Library and Me （20 entries in total） I'm also preparing for CATTI exams（China Accreditation Test for Translators and Interpreters） so I'm reading some good proses. It would be great to do some translation work on them for those examinees who wants to get a good score or just want to improve the English skills. I tried some translation on a Chinese novel called Idle Away into English but failed. It's kind of too difficult for me. Those proses are written by kinds of scholars or well known writers in China, but are translated into English all by a man named ZHANG Peiji. Though there would certainly be other versions by different translators. I'd translate them first and then compare to ZHANG's works to see the gap. The proses would not be long, but still longer than the letter limit in italki, so I would simplify the contents and leave the main ideas there. And for myself's sake, I would use simple words rather than some "literarial" words. And the reason is simple: I'm not able to. Hope I will not give up halfway.
