Source text - Chinese 这里千峰竞秀，有奇峰72座，其中天都峰、莲花峰、光明顶都在海拔1800米以上，拔地擎天，气势磅礴，雄姿灵秀。
Translation - English Let yourself get enchanted by the beauty of a thousand peaks, each more spectacular than the previous. More than 70 peaks, mesmerizing in their strength, tower high above the landscape. Among them, the “Heavenly Capital” and the “Lotus Blossom” peaks, full of power and grandeur, rise up so high above, that we can hear their whispers in the wind, “come and drown yourself in strength and beauty”.
Chinese to English: Peking Duck
Source text - Chinese 北京烤鸭的吃法很有讲究。首先，厨师会将烤好的整只鸭子拿上桌给顾客看，然后将烤鸭连皮带肉片成若干片。经典的烤鸭吃法是和特制的面皮饼、空心芝麻饼、葱丝以及甜面酱搭配，直接用手把面皮饼卷了鸭肉、葱丝和甜面酱，也可以将烤鸭蘸了甜面酱，同葱条等一起塞进空心芝麻饼食用，不过也有人喜欢将烤鸭片蘸蒜泥或搭配黄瓜条、胡萝卜丝一起吃，有些年轻女性甚至喜欢用烤鸭片蘸白糖吃。烤鸭的剩余部分如肝、翅、肫、掌、蛋等可做成各种冷盘，心、舌、腰等部分可烹制成熟菜，即使是鸭骨也可以加山药和白菜熬成味道鲜美的鸭架汤。
Translation - English If we say that eating Peking duck is an art form, it is not going to be an exaggeration. Every part of the process is meticulously prepared and grounded in long traditions. The chef will come in person with the whole duck, and then cut the meat and the skin into thin slices in front of the customers. The traditional, or ‘classic’, way of eating Peking duck is with a specially prepared pancake, sesame buns and a garnish of onion and sweet sauce. Usually, you will stuff one of the pancakes with some duck, onion and sweet sauce, or you can take the duck slices and dip them in the sweet sauce, and then consume them together with the onion and the pancake. However, there are people that enjoy eating the roasted duck with a mashed garlic dip, or with sliced cucumber and carrots. Some younger girls even enjoy dipping it in sugar before consumption.
The entire duck is used, nothing is thrown away. The remaining parts, such as liver, wings, eggs etc., are often used to prepare appetizers, even the bones are used to prepare a delicious soup!

Bio
I'm an aspiring translator with a couple of years of experience. I have done translations on different topics, mainly in the fields of Tourism, Education, Documentation (Diplomas, Marriage Certificates etc.) in the language pairs listed in my profile, but mainly from Chinese to English/Bulgarian. I have also worked as a freelance interpreter on a couple of occasions. Additionally, I've accompanied government delegations visiting China, where I was handling the translation, interpretation and general communication between the the sides.
In terms of education, I have a degree in Sinology from Sofia University (Bulgaria), where I was consistently in the top 10% of my class. I was awarded a full scholarship from the Chinese Government twice, first for an intensive language course (2016-2017) in the Hangzhou Normal University, and then for my Master's degree in Ningbo University, where I am currently studying translation and interpretation.
