1.No photo translation     UP

1-1The E-mail from Gloria Fung (2006.10.17)

Dear Mr. Chen,

Attached is my translation of Unit 12 (Canoeing).  I have removed all the photographs because the file is too large to email if I leave them in. 

I have sent you four units so far.  I will finish working on Unit 1 sometime this week, then there is Unit 8 which I am doing.  I will need maybe two weeks to get everything finished.  Wang Yui Ling is translating the remaining 6 units.

Once again, if there is anything you need to have changed in the translation, please let me know.

Dear Gloria, 

1.Thanks for your two emails. I was in Taiwan to visit some schools the last 3 days. 

   I just got back this afternoon. I was so glad to receive your translation of Units 3, 6, 7, 12. 

2.I checked those papers quickly. I found there were no photo captions for Unit 3. 

  Could you check it once more and mail it to me ? 

3.I will mail the translation to the authors and ask them to give some suggestion. 

  If they give me any feedback, I would mail it to you.

2.Penghu skylark     UP 

2-1許玉河主任來函(2006.10.19)

陳校長

打擾了!

有關英文翻譯的問題我稍微看了一下輕艇的部份The largest island in the north is Dayao Island (大磽嶼),與洪清林的原意有所差距

其次Although the total land area of the islands is 141 square km,

澎湖一般認為是127square km,141應該只是一個研究案暫定的數據

應該以官方發布的正式數據為準或者註明引用資料出處

否則將會出現各單元資料互相矛盾的現象

第三英文翻譯的問題,例如經濟單元Penghu skylark (澎湖小雲雀) is an Asian species that is a native of Penghu. It can be seen all over the county all year round. It soars above the vast expanse of open country and its singing is loud and clear. It is known as "the bird halfway up in the sky (半天鳥);" 有的物種用學名,有的又直接翻,感覺怪怪的.

諸如種種是我個人的意見

2-2陳仁和校長回應：(2006.10.19)

玉河兄及各位伙伴：

感謝玉河兄來函，見解非常寶貴，我會再和洪清林師及洪國雄師討論。以下先談談我的想法，各位可以參與討論。其實最好是有一個平台較方便。如果有人可以告訴我怎麼在這個網頁設一個直接討論的平台，那就更方便了。目前所有討論我會暫時放在右邊這個網頁上：http://ceag.phc.edu.tw/~nature/master/ocean/index.htm

1.最北的島嶼洪清林師原來的資料是目斗嶼，洪國雄師在2006.09.09共生藻協會辦的九十五年澎湖海洋種子教師工作坊講澎湖潮間帶產業時，講到地理四極時將北方的目斗嶼改為大磽。陸地版圖改為141+37=178平方公里。所以我就加以引用。洪清林師有談過這問題，我有告訴他暫時這樣改，不妥再改回來，並先用藍色標示，表示尚有 討論空間。您的意見我會再與洪國雄師討論，改回原來的或是註明引用資料出處，以免發生您所說的各單元資料互相矛盾的現象。

2.澎湖小雲雀的英文名不同，是否因為一為中名，一為俗名，中名用Penghu skylark，俗名用the bird halfway up in the sky (半天鳥)。這樣解釋是否可以？

3.英文翻譯稿若出爐，我都會寄給所有參與這個計畫的伙伴參考及放在網頁。但原則上是請原中文撰稿人詳細看，是否有和原作抵觸之處。其它的伙伴則依興趣提供意見。也可以直接和王月玲老師請教。有問題的可以自行請教英文程度較好的專家或老師。我想這樣可能會造成原中文撰稿老師的困擾。
不過在這個全球化的時代，老師們就試看看應該也還好。不知各位意見如何？我們的翻譯老師是中正國小王月玲老師，台大外文系畢業；加拿大籍老師Gloria Fung是華裔，中文的讀沒問題，中文的講也可以溝通，是很不錯的組合。但集思廣益一定對我們的合作更有助益。感謝大家，我們大家都有海洋般寬廣的心胸，所以有意見一定要提出來喔！

3.The northern most island     UP

3-1The E-mail from Gloria Fung (2006.10.20)

Dear Mr. Chen,

I am re-sending you Unit 3.  The only change is I have added the translation of the photo captions at the end.  When I translated the unit, I was using the version on the CD-ROM and there were no photographs in that version.

