in front of my students—as I did with you—and show them how to stand. We do ballerina poses. The students always think they’re very funny. You have to keep the pelvis nice and square and breath into the diaphragm, which is just below the chest, and not breathe into the chest. That’s why I get my students to put their hands on their ribs to see if their rib cages expand properly. It will increase the more properly they breathe. When you first came to me, you had a chest voice. That was the first mistake. That was why, even though you could belt out your songs, you only had a little bit of air to work with.” “Okay, so after breathing, what came next? I can’t remember.” “You got the breathing no problem. What was amazing was then you wanted to know how to get your voice from your neck to the front of your face. This is what classically trained singers are taught to do—to sing and talk from their cheekbones. I have students twice your age who can’t hear the difference. And you were all of ten and a half. “So I showed you how us oldies do it—and you just did it. You always were a very good mimic, which is another good quality a singer needs to have. And now you could make what we call a ‘round’ sound instead of an ‘airy’ sound.”	Translation - Chinese 學唱歌最重要的一件事就是「呼吸」。露露嚴格規定要把背挺直－－不是嗎？露露。「絕對要把背挺直。『台風』很重要。我都是站在學生面前－－就像我站在妳面前一樣，示範他們怎麼站好。我們採取芭蕾女伶的姿勢，學生通常會覺得自己很好笑。」「妳必須把骨盆保持在正確位置，不偏不倚，然後用橫隔膜來呼吸，橫隔膜就在胸部下面，不可以用胸部呼吸。所以我要學生把手放在肋骨上，好看看他們的肋骨是否有正確的擴張，這個方法能幫助他們更正確的呼吸。」「妳第一次來唱歌時聲音是從胸腔出來，這是不對的。這就是為什麼妳能唱出很宏亮、很有力，卻只用到一點點空氣的原因。」「OK，講完了呼吸的事。接下來的事呢？因為我記不清楚了。」「妳學會了呼吸的方法。讓人驚訝的是，妳想要知道怎樣讓聲音從頸部走到臉的前面。這是古典聲樂家被教導的方式－－用雙頰來說話或唱歌。我有年紀比妳大兩倍的學生，但是他們聽不出差別在哪裡，而當時妳還不到十一歲呢！」「所以我就示範了大人是怎麼個唱法－－然後妳就照做了。妳總是很擅長模仿，這是歌手必備的良好條件之一。現在妳已經可以唱出我們所謂的『飽滿』的聲音，而不是一種『空洞』的聲音。」

