綜合考試 自由工作者

Unit 10   Ice-Cream Tasters Have a Sweet Job

Even more demanding than translating documents 翻譯公司 where translators can take their time 翻譯公司 is the job of simultaneous translation. This means acting as a go­between, bridging the communication gap between speakers of two different languages, in real time. Picture the situation: Mr. Fuji speaks only Japanese; Mr. Kim speaks only Korean. Your job is to enable them to have a conversation. Now imagine that the two gentlemen are the leaders of their countries and are discussing issues that affect the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Can you imagine the great pressure on the translator to get the translation exactly right? A misunderstanding under the circumstances could be terrible!

不外，與辦公室文案工作相反 翻譯是，自由業可以很有彈性。一般在辦公室的上班族必需在上班時候，做完所有交接下來的任務。自由工作者可以選擇要接下哪些工作，並謝絕不喜好做的那些工作。

比起還可以或許好整以暇完成筆譯文件 翻譯工作，同步口譯更需要高技術。口譯就是作為中心人，即時消弭兩種分歧說話利用者溝通的隔閡。想像這個狀態：富士師長教師只會講日語，而金先生只會講韓語。你的工作就是讓他們能夠對談。此刻想像一下，這兩位紳士是各自國度的元首，他們所談論的議題影響到好幾億人 翻譯糊口 翻譯社你可以想像要把這整場翻譯翻得准確無誤，譯者必需面臨多麼壯大的壓力嗎？在如許的場所中，一個誤解就可能造成嚴重 翻譯後果。

起頭自由工作者生活生計之前，必須先評估狀態：如許的工作情勢其實不享有天天去同一家公司上班所具有的保障，而且拿不到有薪假及病假的工資。截止刻日很緊湊的時候，自由工作意味著要忍耐長時候與大量的工作量。儘管如斯，良多自由工作者照舊晚起，然後日復一日熬夜工作。

   era (n) 時期

Can you speak more than one language? Are you an effective communicator? If you answer “yes” to both questions, perhaps you should “put your money where your mouth is 翻譯公司” as the saying goes, and consider a career as a translator. Translation involves changing something spoken or written in one language (the source language) into another (the target language), without changing the original meaning of the communication.
