A colleague recently commented that, ‘translators know things that almost nobody else knows’, and that’s what I love most about my job. I’ve translated brochures about pneumatic trash collection systems, cards for a zombie-themed role-playing game, reports about polio vaccination programs and the autobiography of a Sherpa from the 1950s. Very few people ever learn about these topics, much less get paid to read and write about them; that’s why being a translator is the best job for people who love languages!
我有个同事最近评价:“一个翻译知道的东西,别人几乎都没听说过”,这就是我最喜欢翻译的地方。我曾经译过气动垃圾收集系统的简介,僵尸主题的角色扮演游戏卡片,小儿麻痹疫苗项目的研究报告,甚至还有一位50后夏尔巴人的自传!这些课题甚至很少有人听过,更别说有人付钱请你去阅读和书写了。所以,对语言爱好者来说,翻译是最好的工作!

They say reading offers you windows to other worlds. With translation, I get to build those windows for other people, one sentence at a time. Sometimes, I even get to build doors – for refugees looking for a safer place to raise a family, for inventors seeking buyers or producers for their new technology, for international couples preparing to commit to a life together. It’s an honor to be involved in such pivotal moments of strangers’ lives.
