PROGRAM PRODUCTION CENTRE

Director: Vo Quoc Thanh

Deputy Director: Tran Chan Uy

Deputy Director: Nguyen Chi Hoai

International News, Animal Planet, National Geographic, sports, cartoons, circus, Nature and Science They exploit these programs from International Satellite People who work here are all female translators They record programs on Satellite then watch and translate them from English, French, Chinese, and Russian into Vietnamese.

Each translator has their own working desk with a television, a video player and a head phones Some translators who do the International News have computers connected with the Internet

In this section, it is normal to ask the other more experienced colleagues for help They often help each other to finish their works This shows their solidarity in working

2 Strengths and challenge:

2.1 Strengths:

It has a personnel staff with capacity, experience, enthusiasm and passion in their jobs They are all hard working and many of them even go to work on their days of rest People working here often take some training courses so that they can update the knowledge in their fields that ensures effectiveness in working The station always makes favorable conditions and provides sufficient modern equipments for workers in the section

2.2 Challenge:

The number of programs that they can exploit from the international satellite is limited because of program copyrights The expense of buying these programs is sohigh and they cannot afford It will be more difficult for them in the future when thenumber of programs having copyrights is increasing

Chapter 3:

MY JOB DESCRIPTIONWhen I took the internship there, I did two kinds of programs:

1 International News:

a How an International News program is made :

Each program includes from nine to ten pieces of news International News programs are broadcasted two times a day One is at 10.50 am and another is at

8 pm The translators must go to the office early in the morning then watch and record news on ABC, BBC or CNN channels Next, they will choose the typicalnews among a day and translate them into Vietnamese After that, the translatorswill type then print the news out

The translated news will go to the Editorial Crew People working in this crew will edit the news Then Mr Tran Chan Uy, the Deputy Director of the ProgramProduction Centre and the commander of this crew, signs his name on the

translated text Mr Ho Hong Son also gives his signature on it Last, the

translated text and the recorded video will go to the Technique Crew The program is completed here before it is broadcasted on TV

b My work :

I had worked as a translator though the news video is already recorded I had done four pieces of news: three from BBC channel and one from ABC channel

The news in the video were rather long, I didn’t have to translate all the

information but just the important ones so that viewers could catch the main things that we want to convey through the news

٭My problem:

The speakers often delivered the news very fast; I sometimes even didn’t

understand what they said At that time, I needed to watch it again and again Because they spoke so fast so I was not sure that the information that I got was true or not

I had used the Internet to solve this kind of problem I can check the accuracy ofthe information I heard by searching on the Internet

2 Nature and Science:

I had done a program named “Wolf attacks” on Nature and Science Doing this program took most of my time Every day, I went to the office, put on my

headphones, listened and wrote down every word that I heard until I got all Then I translated it

When doing this kind of program, the translators’ duties are just like when they do the International News The biggest difference here is that they have to listen and translate exactly every word, every sentence being said in the video It is very difficult and it is also my problem

I had to listen sentence by sentence and listened for many times There were severalnew words that I didn’t know So I listened to them very carefully then I looked up

in the dictionary to find out the new words However, there were still some words that even I had listened for many times and I had looked up in the dictionary, I

couldn’t find them The last way I could do was to ask for my supervisor’s help She will listen and help me find these words She was more experienced and was familiar with these words; it would be easy for her to get it.

