Source text - Chinese 女：地球上70%都是被水覆盖的，而9成以上是海水。对于人类而言，海洋是生命的摇篮、是风雨的故乡、是五洲的通道、是资源的宝库。人们自古以来就萌生了探索海洋的欲望，并在不断实践着。随着科技进步，人们对于海洋的认知也逐步提高，到文明高度发达的今天，海洋馆的建立使得人们能够更加轻松地了解海洋文化。今天我们带您走进工体富国海底世界，一起去游览神秘多彩的海底风光。
Translation - English 70% of the earth is covered in water, the vast majority of which is seawater. From the perspective of humans, oceans are the cradle of life: they are the origin of the wind and rain, the passageway to the five continents, and the special source [treasure-trove] of many natural resources. Since ancient times, man has had the strong desire to explore the oceans and has unceasingly been putting this into practice. In line with developments in technology, man's knowledge of the oceans has gradually improved - right up to the 'highly-developed civilisation' of today, where the aquarium has allowed people to understand marine life with relative ease. Today, we bring you to [the] Gong Ti (Workers’) Aquarium. Let's go together and visit the mysterious and colourful sights from the bottom of the sea.
Woman: Beijing Gong Ti Aquarium is the first five-star-standard seawater aquarium in Beijing, and was jointly established by China and New Zealand. It was constructed in 1997 and is Fu Guo Shi Jie Entertainment Ltd's first aquarium in the Asian-Pacific region, as well as also being the capital's first seawater aquarium. It is principally located beneath the artificial lake at Beijing Worker's Stadium. It was designed by the world famous aquarium company, New Zealand Hai Feng [company]. The entire exterior, which has a total area of 7800m2, is like a sailboat sailing in water. Beijing Gong Ti Aquarium is representative of technology in aquariums, boasting the longest acrylic (glue?) underwater tunnel in Asia, with a total length of 120m. This can give visitors a similar perspective to a diver, for people [visitors] can enjoy the beautiful scenery from the bottom of the sea all around them.
Woman: At the Aquarium's seawater fish exhibition area, there are many different species of fish and marine animals found in marine ecosystems all over the world. At the ‘estuary saltwater expo’, there are eurysaline fish and Australian pig-nosed turtles, which both live in mangrove estuary waters; in addition, there is the reef ecosystem display area where one can ‘feel’ [get a feeling for] the bright and colourful species found in the world’s most complex coral reef ecosystems. The aquarium's (Hai Di Shi Jie's) saltwater fish exhibition area also established a separate [main] aquarium to exhibit these extremely special marine animals. Among the principal exhibits are the seahorses, the jellyfish, the sea anemone and anemone fish expo, and the butterfly fish display etc.

I am currently working as a freelance translator in French/Spanish/Chinese>English while also assisting companies setting up in China through a separate company. I have been working as a full-time translator for over two years now and have undertaken projects from across a brand range of industries, including fashion, mobile phones and the media. These projects have been both standard text translations and also working with audio-visual materials (transcribing and translation of subtitles).
I pride myself on being able to offer translation in a variety of different fields, from the more standard domains (finance, technology) to more culturally-specific areas (history, art, culture).
