English to Chinese: Translation of Excerpt from Charlotte Alter's Article published on TIME General field: Other Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - English Donald Trump tends to get personal when he’s striking back at someone who has criticized him. But when his critics are women, those terms often include broad smears of their sexual behavior.
In Trump’s battery of insults, there are two kinds of women: those who have too much sex, and those who don’t have enough.
Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton have inhabited either edge of this Trump spectrum. In a series of early-morning tweets Friday morning, Trump called former Miss Universe and new Clinton campaign asset Alicia Machado “disgusting” and urged his followers to look up her “sex tape.”
Early last year, Trump retweeted an apparent joke that compared Hillary Clinton’s ability to serve as President to her ability to sexually please her husband: “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America?” He later deleted the tweet.
In both cases, Trump targeted his opponents according to the classic double-bind of expectations for adult women: They can be called a slut for having sex, or pathetic and frigid if they don’t. Add to that another old sexist trope: If a man cheats on you, it’s your fault.

English to Chinese: Translation of Excerpt from Holly Seddon's novel "Try Not to Breathe" General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English Music thudded through Amy's body and seized her heart. Music so loud that her eardrums pounded in frenzy and her baby bird ribs rattled. Music was everything. Well, almost everything.
Later the newspapers would call fifteen-year-old Amy Stevenson a ‘ray of sunshine’, with ‘everything to live for’. Her headphones buzzed with Britpop as she trudged the long way home, rucksack sagging.
Amy had a boyfriend, Jake. He loved her and she loved him. They had been together for nearly eight months, walking the romance route around the 'top field' at school during break time, hot hand in hot hand, fast hearts synchronized.
Amy had two best friends: Jenny and Becky. The trio danced in a perpetual whirlpool of backstories, competition and gossip. Dizzying trails of ‘she-said-he-said-she-said' preceded remorseful, sobbing hugs at the end of every drunken Saturday night.
Translation - Chinese 音樂震透艾美全身，攫住她的心臟。聲音好大，她耳膜發了瘋似的跟著突突跳動。胸肋如雛鳥般的細骨咯咯作響。音樂就是一切。或者該說，幾乎是一切。