INTERNSHIP SUMMARY

1 Good practice:

I have obtained many benefits from my internship at Khanh Hoa Radio and

Television Station This was a good opportunity for me to gain experience in translation field I had worked as a real translator and not just a student I acquired many new skills and developed many already existing skills including translating skill, listening skill, and communicating skill Of these skills, the most worth-saying

is listening one I had listened most of my time and I could listen as much as I can

So that I had improved my listening ability a lot Besides, working in such full of updated news environment also helped me improve my knowledge I could know most of the current events happened around the world during that time In addition,

it was a chance for me to get used to the working environment that I might be in the future I could know how the work of a translator in such position is

2 Short comings:

One thing that I feel regret is that the internship period was rather short so I could not try in other programs such as cartoons, sports, national geographic, circus whichthe other translators in this section could do

One disadvantage that I had to face was that I could not do my job without a video player However, each translator have their own one, there was only one spare videoplayer which the translator being on pass left for us We had four people who took the internship at the same time there So we had to share it and took advantage of

the other translator days of rest to do our jobs That was why the amount of

programs I did was not much

3 Future orientation:

In future, I will continue maintaining the improvement of the skills that I had got during my internship period The main thing I should do is to continue to practice translating everyday I will also practice listening through the tape or by watching cable TV One thing that I should not forget is to read books and search information

on the Internet to update information and to improve my knowledge as well

1.1 Máy bay rơi xuống sông Hudson

Rạng sáng hôm qua theo giờ Hà Nội, máy bay Airbus A320 đã cất cánh từ sân bay

La Guardina, bang New York đến Charlotte, bang Bắc Carolina, Mỹ Chỉ sau khi cất cánh một phút, chiếc máy bay này đã “đáp” xuống sông Hudson Nguyên nhân ban đầu được cho biết là do máy bay đã đâm phải một đàn ngỗng Thông thường máy bay có thể tiếp tục hoạt động sau khi va chạm với chim nặng tối đa hai

kilogram nhưng vì những chú ngỗng trên có trọng lượng quá lớn đã gây ra vụ tai nạn Ngay sau khi máy bay rơi, những tàu chở khách và cảnh sát đã kịp thời tiếp ứng Nhiều hành khách mặc áo cứu sinh chen chúc trên hai cánh máy bay với nước ngập đến mắc cá chân và thời tiết lạnh cóng để chờ giải cứu Thật may mắn khi toàn bộ 155 hành khách cùng phi hành đoàn đều được an toàn, trong đó chỉ có một

số người bị thương nhẹ

1.2 Kho lương thực Liên Hợp Quốc bên trong dải Gaza chìm trong biển lửa

Khu liên hợp chính của Liên Hiệp Quốc bên trong Dải Gaza chìm trong biển lửa sauđợt tấn công đạn pháo của Israel vào ngày hôm qua Đây là trung tâm cứu trợ nhân

đạo của Liên Hiệp Quốc, chuyên phân phát thực phẩm cho khoảng một triệu người

tị nạn Palestine tại Dải Gaza Lính cứu hoả đã nổ lực dập lửa nhằm cứu vớt phần nào lương thực trong kho Bên cạnh đó, Liên Hiệp Quốc cũng đã liên hệ với quân đội Israel yêu cầu ngừng bắn để trấn áp ngọn lửa nhưng không thành công Ngọn lửa đã nuốt chửng hàng tấn lương thực và hang cứu trợ Tuy vậy, xe tăng của Israel vẫn đang tiếp tục tiến sâu hơn vào Dải Gaza Cuộc chiến Israel phát động tại khu vực này kéo dài hơn nửa tháng nay và đã làm thiệt mạng hơn 1000 người Trước tình hình đó, tổng thư kí Liên Hiệp Quốc ông Ban Ki-Moon đã bày tỏ phẫn nộ và lên án vụ tấn công này Ông Ban Ki-Moon cho hay, phía Israel nói rằng đây là sai lầm nghiêm trọng của họ

1.3 Hillary Clinton được phê chuẩn làm ngoại trưởng Mỹ

Hôm qua, Uỷ Ban Đối Ngoại Thượng Viện Mỹ đã phê chuẩn bà Hillary Clinton, đệ nhất phu nhân cựu tổng thống Mỹ ông Bill Clinton làm ngoại trưởng mới dưới thời tổng thống mới đắc cử Barack Obama Quyết định này vượt lên trở ngại về những rắc rối lien quan đến hoạt động từ thiện của ông Clinton Với số phiếu ủng hộ áp đảo 16/1 cho thấy bà Hillary nhận được nhiều ủng hộ từ các thành viên trong Uỷ Ban Đối Ngoại Thượng Viện Quyết định bổ nhiệm chính thức sẽ được ông Obama tuyên bố trong lễ nhận chức vào ngày 20 tháng 1 sắp tới

