Source text - Chinese 現代人注重健康，凡是有關健康的產業，總是特別受到大家的青睞。雖然市面上強調有助於健康的產品不少，但真正能夠正本溯源的健康良藥，還是在於回歸良好的生活形態與充足的營養。在世界衛生組織(WHO)的調查報告當中，日本曾經多次蟬聯世界最長壽國家排行之冠，反觀臺灣，雖然我們平均壽命，已經遠比過去十年大幅提升，但仍然低於已開發國家，與日本相較，臺灣在生活、飲食上，的確有更多可以改善的空間。日本人之所以會成爲長壽國家，不可否認的，日本的確有優於我們的醫療體系，不過，真正帶給日本人長壽的最主要原因，還是在於日本人的飲食和生活習慣，尤其是日本人的飲食模式，大大降低了罹患心臟病的機率。和日本一樣，許多以長壽著稱的歐洲國家或澳、紐地區國家，主宰民衆的健康關鍵，也在於餐桌上的飲食，特別是地中海鄰近的國家。
Translation - English Nowadays, people in modern life take great concern in health and health-related industries. Although lots of health products have been introduced to market, a healthy life could be achieved by maintaining good life style and sufficient nutrition. According to World Health Organization (WHO) survey, Japan has been continued crown the highest ranking for the world healthiest longevity country. In Taiwan, average mean lifetime has increased over the past decade, but still under average of developed countries. And so, there are spaces for Taiwan to improve on life style and diet in comparison with Japan. It is undeniable that Japan does have advanced health care system which help to keep Japan on highest ranking, but the main reason lies in Japanese living habits and diet, especially their dietary patterns which have been proved to greatly reduce the chances of heart disease. Besides Japan, European countries or Australia and New Zealand have presenting healthier dietary patterns, especially neighbouring Mediterranean countries.
I was graduated from University of Saskatchewan, majoring in Biochemistry. After returning to my hometown from my gap year in UK for two years, I am getting interest in similarities and differences between a language used in different countries. Gradually, my interest grows into bridging the world without border, and eventually I decided to be a translator.
I have casually translated some online articles since 2006 and have started my translation career without any experience but a clear mindset - to convey and translate the content accurately and precisely into target language with an adequate localization.
After years been translating scientific journals, medical & health information/regulation, technical manuals etc, I am still walking on this path.
To me, translation isn't a "word-to-word" puzzle game but rather a rigorous thinking process.
Practice makes perfect.