I also read the comment (quoted below) on the translation.  The writer is correct.  It was a mistake I made.  I have changed the phrase, "the largest island" to "the northernmost island." The paragraph you see below is the new version with the change. 

Sorry about the mistake.  

(有關英文翻譯的問題我稍微看了一下輕艇的部份The largest island in the north is Dayao Island (大磽嶼),與洪清林的原意有所差距) 

New version: 

Penghu is the only island county in Taiwan that is surrounded by the sea. It is made up of close to one hundred islands and rocky reefs of various sizes. The island group covers an area in the sea of approximately 60 km from the south to the north, and about 40 km from the east to the west. The Tropic of Cancer passes through the sea between the islands of Hujing and Wangan. The northern most island in the north is Dayao Island (大磽嶼), the easternmost island is Chamouyu (查某嶼), the southernmost is Cimei (七美嶼) and the westernmost is Huayu (花嶼). Although the total land area of the islands is 141 square km, the coastline measures 320 km – it is longer than the coastline of the main island of Taiwan by 120 times per unit area and tops the list in all of Taiwan. There are sandy beaches with sand that is white as snow; there are also imposing basalt columns along the shore. In such a varied coastal environment, there is the need for means of transportation between the islands, for replenishing supplies for the communities and the trading of marine products. Marine transportation is of vital importance to the residents of the islands. Today, we call this form of transportation a “boat.” With advances in technology, most boats these days are powered by machinery; but, what about before the coming of machines? “Wind” – that is right. Human ingenuity taught us to go to nature; however, what about before man even learned to use wind power? Human power – this is the correct answer. This is a basic human instinct; but, how does human power move a ship?

Dear Gloria:

Thanks for your effort. I've replaced the file for Unit 3 on the website of Marine Culture Teaching Units. 

I've also corrected the phrase in Unit 12, "the largest island" to "the northernmost island." 

In fact, the text is given to students to read. I hope we can make the language as simple as we can. 

Have a good time!

4.The land area of Penghu    UP

4-1The E-mail from Gloria Fung (2006.10.20)

Dear Mr. Chen, 

Attached is Unit 1.  

Thank you for making the changes in Unit 3 and Unit 12 for me.  Here are three points that I would like to bring up for discussion with you; and, maybe, the writers of the units would also like to give me some feedback. 

1.       When I first started translating the units, I had no idea who they were meant for.  I did have a feeling that they might be for students.  It was a “struggle” for me to find the middle ground between being true to the original, i.e. being accurate, and making them easy to read for students who don’t have a lot of English.  The difficulty has to do with the large number of technical terms in the units.  It is sometimes not possible to use a simpler word because there are no simple words for the technical terms.  I also worry that if I simplify the language, I may have to simplify some of the information. 

     However, having said all this, I will go back and look at the units again and make whatever changes I can to simplify the language.           

      One example of how I can simplify the language is in the section “Legend of Black Gold” in Unit 1 – the story of Zhang Bai Wan. Could you please let me know if you find it at about the right level?

2.      “第三英文翻譯的問題,例如經濟單元Penghu skylark (澎湖小雲雀) is an Asian species that is a native of Penghu. It can be seen all over the county all year round. It soars above the vast expanse of open country and its singing is loud and clear. It is known as "the bird halfway up in the sky (半天鳥);" 有的物種用學名,有的又直接翻,感覺怪怪的.” 

      Regarding the above comment, I would just like to point out that I was following the original.  In the Chinese version, the bird is called at the beginning of the paragraph (澎湖小雲雀) and then (半天鳥) towards the end of the paragraph.  I looked up a lot of websites to see if there’s an English name for (半天鳥) but could not find any information.  That was why I chose to use “the bird halfway up in the sky” in my translation.  I can italicize the phrase (“the bird high up in the sky”) to stress the idea that this is how the bird is called by local people.

