Chinese to English: 《中国历史与文明》 (China’s History and Civilization) General field: Social Sciences
Source text - Chinese 烟波浩淼，世尽沧桑。
在世界的东方，有这样一个古老的民族——中华民族，有这样一个拥有五千年历史文明的古国——中国。在这片土地上，中华民族的子孙们世代在这里生息繁衍，辛苦耕耘，在人类征服自然的漫长决斗中，创造着灿烂的历史文化与不朽的东方文明。它是人类社会发展史上的瑰宝，也是世界文明史中一颗耀眼明珠。
是世界认识了中国，是中国感动了世界。
在中国境内河南省泌阳县陈庄乡有一座盘古山，海拨459米，山体雄峻，树葱叶翠，景致迷人，多少年来流传至今的盘古开天地的故事就从这里开始了。
相传在很早的时候，天地混沌，只有一条缝。不知什么时候，天外飞来一只火红的大鸟，在天和地的合缝处，下了一个蛋。经过了一万八千年以后，这个蛋终于变成了精灵，因为这个精灵在蛋壳里双手抱着，双腿屈着，象是盘住整个身架，所以叫盘古。盘古长着驼峰峰的头顶，大鸟样的嘴鼻，肩背上还有一对翅膀，他头顶着天，脚踏着地，还是伸不直腰，这个世界对盘古简直太小了。的这个精灵就是盘古。盘古拼尽自己的全力想把天地分开，冲开这混沌的天地，经过千年的融合，他终于得到了开天劈地的神斧-——开天斧，盘古将神斧劈向了混沌黑暗的天空。从此，天地不再合拢，世界不击破混沌，盘古也在不久死去了。他的灵魂飞到了天上，变成了雷公。他的身体的各部分，分别变成了日月、星辰、风云，化作了山川、田野、树木。从那时起，有了我们今天生活的世界。
Translation - English China’s History and Civilization
History is a river of no return, and even great oceans would be changed into farm-fields by time.
In the eastern part of the glove, there lives an age-old nationality----the Chinese. And here is also the territory of a country----China, which boasts for its 5000 years of history and civilization. It is a land where the Chinese people have lived and died and strived hard for their existence from generations to generations. In the everlasting conquering war between human and nature, glorious history and culture are nourished and the immortal oriental civilization is formed. It is truly a treasure in the river of human society’s history. It is surely a dazzling pearl that shines over the history of human civilization.
When the world embraces China, China touches the world.
Pangu Mountain, with the height of 459 meters above the sea level, is located in the village of Chenzhuan, Miyang County, Henan Province, China. With its grand shape and evergreen trees, the Pangu Mountain is famous for its charming sceneries. Pangu Mountain is also the fountainhead of the legend that has been told for centuries about how God Pangu created the world.
It was believed that in ancient times, the world was nothing but chaos, and with only a crevice in between as the borderline of the earth and sky. At some era that was untold, there came a fiery-red big bird from a faraway place beyond the earth or heaven. Right in the borderline crevice the fiery-red big bird laid an egg. 18000 years had passed before the egg was finally incubated into a fairy. While still inside the egg, the fairy’s arms were clasping and his legs were bending, thus, he got his name: Pangu, which means clasping and bending one’s body in Chinese language. The appearance of Pangu was extremely strange: the head was like a camel’s hump, the mouth and nose was that of a big bird’s, and he also had two wings on the back. With his head bumping the sky and his feet tramping the earth, Pangu still could not make a straight stand. For this giant, the world seemed too small. To break through the endless chaos, Pangu struggled violently and tried his best to tear up the sky and earth. After 1000 years of painstaking work, Pangu finally got a sacred weapon: the sky-chopper, which owns the magic power to split the earth and sky. In a powerful attempt, Pangu chopped at the world of chaos with his sky-chopper. Since then, the chaos was gone forever and the world was divided into the earth and sky. And then, there came the death of our hero: Pangu. The spirit of Pangu flied to heaven and was ordained as the God of Thunder. The body of Pangu, however, was turned into the sun, the moon, stars, winds, clouds, mountains, fields and plants by nature. The world in which we are living today had come into being ever since then.

My name is Louis CXX, and I am from China. I have worked as a translator for nearly 10 years. Thankfully I have been a trust-worthy translator to my bosses and colleagues.
Though experience or data may be important to evaluate a translator, what I cherish most is actually the fact that I love this job. I guess I am talented and interested in being a translator. For this reason, I am confident that the services provided by me will by no means be unacceptable for my clients. I love it, and then you will be able to enjoy satisfactory cost-benefits ratio. Isn't this a reasonable conclusion?
Approximately 5.5 years ago I began to positioned myself as a legal translator. Now I am good at documentation work involving the fields of law and finance, etc. Being a imaginative and curious person I am interested in a lot fields of the human society. However, a definite career path of legal translator will surely help me to become professional, and serve my dear clients well.
