The majority of my educational background relates to mechanical engineering & computer science. The subject of my Master’s thesis is control, modeling, and analysis of XY table. I learned PC-based control, CNC machines and programming languages such as C/C++, Java & Matlab to complete my study. I went to National Cheng Kung University for Doctor’s degree in 2002. The topic of my research was related to motor learning of normal subjects and rehabilitation for stroke patients.

My first work in translation is a service manual for a cutting machine. At that time, I worked in a gear manufacturer & translated the English service manual into Traditional Chinese. Later, I worked in a patent firm & translated many English patent applications into Traditional Chinese.

I keep improving my linguistic ability by reading, writing & attending cram schools. Learning languages is an on-going activity to me. For example, after work, I attend a cram school to study Japanese now. As time goes by, I think “language” is a comprehensive term for knowledge. Chinese, English & Japanese are languages for interpersonal communication. Programming languages are languages we use to communicate with computers or electronic devices. Mechanics and mechanism design are languages we use to communicate with machines. I can “speak” these languages a little bit.

I dreamed of becoming a translator since I was a senior high school student. Although I am a part-time translator now, I will be a full-time translator one day.
