Acertified Chinese translation once shared that the older generation has always taught children about changes in seasons, i.e., spring and summer, autumn and winter in which the weather becomes warm in spring and cool in autumn. Hence, it is important to wear more clothes when it is getting warm in spring and lighter clothes when autumn comes.
This analogy applies to English translation. When we first learn English, our knowledge is quite limited so there’s no reason for us to be embarrassed when we speak or express ourselves. When we communicate with others, we grow and increase our knowledge and skills. After all, language is a tool for communicating. How can you improve your ability if you don’t practice? If you lack confidence, all the more reason to practice and ignore what other people might say, because speaking the language is the best training.
When we gain knowledge through interaction and grab any opportunity, then we are able to achieve our goal.
When we improve our skills, and are able to express ourselves, we can also share the opportunity with other people. As we go through the learning process, we should keep a low profile. Once we’ve gained the necessary English translation skills, the next step is to enrich our knowledge. This is important because in English translation, we encounter different topics and subjects so we need to be familiar with the different aspects of the English language. Acertified Chinese translation emphasizes the value of being knowledgeable yet humble with one’s ability. As the saying goes, do not let the learned frog knows nothing about the great ocean.
