Yesterday
Yesterday, I went to The First Symposium on Translation Theory & Foreign Language Teaching in West China. There, I received my prize for Exellence in the Helen Snow Tranlation Competition. It was a formal conference which I had seldom taken part in.
ALL the distinguished guests presented yesterday were none-exceptionally significant in the field of tranlation. After the host delivered the opening speech, we were staged to have the prize and gifts. The famous tranlator Prof, Cao presented the prize to me and kindly gave his congratulations to me. Not at all could I feel any arrogance. He is really a knowledgeable and gentle man, which was fulled reflected in his speech as the chief spokeman in the following part of the symposium.
It’s my great honor to be recoglized by the judges in this contest. However, I still have a long way to go. All the guests presented in the symposium are my models to learn from. How I admire them to have so large volums of knowledge!!
