Translation and Compilation Assistants Drive USST's English Website

To make USST’s English website better, a team made up of 10 graduates and 3 undergraduates has been organized. The team responsible for some interviews and editing is divided into three groups. Here is an introduction of all the team members.

Translation and Compilation Assistant Team Meeting

Group 1
From the very beginning, we were just strangers by the road side. We have different majors, ages, genders and most importantly, different ambitions. We are entitled with many awards and have been ushered into the spectacular world of exploration. And now, we share the same name: The Translation and Compilation Assistants of USST’s English Website.
Alan comes from the Business School, who was once an escort interpreter for the CUHK MBA Shanghai Trek and was a translator for the TAOL Environmental Protection Organization. He has got several English certificates including the CET-4 (644) and CET-6 (624).
As for Krystal, she is in the College of Foreign Languages, she has ever taken a job as an online translation intern for China Daily and was the escort interpreter for the Frankfurt Automobile Parts Exhibition. She has got the English certificate of TEM-8.
And Effie is also a student of the College of Foreign Languages. She has taken part in a number of contests, which include: the NECCS and some other school-level English writing contests. Some of her achievements are outstanding, such as the third prize for the NECCS at the national level.
As for the last member, Amber, she is really interested in the foreign cultures. The experience of communicating with exchange students from Holland and standing as a volunteer for CIIE has given her the chance to feel the pulse of different cultures.
“Our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us,” is a line from Interstellar, one of my favorite movies. Just like the silent universe and luminous stars in the galaxy, we stare at the sky and keep moving.

It is very meaningful for all of us to experience different feelings when interacting with different regions, different people and different activities. We all enjoy the process of interviewing and writing news because we can communicate with others and broaden our horizons. We are ready to put what we’ve learned into practice and devote ourselves to the team.
