@theopensac 好啦
就是有去美國不說英語的台灣人跟來台灣不說華語的歐美人，我才有飯吃
你們可以繼續難搞沒關係

拿到PDF的原文檔案一直都很頭痛，但最近在推友指點下發現可以直接用MS WORD去開啟 PDF檔案，就會直接轉成DOC，而且轉檔效果還很好！！

省下一筆專業PDF軟體/轉檔軟體的費用耶！

譯者聚會活動
少數幾個有聊到的都很訝異我轉 in house 且收入降低
只能說自由接案須要能夠面對收入浮動時維持心如止水，我的心理素質還是不夠強

（是說面對股市浮動我就可以不動如山🤔

[Gary Liaw Translation @gltranslator]

前往譯者活動
一個以自由接案為主的群體，辦一個早上九點開始這種上班族規格的活動真的很違反人性

晚上九點開始比較符合自由接案者的習性吧（X

想像：背單字、練文法，去外商工作！

現實：現職外商九成以上同事是英文為第二外語的亞洲人

相較於文法正確、用詞優美，資訊正確、用詞好懂比較重要啊

我看這篇報導都想哭了。台北市幼稚園老師性侵兒童案件，一開始報案的媽媽們被當成胡思亂想的女人

遊戲的「3A」大作指的是高製作與行銷成本。本來想說3A是哪三個，結果根本是黃昭順問公路等級的蠢。
3A一詞是遊戲通路商借用投資機構對債卷評等的用語；3A是最高等，代表前景看好值得投資。所以要吵臺灣3A前，要知道

投資一定有風險，遊戲投資有賺有賠，申購前應詳閱公開說明書。

Jenna Tang, the translator of #fangsichisfirstloveparadise ( @HarperViaBooks ), interviewed in Mandarin Chinese. As a native of Taiwan and an alum of @nccu1927 , she shares how she has herself trained (thanks to many mentors and allies here and there) to be a capable translator in the US. Note, English is not her first language.

DPP legislator Puma Shen reports having canceled a confidential international meeting he was originally supposed to attend due to the legislative contention, but later receiving notice from the security team someone sought to attend the meeting in his name

這還沒講到需仰賴專業知識解讀後才能做的翻譯。有時候溝通上可以串起所有文字的概念（技術脈絡），是在講者與聽者的腦子裡，這時候只靠直譯會大幅降低溝通的效率

[Gary Liaw Translation @gltranslator]

雖然因為擔心後續翻譯產業可能面臨的變化而找了個可以同時開發翻譯以外的技能的工作
但是目前觀察工作現場的翻譯需求，其實我覺得距離可以全程用電腦處理還很早，好幾十年的那種

[Gary Liaw Translation @gltranslator]

不論口譯，筆譯，技術溝通上常碰到原文本身就表達不清，或者是多管道輸入（看圖說故事）。這是進入語言轉換之前就會出現的問題，我不知道目前的 AI 是否已經有開始考慮這種問題

畢竟就算不用語言轉換，大家工作上應該都常常會有「りしれ供さ小」的時候

If you need an English explainer of what is occurring today in Taiwan, I wrote this piece, summing up the issues at stake, what occurred today, and what occurred in past days. This has been framed at times as another Sunflower Movement. The legislature is surrounded by protesters

The KMT continues to push its controversial bills expanding the LY's power through parliament. To prevent the DPP from blocking the procedures, the KMT has fortified itself on the podium and is reverting to voting by show of hand. Meanwhile, protesters keep gathering outside.

[TaiwanPlus News @taiwanplusnews]

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters from civic groups gather outside of Taiwan’s legislature, calling for increased transparency on a series of bills set to go to vote today.

[Brian Hioe 丘琦欣 @brianhioe]

As of this morning, there have already been clashes in the legislature

And they’re not even counting the total number of legislators on the floor. This is worse than elementary school class voting

[TVBS World Taiwan @tvbsworldtaiwan]

🗳️🔥 #UNCAPTIONED Speaker Han Kuo-yu's use of a "show of hands" vote without recording names is causing a stir at the Legislative Yuan (again)! 👀 This rare method raises concerns about voting accuracy, especially with some legislators protesting or moving around the floor. 💥 #韓國瑜 #Taiwan #Politics

Sorry, you got it wrong. Stop spreading rumors. Most of that time was spent on procedural speeches and reading out the text. I was present for one of those seven-hour sessions and was only allowed to speak for 7 minutes. The rest was just reading through the bill and passing it directly. There was a live broadcast, and I have recorded my angry speeches, which cannot be faked.

A bad bill is a bad bill. Lack of discussion is lack of discussion. It's that simple.
