A successful translator must have an excellent, up-to-date knowledge of his source language, full facility in the handling of his     1     language, which will be his mother tongue or language of habitual use, and a knowledge of the latest subject-matter in his fields of specialization. This is his professional     2    . In addition to this, it is desirable that he should have a (n)     3     mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to grasp quickly the basic principles of new developments. He should be willing to work on his own, often at high speeds, but should be     4     enough to consult others should his own knowledge not always prove adequate to the task in hand. He should be able to type fairly quickly and     5     and if he is working basically as an information translator, let us say, for an industrial firm, he should have the flexibility of mind to enable him to switch     6     from one source language to another, as well as from one-subject-matter to another, since this ability is frequently required of him in such work. Bear in mind the nature of the translator’s work is the     7     of the written word; it is, strictly speaking, unnecessary that he should speak the language he is dealing with. If he does speak them, it is a (n)     8     rather than a weakness, but this skill is in many ways a luxury that makes no much difference to him. It is, however,     9     that he should have a rough idea about the pronunciation of his source languages, even if this is restricted to     10     how proper names and place names are pronounced.

4 . When she was just 9 years old, Hilde Lysiak became famous across the United States for reporting on different news stories.

Hilde Lysiak’s father was a reporter for New York Daily News. When she was young, he often took her to work with him, so she developed a strong interest in news reporting.

At age 8, Hilde Lysiak started her own newspaper, called Orange Street News (OSN). Her family lived on Orange Street at the time. Hilde Lysiak wanted to cover stories important to everyone in her town. Following the rules her father had taught her, she researched and reported stories in her monthly newspaper. She also set up her own website and reported on YouTube.

OSN suddenly became famous when a murder happened in town, and 9-year-old Hilde was the first person to report it. Soon, news organizations around the country were writing and reporting stories about Hilde. However, not everyone was happy about Hilde’s efforts. Some people criticized (批评) her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder. Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter”. Hilde was upset about the complaints (埋怨). She responded with a YouTube video, “I never began my newspaper so that people would think I was cute,” she said. “I want to be taken seriously. I am sure other kids do, too.”

That wasn’t the first time Hilde had found it hard for people to take her seriously, which was mainly because of her age. But she never let that stop her. Hilde continued reporting.

In 2019, Hilde wrote a book for young people, called Hilde Cracks the Case, which is based on stories that Hilde wrote. The book was then turned into a TV show called Home Before Dark. For now, Hilde says she has given up reporting. But her efforts have already inspired people around the world.
