On 10, June, 2018, Partner of Babel Tower, Diane Wu attended the 2018 China-AUS Investment Summit and had a chance to meet Hon.Kevin Michael Rudd who is the 26th Prime Minister of Australia and a true language expert.
Kevin is bilingual of Mandarin Chinese and English. He knows Chinese and it’s culture like it’s embedded in his veins.
Language is about exposure while culture is what stands behind. To translate is to bring about that behind two languages-culture, context, mindset.
“I credit all my knowledge and insight of translation to my dearest educator-Macquarie University, the best cradle for A-level translators and conference interpreters(including simultaneous). This is also in memory of one of our greatest professors, Michael Halliday(1925-2018), who devoted all his life to systematic functional linguistics and inspiring the linguistics students in Macquarie University. R.I.P.”, said the partner Diane who has devoted 10 years to linguistic industry as a veteran and excellent graduate from Australia.
