Do you work to live or live
to work?
It is not easy to be a self-employed or freelance translator. You
always have to work constantly to save enough reserve for the slow
week or month, and pay on-time all your bills, among which the
health insurance bill is the largest one in my case. As a single
mid-aged man, my premium bill went up to $365.00 per month from
this year. I knew some freelance translators decide to drop the
health insurance all together. That is not a wise decision in my
opinion. There are so many health insurance products, and you got
to select one that is reasonable to your situation.
黄佶的论文摘要：
“龙” 不应该翻译成 dragon。Dragon 的本意是凶残的有翼巨兽、恶魔、悍妇等。中国人在外国人面前自称 dragon，是自我妖魔化。“龙”也不应该翻译成 long。Long 的英文发音不是“龙”，而是“狼”，这不是真正的音译。“龙”应该翻译成 loong，它的发音和“龙”相近，在英文中本来就是“龙”字的音译，如著名武术家李小龙的英文名字是“Lee Siu Loong”。有些西方人也把龙称为 loong。Loong 的两个“O”字母象龙的两只眼睛，loong 使人联想到 long(长)，所以它也是一个象形文字，和汉字特色相通。而 long 在形象上是独眼龙。本文归纳了龙和 Dragon 之间最重要
我常常听到大陆的朋友说如何向往拥有一辆自己的汽车，这辈子也算潇洒走一回了。我还记得自己拥有第一辆汽车时的感觉。现在回想起来，它就像一个初恋的情人一样，感觉好极了。我的第一辆汽车虽然是个二手车，别人都不拿它当回事儿，可我还是小心奕奕的，平时停车都选在远离别人汽车的地方，生怕被别人把我的车碰坏。周末还喜欢擦车洗车，比骆驼祥子得到第一辆黄包车还兴奋。
在美国生活多年之后，再加上回国看到公路、停车、汽油、空气污染给人民带来的痛苦和烦恼，我就开始确信：中国切勿走西方汽车发展的老路。中国政府应该严格控制国内汽车销售。大力发展地铁、公共汽车、轻轨电车，以及出租汽车行业，让每个城市都形成自己完善的四通八达的
经过大家的分析和研判，我明白了很多。我的确在两个月前，为我的网站换了寄存东家。原来的那家公司为我服务了五年，从来没有过问题，只是服务价格越来越贵，我就换到美国Network Solutions公司，结果成本降了一半。但是万万没有想到讨了便宜之后会遭遇这样的尴尬和烦恼。Network Solutions公司
As an interpreter, it is always a nerve-racking job to interpret for a press conference, let alone the speaker is an important political figure. Have you ever being corrected by a speaker like that in front of the audiences? I agree that the speaker has the final interpretation power in terms of how his or her words should be interpreted. What if the translation that the speaker suggested or imposed on cannot top the translation you previously delivered? To fight with such a speaker, you are actually fighting a losing battle.
It happened to me once in the past. Lately, when I was watching the press conference on CCTV4, Mr. Li Zhaoxing did it to his interpreter. I found it was totally unnecessary. His interpreter was so beautiful and superb with her interpretation job. I was very impressed that
One day I was talking on the phone and having dinner at the same time, I heard the strangers were talking in my living room. I knew my door was locked and why I heard someone talking. It turned out that a realtor was showing the house to his customer and did not realize I, the owner, was in the room. It turned out he used the key in the realtor lockbox. Thank goodness, I was decent at that moment. So far 8 buyers came and checked it out, there is no offer yet. I hope it will not drag too long. I am just looking for that one perfect buye
我们放弃对时代的追求，就会被时代所淘汰。要与时俱进，活出精彩，就要对这个时代的人和事拥有及时的了解和敏锐的观察，并对新技术和新思想保持浓厚的兴趣。我是一个不满足现状的人，追求的就是与众不同。身居美国二十年，对身边的一切都充满着兴趣和激情。通过多年的观察和思考，
