Translation tip:
Before we ask you about your translation skills, here’s some tips about how to translate Chinese to English well.
1. Don’t use metaphors, similes or “figures of speech” if you don’t need to.
2. Never use a long word if you can use a short one instead.
3. If it’s possible to cut a word out of your sentence, and the sentence is still understandable, then cut it out.
4. It’s always better to use the active tense rather than the passive tense.
5. It’s best to stay away from scientific or jargon words.
6. If you need to break one of these rules to make it a good translation, then break one of the rules!
Remember, it’s not necessary to do a literal translation of the below Chinese passage, and paraphrasing is welcome!
