As expatriates have flooded into China in recent years, pockets of the country have developed a distinctly colonial feel. 由於有外籍人士湧入近年來在中國的紙袋，該國已制定了一個明顯的殖民地的感覺。 In the trendiest parts of Shanghai the nightlife is dominated by foreigners living the semi-Chinese experience, much as some British did in Africa and India during years gone by. 在最時尚的部分，上海的夜生活主要是居住的外國人半中文的經驗，多一些英國沒有在非洲和印度在年過去了。 True, colonialism brings to mind a military imposition, something decidedly missing from modern China, but there is nonetheless an uncomfortable reality that is plain to see. 誠然，殖民主義使我想起一個軍事強加的東西堅決失踪，從近代中國，但仍然是一個不舒服的現實，這是平原看到的。 Read the rest of “Are China Expats De-Facto Colonialists?” or post a comment 經過休息“是中國海外德事實上的殖民者” ？或張貼評論

Post WTO China is the world’s biggest new market. 入世後中國是世界上最大的新興市場。 Much of this massive opportunity lies as yet untapped, but any Western business seeking entry into this market faces profound cultural complexities. 大部分這種大規模的機會在於尚未開發的，但任何西方企業尋求進入這個市場面臨著深刻的文化的複雜性。 The most dangerous effect of this cultural complexity for the western businessperson is that it makes it very much more difficult to assess commercial and financial risk realistically. 最危險的影響，這種文化的複雜性，為西部商人的是，它使非常困難得多，以評估商業和金融風險，切實。 Read the rest of “China Business Resources” or post a comment 閱讀其餘的“中國商務資源”或張貼評論

Imagethief spends a lot of time working with interpreters, as you would expect. imagethief花了很多時間，工作與口譯，正如你會期望。 Interpretation is one of those things that it seems no one is ever entirely happy with. 解釋是其中一人的事情，似乎沒有一個是以往任何時候都完全滿意。 Someone always feels like some essential point or nuance didn’t make it through. 有人總是感覺像一些重要的一點或細微差別並沒有通過。 This is occasionally true. 這是偶爾如此。 But we work with some pretty skilled interpreters and most of the time the results are good. 但我們的工作與一些相當熟練的口譯員和大部分的時間，結果是好的。

A client recently asked me to provide some hints on working with interpreters. 客戶最近要求我提供一些提示，工作與口譯。 I had often put a paragraph or so on this into briefing books, especially for execs who hadn’t worked with interpreters before, but I never really thought systematically about it. 我常常把一個段落，或因此就到這一點簡報的書籍，尤其是對高層誰沒有工作，與口譯之前，但我從來就沒有真正的思想系統而已。 This client spurred me to do just that. 此客戶端促使我這樣做。 Considering how crucial interpretation is to our work, this was overdue. 考慮如何解釋的關鍵是對我們的工作，這是逾期。 Read the rest of “How to work with interpreters” or post a comment 閱讀其餘“如何工作與口譯”或張貼評論
