The Blue Dragon Playing with the Tiger, or T’ai chi ch’uan Martial Techniques |
|
|
Recently our agency translated, from Chinese, terminology of t’ai chi ch’uan martial art (one of the Wushu forms).
This was not the first our translation on martial arts from Chinese. Last year we translated a book on martial arts. Also, in our archive we have translations from English on Wing Chun style of martial arts and on standard boxing rules.
T’ai chi ch’uan, or taijiquan (Chinese:太極拳, literally “supreme ultimate fist”) is popular as a health maintenance exercises set; however, the prefix “ch’uan” (which means “fist”) indicates that t’ai chi ch’uan is first of all a martial art where the speed of movement plays a role far from the least important one. As for the physical techniques, step-by-step training would be efficient.
Each movement is described in a depictive metaphorical manner. Some of the descriptions let one easily imagine the posture and movements of the martial art master, e.g. “opening the monastery gates”; “the rider is bracing the bow”; “a fierce tiger is coming out of the cage”, etc. Other descriptions are more of a “spiritual” nature, e.g. “a unicorn speaking”; “pulling out the grass to find a snake”; “embracing the moon”, etc. the animals which are most often referred to here are the dragon, the bear, the tiger, and the swallow. Names of elements are mentioned as well; we should note that, as is known, the ancient Chinese philosophy deals with five elements rather than with four ones: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water – “The five elements return to the origin”.
Ни для кого не секрет, что распространение испанского языка происходит настолько стремительно, что специалисты давно пророчат ему лидерские позиции. Тем не менее, мало кто знает, что на африканском континенте также есть государство, где испанский является официальным. |

It is not for the first time that we translate articles for a sneakers & tennis shoes magazine. The magazine is fully dedicated to sports footwear, its history and development, fashion trends, and various events and persons, which are connected, in one way or other, with the “sneaker culture” (where “sneakers” means sports shoes of a kind). |
Our agency performed multiple translations on Chinese history and politics. Recently we completed a huge translation of an article about corporations in Ancient China. |
For a company dealing with medicine and chemistry, we have translated, into Chinese, a calendar of popular beliefs and superstitions. The issue of the Calendar was intended to mark the coming of the New Year. Along with traditional Russian and Chinese beliefs, it also contained “modern” superstitions connected with cars and computers. |
This month we completed a big translation project from Russian of a user manual and an operating instruction for the professional computer polygraph software. So how to run a lie detector test?
