English to German: Feature story about Sydney
Source text - English At the Helm: Yachting on Sydney’s Harbour There are few bodies of water that convey a sense of place as well as Sydney Harbour, with its famous bridge and Sydney Opera House at the forefront. The views of those iconic sights while strolling Sydney on foot are undeniably spectacular, but they pale in comparison to the vista from the water itself. "Sydney has the largest natural harbour in the world, and the skyline is absolutely stunning," says Rick Rodwell, managing director at Sunseeker East Coast, Australia. "There are plenty of little bays and retreats to enjoy, or you can sip champagne in the cockpit of your motor yacht." Sunseeker offers yacht charters and rentals, complete with crew. "When someone hires a Sunseeker motor yacht, they have incredible freedom to explore and enjoy the natural beauty of the sea,” says Rodwell. “You don't have to know anything about yachting—our yachts have professional skippers so all you have to do is sit back and relax." The comfort and flexibility of yacht travel, Rodwell adds, makes it a popular choice for families.	Translation - German Übernehmen Sie das Ruder: Bootstouren in Sydney Mit seinem Blick auf das Opera House und die berühmte Harbour Bridge vermittelt der Hafen von Sydney eine einmalige Atmosphäre. Auch bei einem Spaziergang durch die Stadt kommt man nicht umhin, diese weltberühmten Werke der modernen Baukunst zu bewundern. Am spektakulärsten ist ihr Anblick jedoch vom Wasser aus. „Sydney hat den größten natürlichen Hafen der Welt, und die Skyline ist einfach umwerfend“, schwärmt Rick Rodwell, Managing Director von Sunseeker East Coast. „Es gibt zahlreiche kleine Buchten und abgelegene Strände, die zum Verweilen einladen – mit einem Glas Champagner an Bord Ihrer Yacht runden Sie den Ausflug ab.“ Bei Sunseeker können Sie Yachten chartern, auf Wunsch mit Besatzung. „Wer bei uns eine Motoryacht mietet, kann die unendliche Schönheit des Meeres auf eigene Faust erkunden und genießen“, so Rodwell. „Wenn Sie noch nie eine Yacht gesteuert haben, können Sie einen unserer professionellen Skipper anheuern, damit Sie sich auf See entspannt zurücklehnen können. Yachtreisen vereinen Komfort und Flexibilität und sind daher bei Familien äußerst beliebt“, fügt Rodwell hinzu.

English to German: Summary of Financial Results
Source text - English Financial results – first half of 2007 Overall in the first half of 2007 we made great progress towards reaching our end of year goal of building a significant card business outside the UK. We posted a PBT (profit before tax) of £302m which is a 77% increase on H2 2006. This result contains some significant achievements, as well as some areas where we need to focus our attention in the second half of the year. Western Europe • New cards recruited across the four major markets in Europe (Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal) for January to June totalled 189,300. • Income for H1 2007 in Europe was 19% up on the same period in 2006 at £113 million. Against our STP, Europe was actually £13.9 million behind plan, and this shortfall is driven by lower ECT (extended credit takers) balances across Spain, Italy and Germany, combined with a high level of dormant accounts • As a result of reduced income however, impairment has declined by £11.2 million to compensate. Germany demonstrated a strong collection performance whilst Italy had predominantly lower outstanding balances and some improvements in the delinquency rates (customers defaulting on payments). • Overall cost reductions also provided a further benefit of £6.5 million against the STP.	Translation - German Finanzergebnisse für die erste Jahreshälfte 2007 In der ersten Hälfte 2007 haben wir in Bezug auf unser Ziel, bis zum Jahresende das Kartengeschäft außerhalb Großbritanniens auszubauen, große Fortschritte gemacht. Das Unternehmen erzielte einen Gewinn vor Steuern in Höhe von 302 Mio. GBP, was einem ein Plus von 77 % gegenüber der zweiten Jahreshälfte 2006 entspricht. Hinter diesem Ergebnis stehen wichtige Leistungen, wobei wir jedoch einigen Bereichen in der zweiten Hälfte unsere Aufmerksamkeit widmen müssen. Westeuropa • Von Januar bis Juni wurden in den vier größten Märkten Europas (Deutschland, Italien, Spanien und Portugal) insgesamt 189.300 neue Karten ausgegeben. • Im ersten Halbjahr 2007 übertrafen wir in Europa den Gewinn des Vergleichszeitraums im Vorjahr um 113 Mio. GBP oder 19 %. Dennoch blieben wir in Europa um 13,9 Mio. GBP hinter den Vorgaben unseres kurzfristigen Plans (short-term plan, STP) zurück. Der Grund dafür waren niedrigere ausstehende Kreditkartenbeträge in Spanien, Italien und Deutschland sowie eine große Anzahl inaktiver Konten. • Angesichts der sinkenden Gewinnzahlen ist die Wertminderung dafür jedoch um 11,2 Mio. GBP gefallen. Deutschland zeigte eine starke Entwicklung bei den Inkasso-Dienstleistungen, während in Italien überwiegend niedrigere Beträge ausstanden und die Zahlungsversäumnisse der Kunden abnahmen. • Allgemeine Kostenreduzierungen sorgten für weitere Einsparungen in Höhe von 6,5 Mio GBP.

WORKING IN "DOWN UNDER"
Although I work and live in New Zealand – many say "at the end of the world" – it is easy to contact me. Simply send an e-mail with your inquiry to anne.spitzmueller @ googlemail.com. During my working hours from 9 am to 6 pm (London time: 10 pm to 7 am) I make an effort to reply to all queries within 30 minutes. E-mails that arrive outside my working hours will be answered the next morning.

I mainly work for clients in Europe, North and South America and the United Kingdom and the time difference is an advantage, since I start work, when it’s night in Europe and the day draws to a close in the US.