3.      I have noticed some inconsistencies in information in the units; for example, the land area of Penghu is given as 141 sq km in Unit 12, but in Unit 1 it is given as 127 sq km.  In my translation I have followed the original version.  Of course, we can always make the necessary changes at a later time.  Right now the English version is as it is in the Chinese version.

    I am glad that you have put the feedback online because it means there is a chance for more people to join the discussion.  Two heads are always better than one.  I am open to suggestions as to how we can improve the translations.    

Have a great weekend!

Gloria

4-2 The  E-mail form Joy Chen(2006.10.21)

Dear Gloria,

1.Thanks for your carefulness and I've posted the translation of Unit 1 online.

2.I have the same feeling. The Chinese version of Unit 1 is a little difficult for students to read when I read it today.

    As you said, there are many technical terms in the units. It is not so easy for children, I think.

    I'm sorry that I did not read your translation of Unit 1 until now.

    I will send your suggestions to the author first and see how he feels.

    Maybe he can simplify some of the information, then you can translate the simplified info.

3. Regarding Penghu skylark (澎湖小雲雀) and  "the bird halfway up in the sky (半天鳥);" you were following the original version, you're right. Maybe I can ask someone of Wild Bird Society of Peng-hu(澎湖野鳥學會)about the technical terms .

  If I have any news, I will let you as soon as I find out.

4.The land area of Penghu is given as 141 sq km in Unit 12, but in Unit 1 it is given as 127 sq km. I will discuss with Mr.洪國雄 and correct one of  those two numbers .

5. Two heads are always better than one, I was glad to hear this wise adage.

Have a good day!

Dear Mr. Chen, 

I am really grateful to Mr. 許玉河 for his comment on the Penghu skylark.  It is the kind of help I need as it is quite possible that I may not have grasped the meaning in the original.

I am translating Unit 8, the unit on terns and seagulls.  Once I have finished that, I will go back and work on simplifying the language of all the units I have translated.  

 Thank you for your support.

I have gone over these units and have replaced some of the difficult words and sentences with simpler words and expressions.  Anything I have changed is in blue. 

I have also made the change on the population of Penghu in Unit 1 (Geography). 

I should be able to send you Unit 8 by Friday.  I have it finished on the computer in school but somehow I couldn’t put it on the memory stick to take home. 

Talk to you soon.

2.I'm sorry to hear that you couldn’t put Unit 8 on the memory stick to take home;

   otherwise I would have received it sooner, but that’s ok. I'll get it on Friday.

3.I went to your school to see you and Miss Wang this morning，

 Both you and Miss Wang were judging the English oral reading competition.

 I want to know if Miss Wang has translated any of the remaining units.

4.I'm sending you the Chinese version of Unit 9 now; please give it to Miss Wang.

I will send you Units 10 and 11 before the end of October.

 Unit 10 and 11 are dramas. The two plays are too long.

8.The Penghu Oriental Skylark   UP

8-1 The E-mail from Gloria Fung (2006.10.26)

Dear Mr. Chen,  

Attached is Unit 8.  　

I am afraid I need to make a slight change in the following paragraph:

"The Penghu skylark (澎湖小雲雀) is a sub-species of the skylark; it is a native of Penghu.  It can be seen all over the county all year round.  It soars above the vast expanse of open country and its singing is loud and clear.  It is known as “the bird halfway up in the sky (半天鳥);” and it is a native wild bird of Penghu."
Somehow I left out the "a" when I was rewriting the paragraph.  I saw on the National University of Taiwan Department of Zoology (?) website that the Penghu skylark is called the "Oriental Skylark."  Do you think you would like to make the change?  Does it really matter?

Gloria

8-2.The E-mail from Joy Chen(2006.10.26)

Dear Gloria, 

1.Thanks for your carefulness again. I've add the article a in unit 3 online. 

2.I've put the translation of Unit 8 online, too. 

3. I remembered that I saw some information about 澎湖小雲雀 on the Penghu county Government site before. 

   I went to the site just now, and read the info on 澎湖小雲雀in English and Chinese .

4. The following is what it says on the website :

     澎湖小雲雀The Penghu Oriental Skylark   or    Penghu little lark

     半天鳥  mid-sky bird

     It is an official site, so I think we can use it for reference, right?

