Dear Marlene

Thank you so much for the wonderful work you have done translating the document from Yi Fu. Thank you also for doing this work for us so quickly, we are keen to resolve this matter before Christmas and we are now in a position to do this. I am aware that this has been a very complex piece of translation and we are indeed very fortunate to have you with your considerable skills and expertise to help us with this work.
Once again on behalf of all of us here in Art and Design I thank you again and wish you all the best for Christmas and the New Year.

Re Marlene Lu

We found Marlene’s services via the website over a year ago, and contracted her to undertake some translation for us.
We have used Marlene for about 6 projects, and have found her work to be excellent.
She is very good at communicating with us, always advises her time frames and adheres to those.
Dealing with Marlene has been a very pleasant experience as she is very professional, timely and provides good quality work.

I would have no hesitating in recommending Marlene to anyone who wishes a translation service, and if you would like a verbal reference please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Hi Marlene,

I have put the two questionnaires in 2 separate envelopes as they wouldn’t fit in one! I have sent a return envelope with both questionnaires. I do not require the ad booklet or info sheet back – only the questionnaire and the consent form.

Thank you again for all your help and your excellent translation!

“We found the translation service from Marlene Lu very cost effective and professional. She provided advice on the type of Chinese most common in New Zealand and also advised on certain parts of our text that would not translate well to Chinese”.

尊敬的Marlene女士:

首先,请接受我对您衷心的感谢!

由于你精准的翻译,使我几千字的论文得以顺利通过。

我们知道,把一篇文章从中文翻译成英文,这实际是一次再创作过程。它是翻译者对中、英文语言驾御能力和水平的体现。翻译水平的高低,直接影响到文章原意的表达。你的翻译使我的文章充分发挥,达到了预期效果。你在翻译时那种精益求精的精神令我敬佩。希望你能翻译出更多的好文章,令读者一饱眼福。

                                                                                                                                        顺祝工作顺利!

Dear Ms Marlene,

First of all, please accept my heartfelt gratitude to you.

Thanks to your perfect and accurate translation I successfully passed my several-thousand-word dissertation.

We all know that the process of translation is actually a process of recreation and reproduction.  It represents a translator’s highest professional level of competence to handle both Chinese and English translations as I think his/her competence in translation has a direct impact on the meaning of original texts. Your excellent translation fully reflected what I expressed in my article and achieved my expected outcomes. I admire your professionalism and commitment to excellence in the process of translating my article. I wish readers have chances to read more of your translated articles.

With best wishes

We used to have a chinese girl working here called Carrie Huang who could do the translation – but she’s now working in London – wasn’t sure where to turn, so I’m grateful.            … You are a champion!