English to Chinese: Georg Jensen 100 Years Silver design & Danish Art - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Source text - English Summer “Silver is the best metal we have, and the most beautiful... and silver has that lovely moonlight quality…something of the light of a Danish summer night, silver can appear as dusk and, when dew falls, it can look like magical mist…” Gerog Jensen 1926 In a way Georg Jensen’s sense of silver reflects the sense of colour, mood, and form evident in Scandinavian art and design. Matter itself: the tactile materiality of nature, the texture of paintings, and silver become motifs and subjects in their own right. The first room of the labyrinth is filled with clear, bright summer light. Impressions from our organic surroundings are transformed into images and figures. The paintings investigate how nature’s phenomena affect us: the light in our eyes; the power of saturated colour. The silver pieces on the other side celebrate the worlds of flora and fauna with decorations and ornaments that are both lavish and true to nature. Light and colour enters the design via the clean surfaces and the moonstones, amber, agates, and opals set in the silver. Texture and tactility make their appearance in the weave-like structures, the many appendages, and the arabesque-like reliefs.	Translation - Chinese 盛夏「銀是我們擁有最好、最美的材質…銀還具有可愛的質地…有時宛如丹麥夏夜之光、看似薄暮，當拂曉降臨、朝露欲滴之時，卻又顯得神秘矇矓…」喬治傑生 1926 展場迷宮的第一間展覽室，充滿了清亮耀眼的夏光。來自我們周遭大自然環境的印象，轉化為形象與圖案。展出的繪畫，展現了大自然現象如何影響我們的研究作品：眼裡所見的光線、飽滿色彩的力量，都在在影響著我們。展場另一邊的銀器，則以裝飾和點綴手法來歌頌動植物世界，以華美卻也真實的手法描繪出大自然。透過乾淨無暇的表面及鑲嵌於銀製品的月光石、琥珀、瑪瑙和蛋白石，光與色彩進駐到設計之中。在曲折宛轉的結構、其它附加物與花飾的浮雕中，呈現出質地與觸感。
English to Chinese: A History of Celibacy - History
Source text - English Give Me Chastity…but Not Yet Augustine’s youthful plea—“Lord, give me chastity and continence, but not yet”—is perhaps the Christian world’s most famous prayer. Since he said it, it has resonated down through the centuries and made Augustine a soul mate in human love, confusion and good intentions. Which one of us has not, at least once, translated his appeal into his own life, if not with chastity, then with other cherished sins? Augustine was a privileged, educated young man whose long life, 354 to 430, covered some of Christianity’s most interesting transformations and movements, including the fourth-century monastic revolution. He himself, as a brilliant and devout Catholic, arguably the greatest of the Church Fathers, was enormously influential in shaping orthodox theology, especially on the subject of celibacy. For at least a decade, celibacy was very little on Augustine’s mind. He was intensely religious and belonged to the Manichean Christian sect, later regarded as heretical. Mani, its founder, had lived and died—by crucifixion—in southern Babylonia from 216 to 277. His religion drew from Gnosticism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and Greek philosophy, had a hierarchy and apostles, and was inspired by the doctrine contained in the several books of Mani.	Translation - Chinese 請賜我貞潔……但是，現在還不要奧古斯汀年輕時代的祈求－－「主啊！請賜我貞潔與自制，但是，現在還不要」，也許是基督教界裡最知名的禱文。自從他做了如是禱告，千百年來共鳴不止，奧古斯汀成了人類愛慾、迷惑與善意的靈魂伴侶。我們哪個人不曾將他的祈求看做是他自身生活的寫照？他若不是過著貞潔的生活，就是還有難以割捨的罪。奧古斯汀來自特權階級並受過教育，他的生命橫跨西元三五年到四三○年，經歷過基督教最精采的轉變過程，包括第四世紀的隱修運動。奧古斯汀本人為聰明而虔誠的天主教徒，也是頗受爭議、最偉大的教父，對傳統神學論的形成有相當影響力。奧古斯汀原本對於守身是不怎麼放在心上的，這至少有十年之久。他熱心於信仰，皈依摩尼教派，該教後來卻被視為異端邪教。摩尼教的創始者摩尼在南巴比倫尼亞活動，也在當地被釘上十字架殉難。摩尼教擷取諾智派、基督教、祆教與希臘哲學各家菁華為己用，有階級組織與使徒，並以摩尼所著七本書的教義為啟發。
Chinese to English: 畫家作品介紹 - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Source text - Chinese 東方的黑與西方的金，分別代表兩種特殊的文化意義，在王懷慶的《金石為開》作品中巧妙融合一體。對他而言，黑、白或是金，都是色彩！王懷慶向來鍾愛古典人文精神，經常取材自中國典籍成語作為標題，例如：「天工開物」、「大音無聲」以及「金石為開」等，成語的標題本身極富有抽象意義。有中國工藝百科全書之稱的《天工開物》，是王懷慶特別喜愛的一本典籍，他讚揚書中蘊藏著中國人的古老智慧。「金石為開」的典故則是出自《後漢書》，所謂「精誠所至，金石為開」。只要人有誠心，就能撼動天地，金石為之開裂。無論此一成語，抑或是此一幅巨畫，都是藝術家旨於振奮人心，挑戰自我的實現。可以想見，王懷慶的藝術追尋，正是如同劈開堅硬金石之意志。畫家創作《金石為開》三聯畫時，經過許多內心掙扎，後來他成功地威尼斯金的拼貼作底，形成一大片金黃莊嚴，極有力度的黑色在其間揮灑、迸裂。大塊的黑、散開的黑，由濃到疏，富有韻律，氣勢寬宏如史詩般地壯闊。在象徵王者與永恆的黑色與金色的構成裡，王懷慶的藝術得以跨越時空，自信而豪放屹立不搖。	Translation - English The color black of the East and the color gold of the West, represent two special cultures individually; however, these two elements were integrated skillfully in Wang’s “Gold Stone.” To Wang, black, white or gold are all colors! Wang always had a fondness for the spirit of classical culture. He quotes Chinese ancient books and phrases in the titles of his works, such as “Tiangongkaiwu,” “the great sound is silence” (words from Lao-tzu) and “gold stones.” The phrases in the titles contain abstract meanings. Tiangongkaiwu, the so-called “techniques encyclopedia” of China, is a book that is especially beloved by Wang, he acclaimed this book as rich in old Chinese wisdom. “Gold Stone” originates from the “Book of Later Han” from which the quotation is “the utmost sincerity can influence even bronze and stone.” A person who is really earnest and sincere may cause a great sensation—shake the mountains and hills, breaking bronze and stone. Considering either this title phrase or this giant painting itself, the artist hopes to hearten people on and challenge themselves. You can imagine Wang pursues art with the will to split stones. While the artist was creating the “Gold Stone” Triptych, he experienced a difficult struggle in his heart. He used Venice gold as a collage on the background successfully, that made a big piece of majestic gold, and the powerful black painted on freely and bursting open inside. Big blocks of black, the scatterings of black, from strong and thick to sparse and thin, full of rhythm, with great momentum like an epic full of grandness. In the composition black and gold symbolize king and eternity. Wang’s art crosses time and space, with confidence, bold and constrained, standing mighty.

