2023 Graduate of Higher Diploma in Translation and Interpretation
My two-year journey in HKU SPACE CC was wonderful and filled with happiness. The courses in the HDTRA program are very well-designed, allowing students to learn more about various types of translation as well as the features of languages. Engaging in class discussions, studying theories, and completing exercises in class were fruitful experiences that significantly improved my translation and interpretation skills, and thus equipped me to handle further study at CUHK. Moreover, the lecturers are very supportive as they have provided valuable guidance and advice throughout the entire learning process. I am grateful for this opportunity and the delightful experience that I will cherish for life.

當有人提起翻譯員和傳譯員，以前的我會聯想起不同的翻譯軟件，並認為翻譯和傳譯是一件十分乏味和輕而易舉的事，一切都能單靠翻譯軟件和人工智能解決。然而，在修讀翻譯及傳譯高級文憑課程的兩年間，我明白到翻譯和傳譯並不是我想像中那麼簡單。翻譯員需要細心剖析原文，再運用適切的翻譯理論和技巧進行翻譯，務求為讀者帶來最佳的譯本，達致信達雅。至於傳譯員，他們要細心留意講者演說，並盡量不偏不倚地傳譯講者的每一句說話，務求打破不同語言的隔膜，成為講者和聽者之間的橋樑。我相信這些都並不是翻譯軟件和人工智能可以輕易做得到的。

Studying in HKU SPACE CC has been the best learning experience I had in my life so far. It is a great learning environment with supportive classmates and lecturers. The HDTRA programme not only equipped me with essential translation theories, but also practical skills. I was given a lot of chances to test the knowledge I had learnt during the class. This undoubtedly strengthened my translation and interpretation skills and widen my view as a translator. I am glad that I was offered the opportunity to study here, and thus gained the abilities to handle the further study in the CUHK.

My two years at the HKU SPACE CC were fun and rewarding. The various courses provided by the HD TRA program were beneficial not only academically but personally too. Translation and linguistic courses paved the way for my study at the university level as a solid introduction to the art of translating, while interpretation and English classes further reinforced my confidence in spoken and written English. It's a worthwhile experience studying here.

Translation is not just translating texts from one language to another, but also assisting communication among people in different culture backgrounds. You will learn different theories and skills which lay foundation for your further study in the university. In addition to the knowledge on translation, you will also learn communication skills which are useful in your daily life. If you’re interested in translation and languages, I highly recommend this program to you. Don’t hesitate to ask the lecturers for help! They’re nice, kind, and professional to provide you a lot of support for your studies and college life. All in all, the journey at HKUSPACE CC is really enjoyable that I would share with you.
