Kevin 此段含有哲理。

雨果将外表美和心灵美区分得这么极端,产生的对比效果确实很强烈。去谒“先贤祠”时,我曾在他墓前站了很久,直到同游的一帮浙美和四川美院的朋友们来催了：“光脱脱的有什么好看的，大家都在前边雕塑那儿等你呢！” 可是我仍然在想，怎么我看到过的人，凡是心灵美的，外表也绝不会差呀？ 至今我还是在生活中寻找“卡西莫多”的例子。

Wenjer 和 Betty，

关于对“flag”的翻译方法，我们可以继续商榷。

有一点有必要解释一下。那就是，对某个提问者插旗的功能，是为了让会员能够在自己的控制台作出设定，使被插旗的提问者(因为会员通常对该提问者的问题感兴趣或对其人有好感)在每次登出问题后，要求网站发电子邮件通知自己，然后在接到通知后就可以尽早去答题了。而“filter”某提问者的功能恰好与之相反，是用于设定你的控制台，要求网站在某某人提问时，不要再发邮件通知你。这是用于你不感冒的的人的。

希望这个解释对大家有帮助。

PK,

Thank you for bringing up the TCH localization request! Well, I did not forget you and other TCH readers. At this moment, I am tryting to convert Wenjer into a SCH reader, hopfully I will be successful.

I proposed to start with the SCH localization, mainly because there are more SCH members and users here to read SCH and help with the SCH localization. We are taking SCH as a trial version, and hope it will be successful. Then, I will definately push for TCH version. Right now, I have to push hard to get the SCH localization moving forward. Can you imagine what I will be like if the TCH localization is also undertaking at the same time?

For some strange reason, I do not see many translators from Hong Kong and Taiwan come here and explore this wonderful site and networking with the wonderful people here. I wonder if there are not many translators in Taiwan and Hong Kong? Or they think we are not user-friendly to the translators from Taiwan and Hong Kong? I hope my Hong Kong Pal Angus Woo can give me some inputs.

A couple days ago, I had chance to talk about the Chinese sector with Henry, the founder of this website. He happily informed me that the Chinese sector has been the fastest growing sector at ProZ.com. He is very pleased with the development of our sector. He thanked you all for for your good work and participation here.

It is my dream to have both SCH and TCH interfaces running at this website. Considering the manpower and resources, we just have to do the SCH version for now.

On the other hand, I might say a few words on behalf of our peers from HK. Although I am not sure exactly why there aren't many HK translator here, my guess would be that since HK is a relatively small place (unless you are comparing it with a country like Haiti), with population of just over 6 million and a truly bilingual society - pretty much like Singapore, a sort of melting pot, blending the West and the Orient, so it's not a surprise to find that many people don't need the help of a translator. Therefore, comparatively speaking, there are fewer translators in HK than in places like China and Taiwan. Another reason could be money, you see, this is a very expensive city. The average monthly income of a junior bank teller would be around USD1000-1500 which is not considered by many as decent. I leave the rest to your imagination lest some people might be infuriated.

Another thing could be that there aren’t many Cantonese projects here, much less than what a local translation agency could offer. The rest is again another session for your imagination to work its wonders.

It seems this thread stopped functioning. Let me kick it to run again.

Are there any new suggestions to the Chinese website? Please post them here for Kevin to know.

Thanks!

唯一的意見就是﹕給我看，就給你意見，不給我看，那就『很有意見』了。在港台地區，意見=suggestion, opinion, 在中國大陸是不是有『批評』或『負面』的意思？

这种精神很值得瞻仰和学习。大家都知道中文不是我的母语，从我的中文帖子也看得出我的中文水准不怎么样，所以我不能担当翻译的任务。我能做的只是帮忙校对，看看哪儿有打错的字或layout问题。我今天才发现我可以看到我们的中文网站了。我现在就到那儿兜兜，若有什么发现，就会立刻汇报。
