evyの译想世界

“When your name was flashed up on the presentation, i thought it couldn’t be you… 匪夷所思” Someone commented when heard of my stint at SYOGOC.

Hm, I am not a high-profile student in Uni, I told my friend “the people I know (in Uni) are my classmates, and only my classmates know me.”

I don’t know what exactly the person meant by “匪夷所思”, but if we  analyze this idiom further, it means “above a normal person’s expectation or imagination, no normal person would have thought of that… ” In other words, the decision to choose me was abnormal/unusual/weird.

I knew some of the articles were vetted by instructors but I did not know who did what. Like I mentioned earlier, the articles were translated by volunteers, no one was paid. Instructors are not perfect either, by that I am not taking away the credits of the instructors especially those who participated in joy, I was also involved in vetting in my own team’s articles and it was not an easy feat. At some point of time you will get tired and want to give up.

In fact it was only recently that I found out a few of the articles were translated by a good mate of mine. She checked through the final articles and agreed on the amendments I did. This mate is a translator too.

I know there are detractors out there thinking “Why her? Why not me? Why not So-and-So? Who is she? Is she really that great?” Well, the committee may have limited resources, but they picked their candidates through proper channel. I went through an official interview and got the offer. By the way, it was just an internship.