1.4 Phát hiện khí mêtan trên sao Hoả

Liệu sự sống có tồn tại trên sao Hỏa? Đây là một vấn đề gây nhiều tranh cải được đặt ra cho các nhà khoa học Đáp án cho câu hỏi trên gần như sáng tỏ khi một số lượng lớn khí Metan được phát hiện ở hành tinh đỏ này Có hai giả thiết được đặt racho việc xuất hiện khí trên Thứ nhất về địa hoá học, đây la phản ứng đơn giản giữacác chất khoáng trong lòng núi lửa tác dụng với nước và giải phóng ra khí Metan Giả thiết thứ hai được quan tâm nhiều hơn thuộc về sinh học, lien quan đến các vi khuẩn sống Khí Metan có thể là chất thải hoặc là thực phẩm của các sinh vật này

Giáo sư Michio Kaku, đại học New York cho biết, ngày nay có lẽ sự sống đang tồn tại dưới lòng đất ở sao Hỏa Trên Trái Đất, khí Metan là một trong những chất khí gây nên hiệu ứng nhà kính và dẫn đến hiện tượng nóng lên toàn cầu Khí này có thểlàm cho sao Hỏa trở thành một hành tinh nhiệt đới như ba tỷ năm trước đây.

2 Nature and Science:

WOLF ATTACKS

The attack took place early in 2008 in a county of Balikun, east of TianShan

Mountain in Xinjiang Visitors to herdsman’s house where the attack had occurred were shocked by what they saw, the body of calculus sheep lying around killed by wolves

On January 15th, 2008 we came to the place where the wolves attack had occurred Balikun County is located east of the TianShan Mountain range where it’s very cold

in winter January is the coldest time on the year

The next day, Nature and Science drove to Kuisu Town, 30 km away from the county seat It snowed the whole way but we eventually arrived then found

TianRongHong, the correspondent who reported the wolf attack

TianRongHong; Public Secretary, Kuisu Town, Balikun County:

“After learning a little more about what had happened, we set out with Mr.Li, the town head, and Mr.Ha, another town head in charge of animal husbandry Around 9o’clock, we arrived at the herdsman’s home I was shocked by the sight that greeted

me when I arrived There were so many sheep that had been killed by wolves I had never seen a real wolf before, although I had certainly heard about them.”

As our request, Tian took us to the settlement of the herdsman in question The place is over 20 km from the town seat The heavy snow and the strong wind so it took us more than an hour to reach the village.

“Let’s have a look”, TianRongHong

The home of HuSaYin, the herdsman who had been attacked by the wolves looked

no difference than any other farm house, but upon entering the house, it would be easy to see that this was a home of a Kazak Recalling the horrible night, it would

be easy to see that HuSaYin still felt very much afraid

HuSaYin:”I saw 1 or 2 injured sheep could hardly stand up They were bleeding from various wound and it seemed quite clear that they were victims of a wolf attack.”

We tried to understand HuSaYin accented Chinese What seemed clear though was that on November 10th, the herdsman drove the herds out and by midnight they decided to take a rest Wolves are nocturnal animals They could the herdsman completely by surprise

Liugou village is not the first place where wolves had attacked HuSaYin’s herds were attacked by wolves at the wintry pasture on North Mount which is nearly 30

km away from the village Not wound after the last wolf attack, HuSaYin moved down hill into the village

“HuSaYin, where do you stay for winter?”

“Just in that mountain Now there are wolves there and we dare not stay any longer

We moved away out of fear of them.”
