Help for translation of English economic words

Anonymous — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 05:41:45 GMT

Hi everyone!
I am about to translate a sort of "economic" report about Italian regions.
It`s the firs time i come across something like that so I really need your help.
Let`s start then!

Is it correct to write:"Its GDP is estimated around 14.200 euro"?
would you write something like: "he would like to meet delegates of productive world and commercial distribution"?
Would you use to write a formal report in English an expression such as "The Regional Director of Sicily would be pleased/honored to meet the Chief minister of Andrha to discuss about agricultural,mevhanical,navy and furniture industry"..does it sound right??
Do you also have in English the expressione "three economic sectors" to refer to i 3 settori economici ovvero primario, secondario e terziario?
Referring to enviromental issues, would you say:"He would like to compare and discuss experiences related to development and qualification of teh territory such as energy/enviroment, data transmission nets and social and logistical services"?
How do you say in English "attivita` produttive"?
Does it sound right something like: Sicily`s main incomings are represented by mechanical engineering, transportation equipment and telecommunications."? Or: "Its main productive business are breeding and wine".
And what about this:" he would be pleased to meet you in order to plan collbaoration`s agreement to organize exchanges within universities and research sector"? Is within right or between is better?
the idea is to let students move by universities...
Last thing, do you usually use in English to write You with initial capital letter if you ae addressing to someone important?

As you can see, I have a lot of doubts cause I have never attended a business English class before...even if I feel it`s time to take one !
I would extremely appreciate your suggetsions, advice and, basicly, your help!
Mostly, i would like to know whether the language is correct or not.
I mean, I have to write a formal paper but, you know, it doesn`t have to be ridicolous! something like you would expect to read in case you were reading a formal English paper...
Ok, I think you got it!

Thank You so much!!!!
I`ll wait for you!

Hi,

These words were written in the 18th century commenting on students of ~~the~~ Oxford University.

Sure Pride, that's how it's printed in the original. At that time, people were more free in their use of capital letters, less constrained by rules.

Did the teachers have the power to order students to serve them at meals and other public occasions in Oxford back in the 18th century? Broadly speaking, it was a way in which poor students could pay for their education.

SUMMARY

A highly motivated, determined, and dedicated 29 year old general practitioner (GP) with practical work experience in conducting evidence based medicine during my 16th month compulsory national service, when I was working as a GP in a health clinic handling most aspects of a GP responsibilities. My appreciation for importance of â evidence based medicineâ has led me to propose surveys and researches to gather appropriate data concerning most daily encountered medical problems. My commitment to humanitarian activities and my professional obligations led to a two-week voluntary work for Red Crescent during the very first days of catastrophic *** earthquake ( date), when I experienced working with the least equipment and facilities during a natural disaster of massive number of casualties and lots of emergencies. I spent two month of my internship and one month of my clerkship in a rural health clinic where I became familiar with the the country health system and policies in rural area while under supervision I was responsible for daily patient care and visits, handling and updating patients records, doing patients follow-ups, vaccination, pregnancy and pediatric routine cares, birth control, consultation, monitoring community health and addressing any health problem in the community. I proposed a survey during this invaluable experience of my internship to find out the results of failure of patient for following up their routing visits especially for pregnant women and juvenileâs which resulted in 23 percent increase in their attendance. The rest of my internship was in a large medical center in *** city during which we were trained for conducting a wide array of medical skills in all medical disciplines. I understand the value of research in medicine and have always been keen to conduct practical researches to solve some problems of community or bring new treatment to practice, which could be noticed from my research background. I have always been eager to connect my current knowledge to perpetual stream of new medical breakthroughs and practices through reading reputable medical journals, however my research background makes me to be critical to new article and research papers form content and methodology perspective. Playing Basketball has taught me the value of teamwork and to be more proficient in indispensable art of time management. I studied medicine in and graduated from a medical school listed in both WHO and IMED directory of medical schools.

1) Can I use "I am keen on.." or is that colloquial language? If so, what other expressions could I use. It's ok.

2) 1 Paragraph: "would match my wishes for my future just perfect" - does this sound right? no, this is incorrect. Try 'would perfectly match my ambitions for the future.'

3) Try "The first four months of my trip were organized for me then I continued travelling, while making my own arrangements".

4) I had to organize the trip by myself which meant (or should I use included?) booking flights etc I'd use 'included'.

5) "the trip determined my wishes concerning my future work in a crucial way" - once again, does this sound right? not quite

6) "In school I took politics and economy and English as my major fields of study. In both politics and economy and English I had good results in the final tests: I finished the former with 12 points and the latter with 10 points. My third written test was mathematics which I finished with 11 points. " - is "i finished the former etc." the right expression? All the subjects should start with capital letters - Politics and Economics - Mathematics. Yes, I guess the former and latter are ok, your main problem is that is sounds like three subjects not two, so try to find a way to make this clear. Also, we don't know the maximum number of points so can't tell if your marks are good or not - can you express them as a percentage?

