Third place trophy and certificate

As the only Chinese-Portuguese translation competition in the world, the requirement of this competition is that each participating team must translate more than 10,000 Chinese articles with different styles and language provided by the organizer into Portuguese. The entire translation process lasted more than 3 months, and the requirements for the participating team members' Chinese and Portuguese are very high. Instructor Professor Zhu Xiaoshu said that in this translation competition, the original Chinese questions drawn by our team were all in the vernacular style of the Republic of China. Many sentences were not only difficult to pronounce, but also had very obscure meanings. The instructor also had to consult relevant historical background information and consult experts to understand their meanings. This was a great challenge for this team with a non-translation professional background. But we persevered! The entire translation process has well trained our participating teams and enhanced our team awareness and cooperation spirit. ”
