    Mei wants to work as a translator when she grows up.

    逐字美想要當一位譯者當她長大的時候。

    translator 指「把寫好的文字改成另一種語言的人」，中文常說「譯者」或「翻譯者」。畫面可以想成：書、信、故事已經寫在紙上（或螢幕上），translator 把它搬到另一種語言。跟 interpreter 容易搞混——translator 多半處理文字，interpreter 是當場把聽到的話立刻說成另一種語言。

core核心畫面

Picture someone with a text in front of them, reading a sentence in one language and writing it out again in another so that a new reader can meet it. The work is done on the page, with time to weigh each word — which is what separates this job from the one done live, out loud.

可以想成：一個人面前擺著文本，讀一句原文，再用另一種語言把它寫出來，好讓另一群讀者也能讀到。這份工作是在紙上（或螢幕上）完成的，有時間慢慢斟酌每一個字——這正是它跟「現場口說」那份工作最大的分別。
