Is learning Chinese your new year's resolution? In my new blog post: How do you choose between learning Traditional or Simplified Chinese? You'll also find a list of resources in this post to kick-start your Chinese learning!
▌筆譯日常 ▌
我長期以來都有在關注 Skyline 國際機會平台，
網站上不只匯集各國交流、實習和競賽，
還有許多的海外經驗分享，
覺得是珍貴的學習資源寶庫。
─────────────
這兩天碰巧被以下這則資訊吸引（因為我是漫威粉 😎）
純屬好奇點進去看看，畢竟我是電腦白痴，
這種機會永遠不是屬於我的 😂😂😂
在招募需求中看到：
「具備並精通粵語及／或中文口說能力，以及簡體／繁體中文寫作能力」
不禁心生疑惑：
所以我要精通粵語口說，
同時會中文有加分！？（粵語不也是中文嗎！？）
又要會簡體和繁體中文寫作！？
是這樣嗎 🧐🧐🧐
─────────────
職業病直接爆發，點進原文網站，裡頭寫道：
"Spoken language skills in Cantonese and/or Mandarin and written language skills in Traditional Chinese and/or Simplified Chinese."
瞬間明白原文的意思是：
「具備粵語或普通話的口說能力，及繁中或簡中的寫作能力」
and/or 是指「只具備一項即可，會兩項當然更好」，
翻譯的時候我倒覺得翻出來反而會產生誤解；
至於「中文」這個詞本來就很難處理，
雖然如果目標讀者是台灣人那應該不會影響理解才是。
其實這樣的句子在求職網站上很常出現，
從譯者的角度來看，只要讀者明瞭就足夠了，
是不是我太敏感呢 🤣🤣🤣

SMART Mandarin- Katrina Lee
Hello friends! A highly requested video is finally up! ?
I'm using an HSK vocabulary book, but you can use any resource like a novel, an article, a textbook or even a TV show to find new words. I color code my notes and color code the tones so I can associate a tone with a color.
In one notebook, I list the Chinese characters in black, the pinyin pronunciation in orange, and the Korean or English meaning in black. The circle with a number in it indicates which HSK level the vocab word is for. Example sentences are written in red, and when I need to, I'll rewrite the characters as much as I can until I memorize it.
Then I transfer the words without pinin to a separate notebook and only write the meaning. I then underline the characters with a color according to its tone.
PS: Some of you may notice my vocab is in simplified and one of my example sentences in traditional. I use both!

Guangzhou (simplified Chinese: 广州; traditional Chinese: 廣州; Cantonese pronunciation: [kʷɔ̌ːŋ.tsɐ̂u̯] or [kʷɔ̌ːŋ.tsɐ́u̯] ( listen); Mandarin pronunciation: [kwàŋ.ʈʂóu] ( listen)), traditionally romanised as Canton, is the capital and most populous city of the province of Guangdong in southern China. Located on the Pearl River about 120 km (75 mi) north-northwest of Hong Kong and 145 km (90 mi) north of Macau, Guangzhou was a major terminus of the maritime Silk Road and continues to serve as a major port and transportation hub.
Guangzhou is currently, the third most-populous city in mainland China, behind Beijing and Shanghai; holds sub-provincial administrative status; and is one of China's five National Central Cities. In 2015 the city's administrative area was estimated to have a population of 13,501,100 and forms part of one of the most populous metropolitan agglomerations on Earth. Some estimates place the population of the built-up area of the Pearl River Delta Mega City as high as 44 million without the Hong Kong SAR and 54 million including it. Guangzhou is identified as a Beta+ Global city. In recent years, there has been a rapidly increasing number of foreign residents and illegal immigrants from the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, as well as from Africa. This has led to it being dubbed the "Capital of the Third World". The migrant population from other provinces of China in Guangzhou was 40 percent of the city's total population in 2008. Most of them are rural migrants, and they speak only Mandarin.
Guangzhou was long the only Chinese port permitted for most foreign traders. The city proper fell to the British and was opened by the First Opium War. It lost trade to other ports such as Hong Kong and Shanghai, but continued to serve as a major entrepôt. In modern commerce, Guangzhou is best known for its annual Canton Fair, the oldest and largest trade fair in China. For the three consecutive years 2013–2015, Forbes ranked Guangzhou as the best commercial city on the Chinese mainland.
Let's take a proper look at Guangzhou, one of the four 1st tier cities in China...
