About me
About me:
Hello dear teacher and classmates. I'm Marlon Alarcón, but friends and family call me Marliton because I'm short.
I'm 32 years old., I have short black straight hair. I'm not good looking, but I don't really care about it. I know I have my sex appeal. I know I'm sexy hehehe. I'm sociable, friendly, lovely and funny.
I like to support people, I like to bring a smile on people's faces. I'm very respectful person. I like to show respect to people most of the time and I look for the same.
In my spare time I like to cycling, specially on weekends. I like to watch movies with English subtitles, I like to dance and people say I do it very well, but the most I like is to make creative designs on PC. I enjoy very much doing that.
I'm a home man. I do prefer to stay at home when I'm not working or studying, just resting or doing something productive, but that does not mean I'm not sociable person. I love to share great times with family, to watch a movie together,
I'm a home man. I do prefer to stay at home when I'm not working or studying, just resting or doing something productive, but that does not mean I'm not sociable person. I love to share great times with family, to watch a movie together,
to make jokes, to laugh and so on, but when friends call me I just get ready, leave home and do not come back until next day hehehe I like to be a bad boy sometimes.
I have completed 3 technical careers: Computing, Graphic Design and Foreign Language: English. At the moment, I'm studying Translation and Interpretation at Cesar Vallejo University and I'm doing really well. I'm content with myself about achieving my goals.
I also have a part time job as a Graphic designer and Spanish Teacher. The first one I manage it from home and the second one online. I must confess that being a Spanish teacher had gave me
lot of joy and happiness. I enjoy a lot what I do as a professional.
Well, that is all I can say about me and I can finish this little publication saying I'm a little man, but with a big heart!
...and remember 'Be bad boys and girls!', specially on weekends...
See ya fellas!

The Difference between Translation and Interpreting
The Difference between Translation and Interpreting
Interpreting and translation are two closely related linguistic
disciplines. Yet they are rarely performed by the same people. The difference
in skills, training, aptitude and even language knowledge are so substantial
that few people can do both successfully on a professional level.
On the surface, the difference between interpreting and translation is
only the difference in the medium: the interpreter translates orally, while a
translator interprets written text. Both interpreting and translation
presuppose a certain love of language and deep knowledge of more than one
language.
The Skill Profile of Technical Translators
The differences in skills are arguably greater than their similarities.
The key skills of the translator are the ability to understand the source language
and the culture of the country where the text originated, then using a good
library of dictionaries and reference materials, to render that material
clearly and accurately into the target language. In other words, while
linguistic and cultural skills are still critical, the most important mark of a
good translator is the ability to write well in the target language.
Even bilingual individuals can rarely express themselves in a given
subject equally well in both languages, and many excellent translators are not
fully bilingual to begin with. Knowing this limitation, a good translator will
only translate documents into his or her native language. This is why we at
Language Scientific absolutely require our technical translators only translate
into their native language, in addition to their subject matter expertise.
An interpreter, on the other hand, must be able to translate in both
directions on the spot, without using dictionaries or other supplemental
reference materials. Interpreters must have extraordinary listening abilities,
especially for simultaneous interpreting. Simultaneous interpreters need to
process and memorize the words that the source-language speaker is saying now,
while simultaneously outputting in the target language the translation of words
the speaker said 5-10 seconds ago. Interpreters must also posess excellent
public speaking skills and the intellectual capacity to instantly transform
idioms, colloquialisms and other culturally-specific references into analogous
statements the target audience will understand.
Interpreter Qualifications
Interpreting, just like translation, is fundamentally the art of
paraphrasing—the interpreter listens to a speaker in one language, grasps the
content of what is being said, and then paraphrases his or her understanding of
the meaning using the tools of the target language. However, just as you can
not explain a thought to someone if you did not fully understand that thought,
neither can you translate or interpret something without mastery of the subject
matter being relayed.
It simply cannot be overstated: when choosing an interpreter, his or her
expert knowledge of the subject matter is equally as important as their
interpreting experience. (See the section "Why Subject Expertise Matters
for Technical Translators" for a more detailed discussion of the
importance of subject matter knowledge for technical translators and
interpreters).
Language Scientific's interpreters possess the following skills:
Thorough knowledge of the general subject to be interpreted
Intimate familiarity with both cultures
Extensive vocabulary in both languages
Ability to express thoughts clearly and concisely in both languages
Excellent note-taking techniques for consecutive interpreting
At least 2-3 years of booth
experience for simultaneous interpreting
