#中美高层战略对话现场翻译是她 #
On March 19, in the Sino-US high-level strategic dialogue, when the most beautiful translator Zhang Jing appeared in everyone's sight again, she once again won public praise for her calm atmosphere and fearless performance in the face of danger.
China Women's Daily reported:
Zhang Jing, a native of Hangzhou, graduated from Hangzhou Foreign Chinese School in 2003 and was sent to the China Foreign Affairs University majoring in English, and was hired by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2007. As a translator, she represents the image of our country, represents the most capable and professional appearance of the Foreign Ministry translator group, and conveys the voice of China to the world.
It is such a female translator who conveys the voice of China to the world, how she has become a well-recognized translator step by step, and let's approach this "cold beauty" together.
01. Excellent academic performance from childhood to adulthood, with insight and cognition beyond peers;
When everyone pays more attention to the translation talent of the beautiful translator Zhang Jing, let's take a look at the learning path she has taken from childhood to adulthood.
As a child, when other children were still struggling with what toys to want and what clothes to wear to look good, she had begun to plan for the future, much earlier than her peers.
It is also related to her parents' guidance to her. In elementary school, Zhang Jing imitated the people in the movie who spoke English, and her parents often took her to travel abroad, increasing her knowledge and improving her oral English skills. As long as she has the opportunity, she will take the initiative to communicate with foreigners and exercise her speaking skills.
In this way, Zhang Jing has formed an unrelated relationship with English since he was a child, laying a solid foundation for dealing with "English" in this life. When a person is guided by interest, all the efforts are worth it.
In Zhang Jing's online photo album, most of them are photos of her traveling the world, including London in the United Kingdom, Stuttgart in Germany, Geneva in Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the Netherlands, the Vatican... It is this rich travel that has given her a better understanding of world culture and enhanced her cross-cultural thinking ability.
The environment determines insight, tourism allows Zhang Jing to see the customs and cultural origins of countries around the world, but also in the exchange with foreigners, reserve all aspects of knowledge, but also improve their English level.
In his sophomore year of high school, Zhang Jing received a scholarship and participated in a study tour in the United Kingdom. During this study tour, she also met a local high school girl, communicated with each other, and made progress together. This foreign friendship also strengthened his ambition to become a diplomat.
When the Hangzhou network reporter contacted Mr. Xi, the first tablemate of Zhang Jing's junior high school, he told the reporter that Zhang Jing gave him a deep impression: first, she was very beautiful; second, she was very capable; third, she appeared more mature than her peers. Mr. Xi said, "Not only is it good to study, but other aspects are also outstanding!" ”
It is true that Zhang Jing not only studied well, but also sang and danced well and was a sports host, but she was most interested in English.
In the eyes of her classmates, "she is an all-rounder, in the mastery of Hangzhou, her results in various subjects have always maintained the top five in the class, and the school's English speech competition, she is either the first or the second." The homeroom teacher also commented that she had excellent grades, comprehensive quality and special skills in English.
02, a strong interest in English, so that she aspires to be a diplomat;
The road that Zhang Jing has traveled has a relationship with her parents' focus on cultivating children's interests and leading her to actively develop interests. As a result, after broadening their horizons for their children, parents set goals and made unremitting efforts towards the ideal of becoming a diplomat.
In high school, her academic performance has been in the top five, and when she reached the third year of high school, she should have been admitted to Tsinghua Peking University according to her strength, but she was unwilling to go to Tsinghua Peking University, and chose to study at Hangzhou Foreign Chinese College to continue to work hard to become a diplomat.
As one of her former homeroom teachers said, the child always knew what she wanted. When a person knows what she wants, she will not be lonely and confused, and everyone will follow the clouds and only follow the goal. On the road to the ideal, overcome many difficulties and do not stop until the goal is achieved.
After graduating from the third year of high school, Zhang Jing gave up Tsinghua Peking University and chose to study at the China Foreign Affairs College. After entering the university, Zhang Jing's English advantage was better utilized. Participated in the 10th 'Foreign Research Agency Cup' National English Debate Competition and won the team championship. Participated in the 10th '21st Century Cup' National English Speech Competition and won the second place. Known as a veritable "cow breaker sister".
According to teachers at Zhang Jing University, more than 200 students in their class applied to the China Foreign Affairs College, and Zhang Jing was one of the students who entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a translator.
Being able to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there is no considerable professional strength, and the psychological quality will not be easily selected, while Zhang Jing "passed five levels and slashed six generals", and finally can enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which indeed verifies the sentence that he obviously relies on his appearance, but relies on talent.
03, usually optimistic and cheerful, once you work, you will become a "cold beauty".
Zhang Jing has an optimistic and cheerful personality, but when he works, he does not smile and is worth learning from everyone. She is a well-known "ice beauty" in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, because the nature of her work determines that when she translates, she is focused and rigorous, and accurate in place.
Therefore, when everyone saw her working with a focused and meticulous look, they were attracted by this expression. Some reporters know when filming that when she is at work, like she never laughs, it shows that she loves and is responsible for her work.
Without such a professionalism and rigorous spirit, how can it be suitable to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and become a recognized senior translator.
At the press conference on March 11, 2013, she made her debut, and because of her focused look, she suddenly attracted everyone's attention and caught fire. But Zhang Jing felt that the nature of her work was not suitable for revealing too much to the outside world, so she deleted some information related to her. It can be seen that she has strict requirements for herself, low-key behavior, high-profile work.
She is well aware of simultaneous interpretation, requiring the speed of basic synchronization with the speaker, when translating, it is required to be accurate in pronunciation, beautiful pronunciation, correct grammar, accurate semantics, in line with the language habits of the other party, no ambiguity, translation, but also requires the translator to have the corresponding knowledge reserves.
This time, during China's high-level strategic dialogue, Zhang Jing's calm atmosphere at a critical moment is the real kung fu that she has practiced over the years.
It also made people praise Zhang Jing's translation level and good psychological quality, and let the world know the strength of China's senior diplomats.
Conclusion: No matter how much this senior diplomat has achieved in people's minds, and how much the journey he has traveled is worth learning, Zhang Jing still thinks of himself as an ordinary translator and a confident Chinese from beginning to end.
