Ambassador Ren Xiaoping talks about "Diplomacy and Translation"
A word of gold
Ambassador Ren Xiaoping first said that diplomatic translation is very important, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "a word of gold". Diplomatic translation work is always linked to the interests of the people. Diplomatic translators need to participate in various diplomatic occasions and can be said to be witnesses of major historical events.
All inclusive
As for the specific content of diplomatic translation, Ambassador Ren Xiaoping said with a smile, “It means attending various major occasions.” Daily translation work involves all-encompassing content, covering economics, politics, military, law, climate and other aspects, which requires diplomats to have higher attainments in many aspects. An excellent diplomatic translation expert must not only have excellent professional standards and professional translation skills, but also have extensive knowledge and flexible adaptability.
“everything of something”and“ something of everything ”
For professional diplomatic knowledge, diplomatic translation experts need to know“everything of something”. Diplomacy is no small matter, and the translation aspect requires diplomatic translators to have strong Chinese and English language skills. When faced with various topics discussed in diplomatic situations, diplomatic translators also need to understand“something of everything”To cope with unexpected translation problems.
“A heavy weight is as light as a heavy weight” and “A heavy weight is as light as a heavy weight””
Diplomatic translators are also under tremendous psychological and physical pressure. In the work of diplomatic translation, you must not have any selfish thoughts and must not worry about gains and losses. Doing heavy lifting like it's light and doing light things like it's heavy is another requirement for diplomatic work.
