I am first a Mandarin Chinese writer, then a translator. From my sample translation, you can see that I’m not only good at translating from English but also adapting translated Chinese text to make it read like it is authored in Chinese, instead of translated text from English.
Born, raised and educated in Taiwan, my written Mandarin Chinese is at a for-publication level and my oral spoken Mandarin Chinese is at the top of native speaker level, honed by numerous face-to-face interviews with the high-ranking government officials and business leaders in Taiwan and by public speaking in press conferences
My MBA training and business experience in US in the second half of my life provides me with a solid business background and a near-native fluency in English. Setting up the Translation Center in Beijing as a Translation Director at Sina.com to report real-time CBS Marketwatch news in Chinese enabled me to develop the sensitivity of detecting the cultural, terminology and style differences between Chinese and English journalism writing. I’ve worked, lived and started my family in the States for as long as the first half of my life in Taiwan. With strong roots in both sides of the Pacific Ocean, I am not only bi-lingual but bi-cultural.
