what am i doing recently Recently, i've been studying translation because i'm going to learn to how to translate in the coming semster. At first, i was practicing in short-term memory. For example, i need to repeat what the person says in the video after he speaks for a while. It's really difficult for me, for i can understand what the person wants to express instead of remembering every exact word he says. Besides, I need to recite a number of words in differenct fields. Let's say, there's a report on the work of the government each year and the premier would give the review of the work in the past year. The translator needs to translate words like" Twelfth Five-Year-Plan", "grain output", "socialist modernization" and "the per capita disponsable income" etc. Therefore, what i should do is just remerber them as possible as i can! Finally, i have to learn to how to take notes by using different strange signs. Being a translator is really a tough job which requires the persistence and diligence. :0
