In slightly less than five hours, I’ll be taking an exam for my translation course. Most of the paper will test on translating from English to Chinese – so NOT my forte. I’m better when it comes to the reverse, i.e. Chinese to English. I’m feeling really nervous as I haven’t written anything in Chinese for eons. The last time I wrote in Chinese was 14 years ago. Argh.
Wish me luck.
*Gulp*
Postscript: The exam turned out easier than I expected – at least I wrote something down for every question. I know I won’t fail the exam, but I won’t do that well either because most of my Chinese really wasn’t written in the most elegant of prose. And it was a good thing I bought my English-Chinese dictionary last week. Without it, I wouldn’t have survived the exam!
