The Pulling-Hair Task of Chinese Translation

Those who know me super well would know that my Chinese writing skill is horrible. Writing a blog post in English would just take me a few quick minutes, as fast as my typing speed could take me. But writing in Chinese, Oh No!

Recently, I'm doing the Chinese translation of my SimplyBach website, which I had dreaded and delayed for so long. I have to put in extra hours of work after a whole day of consultations with clients, so that I can have time for this translation job. But no matter how much I wish this task can be quickly accomplished, my Chinese vocabulary is really 'private limited'!

I would be sighing and grumbling away as I toggled between Google Translate and Chinese online dictionary. Even my hubby felt I was such a comical sight with all my grouching. I felt so exhausted doing the Chinese translation for days and nights.

Today, I took Willow (to help overcome my resentment), Olive (to help overcome my exhaustion) and Impatiens (to help overcome my impatience and irritability over the slowness of this task). These are the passing moods I encountered while doing the task. And Woo Hoo! After sipping the water added with these remedies for a while, my bad moods were gone! Again, my hubby was amused when he saw me patiently, quietly and faithfully continuing to plod on with this arduous task.

So here I am, taking a small break from all those Chinese words flying around my eyes, and happily typing away in English and sharing this story with everyone.
