student and a Bulgarian-English translator

.Profile.

I’ve always loved reading adventure
stories and imagined that one day I’ll be the main character in one.
Therefore, in a search for my adventure, I seize every opportunity to travel
and have visited a few countries so far.

| It
is hard to find a buried treasure or to come up face to face with life-threatening
dangers while your travel comrades are a bunch of old ladies and gentlemen,
armed with cameras and sandwiches. And instead of a captain there’s the
humble tourist guide, who’s terrified by the idea of losing a sheep out
of his sight… |
.
| But
what I’ve learned of my travels is that generally there’s a lot of
misunderstanding and illiteracy going around. Language barriers prevent
people of seeing clearly and they are still being blinded by prejudice
and misleading information. |
...
..
| In
my opinion the work of translators is to draw this curtain of misperception
and tear it apart. I’d be satisfied if what I do manages to create even
a small hole in it, for the light to come in. |
