my 3rd notebook entry~ Good times always slip away through our fingers and everytime leaves us keep recalling the beautiful moments in life and smile.I've been busy with an intern recently and luckily I'm a student interpreter for the CISME fair for one Thai corporation. I had a very good experience with the Thai and they're very nice and friendly people!~:)) I got to know many people there though I can only speak "hello" in their language...But sometimes I'm confused about the Thai-accent english, which made me kind of nervous and became worried if i couldnt understand them...-.- Truth is i did at times get them wrong-.- It's the first time for me to get involved in a business negotiation or talk..I'm still inexperienced, that's too bad, But anyway they're overall satisfied with my "bad" performance , thanks for them~ Apart from that, I began to love Thai food and skin care products.(welll, I'm not doing advertisement for Thai...囧,just tell the truth..)

Is Eng-Chn translation brainkilling...:( As a chinese who's been learning English for about 10 yrs, i really find it torture to translate between these two languages( i mean translation not interpretation).Just like today i was about sitting before my computer for nearly 5 hours just to finish an assignment(an article with 400 words)given by my translation teacher..There're so many difference in culture, expressions, idioms, slangs, logic etc.....The problem is that u'll always want to perfect or better ur version of translation cuz u know there must be some better ways to equal with the source text..but i just cant think of:( It's really soooooooo hard to be a translator .finally i got dizzy and kind of lost my patience.that's the problem of my study in translation. Anyway long way to gooooo..really.......
