Character evaluation
Dark suit, royal blue shirt and graceful body language all reflect Zhang Lu's good professionalism. However, as a translator, the image should not be too sharp, especially in such a major diplomatic occasion, so Zhang Lu's simple, capable and cute mushroom head is just right. Now Zhang Lu is focused and serious.
Translation is not a machine. In the process of translation, it not only translates the language, but also conveys emotions and positions. Casual smile makes Zhang Lu attractive and more approachable.
For the translation of complex ancient poetry, due to the great difference between Chinese and English cultural background, the profound cultural connotation is difficult to be reflected in the translation. Zhang Lu's translation is not only accurate but also clear. The translator told reporters that the requirements of the translation circle for ancient poetry translation are faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance. The basic requirements are faithfulness to the original meaning, followed by accuracy and comprehensibility.
