Source text - English The Beginning
All in a moment, years ago,
The boy I was became a man:
Suddenly my life began!
I saw the world before meโ So
That ploughman by his horses stands
Sweating on the first hill's brow,
Having left the riverlands
Furrowed in the vale below,
And sees a mountainside to plough,
Barren rock to blunt his share,
Thunder hanging in the air,
And the black peak above him, bare,
Waiting now.
โLet him plough it if he dare!
English to Korean: 25th translation contest: "Alien first impressions" General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Linguistics
Source text - English Imagine dining in a European capital where you do not know the local language. The waiter speaks little English, but by hook or by crook you manage to order something on the menu that you recognise, eat and pay for. Now picture instead that, after a hike goes wrong, you emerge, starving, in an Amazonian village. The people there have no idea what to make of you. You mime chewing sounds, which they mistake for your primitive tongue. When you raise your hands to signify surrender, they think you are launching an attack.
Communicating without a shared context is hard. For example, radioactive sites must be left undisturbed for tens of thousands of years; yet, given that the English of just 1,000 years ago is now unintelligible to most of its modern speakers, agencies have struggled to create warnings to accompany nuclear waste. Committees responsible for doing so have come up with everything from towering concrete spikes, to Edvard Munchโs โThe Screamโ, to plants genetically modified to turn an alarming blue. None is guaranteed to be future-proof.
Some of the same people who worked on these waste-site messages have also been part of an even bigger challenge: communicating with extraterrestrial life. This is the subject of โExtraterrestrial Languagesโ, a new book by Daniel Oberhaus, a journalist at Wired.
Nothing is known about how extraterrestrials might take in information. A pair of plaques sent in the early 1970s with Pioneer 10 and 11, two spacecraft, show nude human beings and a rough map to find Earthโrudimentary stuff, but even that assumes aliens can see. Since such craft have no more than an infinitesimal chance of being found, radio broadcasts from Earth, travelling at the speed of light, are more likely to make contact. But just as a terrestrial radio must be tuned to the right frequency, so must the interstellar kind. How would aliens happen upon the correct one? The Pioneer plaque gives a hint in the form of a basic diagram of a hydrogen atom, the magnetic polarity of which flips at regular intervals, with a frequency of 1,420MHz. Since hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, the hope is that this sketch might act as a sort of telephone number.

Dedication is continuing even when your pain has pain
Sweat is your body crying tears of joy
A better you is a few steps away
How are you feeling today?
One step at a time
Never run out of steam
Today, sweat is in session
Hi there.
Glad you're back.
Shoes tied?
Let's go.
There's a bear behind you.
Just kidding.
But seriously, run.
Let's take some steps to reaching your potential
Keep going, it only hurts to stop

โAverage managers play checkers while great managers play chess.
The difference?
In checkers, all the pieces are uniform and move in the same way; they are interchangeable.
You need to plan and coordinate their movements, certainly, but they all move at the same pace, on parallel paths.
In chess, each type of piece moves in a different way, and you canโt play if you donโt know how each piece moves.
More important, you wonโt win if you donโt think carefully about how you move the pieces.
Great managers know and value the unique abilities and even the eccentricities of their employees, and they learn how best to integrate them into a coordinated plan of attack.โ

Source text - English What a great way to kick off a new year by exciting the world with our latest innovations and fresh new products.
Of the thousands of products at the Consumer Electronics Show this year, Lenovo truly stood out, with 66 Awards to date, with products that will help set the tone in technology for the next 12 months.
Standing out; the media deemed the new Think X1 family drool-worthy, the new Yoga 900S super-thin convertible as an eye-popping Ultrabook, cool gamer appeal with the Y Series, fresh desktop designs in ideacentre and ThinkCentre and kudoโs for a number of clever accessories such as the YOGA Mouse.
Overall Lenovo CES 2016 takes from the media:
โThis is the company who popularized 2-in-1โs with the Yoga line, put a tablet battery into the hinge, and recently added Pico projectors to tablet models- they arenโt afraid to take a few risks. This ideology was most perfectly exemplified in their X1 lineโ _Forbes

Korean to English: CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program (CAPWAP) General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Engineering: Industrial
Translation - English The accelerometer and extensometer established 1.5 - 2.0 D away from a test pile head transfer the impact acceleration and dynamic strain values of an impact pile driving hammer respectively to Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) as electric data, which will be processed and saved to accordingly calculate frictional force and pile end bearing capacity around the pile.
Through CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program (CAPWAP), an ideal soil constant is obtained and substituted to calculate the measured impact force of the hammer, which should be adjusted so that the impact load vs. time graph matches the experimented impact load vs. time graph. If the calculations from this analysis procedures match, then it indicates that the analysis model is the same as the field ground surrounding a pile. Therefore, this concludes that it accounts for ultimate static bearing capacity.

Translation - English A nonlinear analysis research performed on this study showed that regardless of the macroscopic modeling method in this study, the slender reinforced concrete walls have a similar hysteric behavior and its vertical resistance capacity indicated negligible difference. However, LSW3, which belongs to low walls, revealed rather underestimated result in case of not considering the diagonal web shear. It means that for any structure which has low walls, its modeling method affects significantly the assessment of their vertical resisting capacity.

Before then, after graduating from university (majored in Electronics Engineering; TOEIC 99th percentile then, English self-taught; started paid translation in freshman year), worked for a Korean telecom enterprise for 11 years mostly as network engineer (technical support; former CCNP; co-translated a CCNA certificate guide book) and then as server admin (IPTV headend server farms). I also worked as white collar in international leased line business unit, legitimate unit (domestic only), satellite control center, and business helpdesk contact center.
I think that I am a quick learner even in my 50-somethings.