     Thanks a lot.

假如要有意見的話─貓嶼可不可以直接用MAUYU ISLAND，不要用CAT ISLAND
如花嶼翻成FLOWER ISLAND但地圖上都是註上HUASU或是HUAYU，不知道能不能找到這個島？

9-3 The E-mail from Gloria Fung (2006.10.27)

Dear Mr. Chen and Mr. 黃國揚,

I am glad you like the English version of the poem.  The Chinese original is lovely,  I would just like to add.

·         Personally, I also feel that the place names really should be in Hanyu Pinyin.  I would much rather call Mauyu "Mauyu" and put the Chinese name in brackets after it than calling it "Cat Island." 

    The only difficulty is that there a lack of standardization -- even the Penghu County official websites sometimes call them "Cat Island" and sometimes "Mauyu."  So, it was hard for me to know what to do with these place names when I was translating. But I think that as long as we do the same thing in every unit, it should be all right.  I have also spoken to Miss Wong about this so that she will also use Hanyu Pinyin in the units she is translating.

   I will go back and change all the place names and put them in Hanyu Pinyin.  However, I would like to know whether we want to call the island "Mauyu" or "Mauyu Island."  So far, with Xiyu, for example, I have always called it "Xiyu" and not "Xiyu Island." 

     I will make changes in all the units at one go so that Mr. Chen won't have to keep going back and changing little things here and there.

·         As for the Penghu Skylark, I will change it to "Penghu Oriental Skylark" and "mid-sky bird."  I will do this when I change the place names in that unit. 

Have yourselves a good weekend!

Gloria

陳校長and dear Gloria：
直接寄給我英文版的，讓我嚇了一跳，但我還是很認真的看完了，還請我女兒翻譯，看看跟我想得一樣不一樣，
多懂了一些，算是另外一種學習吧─但我還是不敢寫英文信。
我同意這一段：
However, I would like to know whether we want to call the island "Mauyu" or "Mauyu Island." So far, with Xiyu, for example, I have always called it "Xiyu" and not "Xiyu Island."
但這一段：
I will go back and change all the place names and put them in Hanyu Pinyin.
教育部近日來公文不是說閩南語全部改羅馬拼音，要不要也考慮配合？像我們原住民語都用羅馬拼音，各族的話我看了都會念。
（嗯！但只懂泰雅族的？)
但全部用漢語拼音，我也不反對！ 黃國揚 敬筆

9-5.The E-mail from Gloria Fung(2006.10.28)

When I wrote "I will go back and change all the place names to Hanyu Pinyin," I only meant that I would not be using names like "Cat Island," "Flower Island," etc. I have no preference for one system of pinyin over another.
There is no standardization regarding place names even on government websites. For example, I have seen Xiyu translated as "Siyu," "Xiyu," and even "West Island."
The only areas where I have seen standardization are in road signs which are in Hanyu Pinyin and in English addresses as given on the Taiwan Postal Services website.
Maybe we should consider who the intended readers of the units are. If there is a chance that they may be read by people outside Taiwan, I would suggest using terms/place names that conform to an international standard.
I will happily go along with whatever the authors of the units decide. Just let me know what you would like to see in the translations and I will make the appropriate changes.

11.County Magistrate      UP

11-1 The E-mail from Gloria (2006.11.2)

Dear Mr. Chen, 

Attached is the Preface.  There are a number of points I need to bring to your attention:

1.      I used Mr. Chien-fa Wang for the County Governor.  I took the English translation from the Penghu County Website.  However, I did not translate the two Mr. Su's names as I was not sure how they would like it translated.  I have always felt it is important to be careful about translating people's names so that we don't offend.  Can I ask you to find out how they would like their names spelt?

2.      I have given Mr. Chien-fa Wang's title as "County Governor" although on the Penghu County Website it is given as "Prefect" because according to the Ministry of Interior Affairs, Penghu is a county and not a prefecture.  (Prefecture is really a Japanese term.) 

