MY JOB IN HONGEN
I have been in...at Human for only...almost three months now as
a language consultant.
What is a language consultant? It is an English language consultant.
Where there is a need to have a native English speaking feeling about
the English language that is being used in Hongen...Human products,
I try to... You see the product that is produced here is English.
I don't produce product. It is produced as an English product. I polish
it.
As a consultant, I take the Chinese type of English, the Chinese
style--good English, but it has a Chinese style,and I try to make
it a Western style. There is a subtle difference, but definitely a
difference. It's not in an imaginative difference, it is a difference
in the choice of words, the length of sentence, the type of slang
that you would use. This is what I bring to Hongen, to Hongen's English.
Necessary, very necessary if you want to deal with anybody that
is a native English speaker. I can spot a Chinese essay, story.
We have a website, I run the website. And I can see who's... who
has had native English speaking teaching and who hasn't. It's so clear....