Thanks for ur help! I used most of ur suggestions except for the last one with the points..thatÂ´s a german thing ^^ (the letter goes to a german university and they will hopefully understand what I mean)

I added one paragraph..maybe someone could have a look at it:

Another reason why I would like to study at the University of Applied Science in YYY is that one of my friends, YYY who is studying Event Management in Bad Honnef, recommended your institution to me. He emphasized the small amount of people in the classes which creates an atmosphere which is comparable to a school. For me studying in small groups is of high importance because I would feel more comfortable and I think that the working climate would be more productive than in public universities.

actually, i just want to know if i can use "institution" for "university"!? If there are any other mistakes in the paragraph, please let me know!

Cheers! :-)

Hi, I doubt very much that there are 2400 independent schools in London - possibly this is the figure for the whole UK?. The GCSE is not a single exam, there are separate exams for each subject. After 16, some pupils continue in the same school, others go to college to do their A Level exams- which are what you need to go to university. Universities don't run their own entrance exams. A degree takes a lot longer than one year.

Get your facts straight and then we'll tackle the grammar. . Don't forget to start all sentences and proper nouns with capital letters.

Hi all,

I'm another person that needs help with a Letter of Motivation... It would be great if you had a look at it. I would be very thankful for any comment on the structure, grammar..., also I'm interested in the expression you would have of me after reading the lom.

The institution I apply at gave the following information for the lom: Please write (on a separate sheet of paper) a statement explaining your current goals, career plans and reasons for being interested in a doctoral program at the University of X. Discuss your study plans and your intended fields of interest. Your statement should be in English and not exceed two pages (not more than 700 words). (Btw, this lom is not meant as a cover letter.)

OK, here's the first version of me lom (I x marked the local information to avoid that the selection panel could find it in the www, I know, it's a little paranoid... ;-))

cheers, jorgy

Dear Prof. Dr. X,

I am a 25 year old German Sociologist currently working at the X at X. I am writing to you to apply for the Doctoral Program in Sociology at the Graduate School for X at the University X starting in December 2007.

To attend your Doctoral Program (both in capital letters?) on empirical and quantitative methods is of high interest for me because during my studies of Sociology and Political Sciences at the University of X from 2001 till 2006 I have developed a great interest in empirical social research. While I gained work experience as a student assistant at X from 2001 to 2005 I became awake that I want to start a career as a researcher in the field of empirical social sciences. A first important step towards that goal was obtaining an award from the âXâ in November 2005. They funded me for 13 month to work on an expertise about the âEfficiency of the Measurement of Further Educationâ wherein I compared and evaluated the measurement of further education in four different German surveys. Since this was a part time project I was able to spend three month (May to July 2006) at the Marketing Department at University X, working as a research assistant on the X Survey Programme. This gave me the opportunity to gather more work experience with a large data set and to improve my English as well in written and spoken in an international environment. Throughout my task on the funded project and on the X data I recognised once more that methodology and quantitative methods are substantial for any social research.

Since January 2007 I am now working as a researcher at X on a project which aims to enhance the quality of the X Survey. Within that project it comes apparent to me again that the use of appropriate methods is crucial to get reliable and valid results exceedingly in the cross-national comparison. Therefore I intend to do my doctoral studies on empirical and quantitative methods whereas my main interest lies in survey methodology for cross-national studies. Thus the topic of my doctoral thesis should be related to a topic dealing with establishment of comparability of data in cross-national surveys. Hence I need a solid education in the fields of empirical and quantitative methods which I expect to obtain in your Doctoral Program.

Additionally I want to mention two more reasons why I have a great interest to gain a doctorâs degree in your program. The first is that the training in empirical and quantitative methods at your Graduate School is combined with their application to business, economics, and the social sciences. Moreover, notwithstanding the decision for one study field, in my case i.e. Sociology, the exchange across the different disciplines is fostered amongst other things through attending to a seminar in a neighbouring field and through the contact to other Graduate School students who specialise in these other disciplines. A second reason why I appreciate your Graduate School is the excellent and international orientated research environment. Both the Social Sciences faculty and the cooperating centres are internationally well renowned and house experts in their fields. This and to study in an English speaking environment would provide me with skills which are necessary to compete internationally successful as a researcher.

I honestly feel confident that the Doctor in Sociology with a focus on empirical and quantitative methods would be the best choice for me. Furthermore it would be an honor for me to be a doctoral student at the Graduate School funded under the âXâ as the first of its kind in Germany. Therefore I would be glad of receiving the opportunity to attend the Graduate School of X.

Thank you very much for considering my application. Iâm looking forward hearing from you.

Sincerely yours