3.      In the Preface itself, I wrote "1281 C. E. (Common Era)" instead of "1281 A. D. (Anno Domini)" because nowadays C. E. is the new standard term used in North America.  A. D. (in the year of our lord) is no longer used because it is "religious" in nature.  If you feel that in Taiwan people would still prefer A. D., then, by all means, change it back.  I don't have a problem with that.

          Similarly, in Unit 12 (Canoeing), I have used "Inuit" instead of "Eskimos" and "Native Americans" instead of "Indians."  In North America, those are terms which are now "politically incorrect."

1.      In the Preface, in the last two or three paragraphs, there are references to 師生.  I have translated it as "teachers and students" though I feel that properly speaking, it should be just "students."  Again, if you feel we should have it changed, please let me know.

2.      I have made the language of the Preface a bit more fancy because it is the Director of Education writing and he's probably writing more for the public than just students.

 As for the Table of Contents, I need to find out from Ms. Wong what the titles in English of the units she's translating are.  I don't think she is in school this week, so I won't be able to get back to you with the translation until next week.

Gloria

11-2 The E-mail from Joy Chen (2006.11.2)

Dear Gloria, 

1.Thanks for your offer. 

 2. How to spell the names of 蘇啟昌、賴峰偉，I'll ask and let you know . 

 3.About how to translate 縣長,  
    according to the website ,Creating Living Environment Service System(營造英語生活環境)  
     (http://www.bless.nat.gov.tw/index.htm), the answer is County Magistrate. Do you agree?

  I also find County Magistrate used on Google , such as:

 County Magistrate Chu Li-Luan re-emphasized his determination in pushing through the “Road clearance Case”.

4.About 1281C.E. and  using "Inuit" instead of "Eskimos" , "Native Americans" instead of "Indians." 

    As you said, they are new standard terms, I'm glad to learn to use them, thanks. 

 5.In the Preface, in the last two or three paragraphs, where the phrase 師生 is used rather than 學生; only when teachers know and desire to step outside the classroom   
    will the student do so.

  Your feeling is correct, but let the teachers and students of Penghu work together on this.　

6. It's O.K. The Table of Contents can be done next week.

7.The preface was probably not easy to translate and I am sure took up much of your spare time.  Thanks again.

Dear Mr. Chen, 

“County Magistrate” is fine, especially if it is according to the (營造英語生活環境)

I will put in the English names for Mr. 蘇啟昌 and Mr.賴峰偉 when I hear from you.

Mr. Chen, I am afraid I overlooked an error in the title of Unit 12. 

 The correct title should be: An Ancient Form of Transportation -- the Canoe. 

 Could I ask you to make that change for me on the website, please?  Thanks and sorry about the trouble. 

Gloria

12-2 The E-mail from Joy Chen (2006.11.6)

Dear Gloria,

1. Thanks for your help. I've put the English version of the Table of Contents after the Chinese version on the website.

2. I checked the title of Unit 12; it is correct, so I didn’t change it. Could you check it on the website, too?

3.About The Table of Contents, 自然篇, you used the word, Science.

I think, Science means 科學，so I changed it to Nature .

Is the change correct or not?  Please tell me. 

4. May I ask you another question?

Why did you translate 社會篇as Social Studies, but for the other four chapters , you did not use the word “Studies”?

 語文篇, you translated it as Language Arts, Why you add the word, Arts?

I am a bit confused.

Have a nice day

These are “learning areas,” so there are special terms for them.  We use similar terms in our curriculums in Canada.  For example, English is called “Language Arts” in our schools.  Does that clarify things? 

2.      As for the title of Unit 12, I am afraid I was not very clear.  I was referring to the title in Unit 12 itself, not in the Table of Contents.  Sorry about that.

Dear Gloria,

1. I 'm sorry about the title of Unit 12, I've changed it.

2. Thanks for your info, we’d better use the official translation because they are special terms for learning areas.

13-1 The E-mail from Gloria (2006.11.7)

Dear Mr. Chen, 

Attached is the Preface with the names in English. 
I have put Mr. Chi-Chang Su’s title after his name because this is what is usually done in English -- the official title follows the name of the person. 

I know it is the other way round in Chinese (official title followed by the name).  I hope this is okay.
