The job as an interpreter is not the easy work in people’s eyes, only these excellent students can stand out and work on it. The translation between languages needs to master at least two kinds of languages, it seems that mixed blood are suitable to be interpreters, while the fact is not true.

翻译员的工作在人们的眼里不是一份简单的工作,只有这些优秀的学生才能脱颖而出从事这一行业。语言之间的翻译需要掌握至少两种语言,似乎,混血儿是合适的译员,而事实并非如此。

We are barely see mixed blood interpreters, because though they can speak two languages, most of them don’t learn the culture deeply, so it is hard for them to do the translation work formally. The advantage of mixed blood is that they can speak the languages well than others, but the translation work needs to be trained and master the culture background.

我们几乎没有看到混血口译员,因为尽管他们会说两种语言,他们中的大多数不了解文化,所以对他们来说很难做正式的翻译工作。混血儿的好处是,他们能把语言讲得比别人好,但是翻译工作需要经过训练和掌握文化背景。

It is known to all that being a interpreter requires not only the speaking and listening skill, but also the immediate memory, so the mixed blood only have advantage on speaking, but not comprehensive skills. The translation work is not the process of speaking between languages, it is to express one language in another cultural way.

众所周知,作为一个口译员不仅需要口语和听力技巧,也需要快速的记忆,所以混合血只有口语的优势,但是不是全面的技能。翻译工作不是说多种语言,它是用另一种文化的方式去表达一种语言。

People envy the mix blood not only for their pretty face, but also their ability of language. Actually, we will surpass them if we work hard.

人们羡慕混血不仅是因为他们漂亮的脸蛋,而且因为他们的语言能力。实际上,如果我们努力学习，也可以超越他们。
