Chinese to English: 筑梦南极 The Antarctic Dream General field: Science Detailed field: Media / Multimedia
Source text - Chinese 陨石是人类唯一可以在地球获取的，外天体物质样本，南极纯净的环境为这些天外来客，提供了理想的保鲜场所，迄今为止，各国在南极收集陨石总数，有三万多块，超过了全球收集的陨石碎块总数的三分之二。1998年中国的科学家，以单车冒进的方式来到了南极内陆格罗夫山区。拉开了中国人在南极收集陨石的帷幕。
Translation - English Meteorites are natural objects from outer space that have survived impact with the surface of Earth. The unique environment in Antarctica proves to be a perfect place to preserve these alien visitors. So far, the world has collected more than 30,000 meteorite specimens in Antarctica, representing over two-thirds of the global collection. In 1998, a small group of Chinese scientists made a risky decision to enter the Grove Mountains, initiating China’s search for meteorites in inland Antarctica.
For those who have never been to Antarctica, it is very difficult to imagine just how vast and barren the white continent is. And for those who are fortunate enough to set foot on this land, it is very easy to realize just how small and insignificant a person can be.
English to Chinese: Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at the close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray,
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Translation - Chinese 一定要作垂死挣扎
汤迪伦
一定要作垂死挣扎，
老了更应怒发冲冠，
面对死亡破口大骂。
智者虽知这是回家，
平生所述不值一钱，
一定要作垂死挣扎。
仁者没顶之前哭傻，
好心行善也上西天，
面对死亡破口大骂。
狂者欢度似水年华，
到头方悔光阴似箭，
一定要作垂死挣扎。
病者盲眼闪烁星花，
回光返照昙花一现，
面对死亡破口大骂。
请你，伤悲至极的老爸，
抛洒热泪将我浸淹。
一定要作垂死挣扎，
面对死亡破口大骂。

Experience
Years of experience: 33. Registered at ProZ.com: Jul 2015.
Educated in China and the states, I have published in both Chinese and English, including poems, essays, literary translations, as well as book chapters on religion/spirituality and international development. A philosophical fiction with autobiographical elements entitled The Little Princess was published in China in November 2010. A professional news translator for many years, I now offer high-quality freelancing services to complement the satisfaction of keeping a demanding day job as a policy analyst. While I often find translating materials of a literary nature the most rewarding experience, I have also had a great amount of fun dealing with subjects as diverse as life itself: snacks, ethnic minorities, history, politics, polar explorations, the Silk Road, military weapons, etc. One learns as much as one translates.
