ya, when i'm in such a mood (frustrated) i want to throw up in my blog. When I am doing translation work, i could not think too much. that's the first point.(that means i sometimes say 'oh the other translators haven't started yet, even though i finished then what?' or i may say 'oh i have to spend so long time will it have any use till then?' so i just could not go on.) second, i say to myself ' i translated so bad' whenever i finish a sentence. and it won't keep me going on at all. i want an excellent or at least qualified piece; that is my requirement to myself. if i just do it like that, finally it won't have any value isn't it? and all the effort will be in vain. i want to translate well but i could not; i am not gifted in Chinese language! it would be better the other way round!
so i understand now that i'm a so pessimistic person; and the origin is that i'm too strict to myself. but i have to be strict right? if i just do a substandard piece, it would be no use at all! what do i do...
and later i discovered, that actually most part of my translation is quite acceptable, only quite a few is not that fluent. so that - my problem is everytime i don't count those that are good but count those that are not that good TOO MUCH!
