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”.
Боза – чудесный напиток, который встречается в Македонии, Албании, Турции, Румынии и Болгарии. Лингвисты считают, что происхождение слова связано с персидским словом "boza" и означает "просо", однако существует и второе значение - "низкая эстетическая и познавательная стоимость какого-либо произведения". |

At the dawn of our translation business (2001), technical translations from German accounted for 25% of the total. Translations from French - 7%, Spanish - 3-5%. There were also other languages in the orders, but their total share did not exceed 2-3% per month. Everything else - about 45-50% - English.

Asking yourself the question "how is it possible to communicate with a Chinese person", you will certainly find a lot of advice in the Internet. Being translators from Chinese, we offer you our own advice. |
A permanent source of problems the translation agencies regularly face is a low quality of the original texts received from customers for translation. |
One of our agency`s regular clients made a comment on a translation we completed for them, and it has not left my mind since. It encapsulated a criteria for judging the quality of a translation which had not occurred to me before. |
Construction and industrial technologies are a frequent subject of our translations: we translate operations manuals for various construction machinery (excavator-loaders, mini loaders, crushers etc.), as well as construction machinery and additional attached implements catalogs within the specificity of road building equipment for earthworks. |
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). |