Among those three treasures, there is an anecdote regarding black tea and orchids. The Conversation Between Flower and Tea Various orchids in the Yuchi town have been used in combination to create floral arrangements; and alternatively, a flowerpot showing the beauty of a single orchid with its own theme, is often arranged with a unique idea. So, when the orchid viewing and black tea are enjoyed together, diverse tea-drinking themes arise and make the visitors feel the purity and freshness of the spring flowers, as well as the floral fragrance which is full of sunshine and life force. In this pleasant atmosphere people relax and enjoy a cup of black tea with its aroma. Plus the Black Tea biscuits which are elaborately baked with black tea as an ingredient, crisp yet not greasy. All this doubles the joy! The Representative of Black Tea Culture－－Ms Lee, Su-hong Ms Lee, a woman generous, straightforward and tender at heart, throws her passion into the world of tea, demonstrating that “the devoted woman is most beautiful. ” From the world of flowers and plants to the world of black tea, all the way along, Ms Lee has concentrated her attention on tea and with no regrets; so she becomes the messenger to hand on the black tea culture from one generation to the next. Offering a cup of nice tea, telling you that good black tea is in Yuchi: this comes of Ms. Lee’s immutable love of her hometown and black tea.

About me

I started my freelance career as a translator, working mostly for publishers and focusing on Humanities fields. I also wrote travel press and translated Festival reports from English to Traditional Chinese for Travelmate.com.tw (website closed at the end of 2004). Meanwhile, I also do proofreading and revision for my clients. Starting from 2004, I have had an ongoing contract with a localization company as one of their freelance translators. Most projects are mainly for website localization, marketing promotions, company training manuals, software localization and, on occasion, some legal documents.
Starting from 2007, I have another ongoing contract with a subtitle company which is located in Italy.

Before being a freelancer, I had working experience as an editor for Journalist Weekly which is a political-economic oriented magazine, as a contracted editor and administrative assistant for Veda Ltd. which is a public relations consultant, and as an assistant to the marketing manager for Disney Enterprises (Taiwan Branch).

Since June, 2007, my friend, who is an English native speaker, and I have been offering Chinese-English translation services as a team. So far, we have done various projects; the fields have included organizational profiles, artists' profiles, press releases, marketing documents, product manuals, transcription and so on...The translation service with a native Mandarin speaker and a native English speaker, deliver a double-security on the quality. It means you have one translator who does the translation and also a proofer ensuring an accurate, properly-stated translation.
