English to Cantonese (Yue Chinese): A part of first chapter of a story book
Source text - English Chapter One.
To save a Comrade.
A sharp volley, which ran echoing along the ravine, then another, just as the faint bluish smoke from some hundred or two muskets floated up into the bright sunshine from amidst the scattered chestnuts and cork-trees that filled the lower part of the beautiful gorge, where, now hidden, now flashing out and scattering the rays of the sun, a torrent roared and foamed along its rocky course onward towards its junction with the great Spanish river whose destination was the sea.
Again another ragged volley; and this was followed by a few dull, heavy sounding single shots, which came evidently from a skirmishing party which was working its way along the steep slope across the river.
There was no responsive platoon reply to the volley, but the skirmishing shots were answered directly by crack! crack! crack! the reports that sounded strangely different to those heavy, dull musket-shots which came from near at hand, and hardly needed glimpses of dark-green uniforms that dotted the hither slope of the mountain-side to proclaim that they were delivered by riflemen who a few minutes before were, almost in single line, making their way along a rugged mountain-path.
A second glance showed that they formed the rear-guard of a body of
sharpshooters, beyond whom in the distance could be made out now and then glints of bright scarlet, which at times looked almost orange in the brilliant sunshine-orange flashed with silver, as the sun played upon musket-barrel and fixed bayonet more than shoulder-high.
The country Spain, amidst the towering Pyrenees; the scarlet that of a
British column making its way along a rugged mule-path, from which
those that traversed it looked down upon a scene of earthly beauty, and upwards at the celestial blue, beyond which towered the rugged peaks

Bio
Hello,
My name is Calvin Cheung. I born in Hong Kong and grew up there. My native language is Cantonese. I am able to read and write in Chinese (both Simplified/Traditional). During university times, I studied Mandarin for 8 months. Therefore, I have medium knowledge communicating in Mandarin.
I immigrated to Canada in 1996. So, I have been living in Canada for more than 25 years. I am excellent in English and Chinese (both written and verbal).
In 2015, I started my translation services as my side job. So, I had over eight years of professional translation experience with different companies and industries around the world. During
these years, I thrivedthe
following regrading translation services:
• Carefully reviewed and
thoroughly researched the relevant “to-be-translated” material according to specific translation guidelines to ensure the material was legal,
accurate and meet particular translation standard before translation.
• Estimated the timeline to
finish translating the material and negotiated with corresponding clients the
exact deadline and the corresponding prices.
• Resolved translation issues
by suggested feasible solutions with clients during translations period.
• Successfully translated over
200 materials (English to/from Traditional/Simplified Chinese)
including education newsletters, novels, books, song's lyrics, medical
forms, condominium notices, marketing material, technical user manuals,
booklets, driver licence and more.
The sizes were from one page to over 1,000 pages which was approximately a typical novel.
• Kept the exact original
meaning after each translation; proofread every translation thoroughly (check
for grammatical mistakes and typos) before submit to clients; finished every
translation on time with exceptional quality to ensure customers’ satisfaction.
• Offered negotiable and
reasonable prices for all my valued clients.
Attached are some translation samples I did for my
previous clients. If you or your friends are interested in
translating written material from English to Chinese and vice versa, I am here
for help.
