Years ago I listened to and translated a Youtube video on welding ( http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-374527-1-1.html ), ecommm asked me if I would like to organize a similar activity, that is, find a video that does not last long and has relatively simple content for dictation and translation. I don’t know what you all the Bamboo adults think? This post was last edited by Qing Mingcup on 2009-2-10 19:59 ]
Not a bad idea. I strongly support it. But can you tell me some specific measures?
ecommm asked me to choose a short video, and then everyone started listening to the translation, and finally I judged it. Of course, I still have to rely on the experts technically, and I have no problem listening to the above.
Let me tell you. If you just listen to the translation, just make an audio. Because your level is a bit low, there are many restrictions on content size and format, so you need to control this. Also, have you thought about how the participants can better limit their mutual influence before the answers are revealed? I have this idea, you can think about it: If you can't upload it, you can record it and send it to me or Echo to upload it for you. For those who participate, you can ask others to upload their answers in the form of attachments first, and temporarily set the download permission to 200. After all participants have finished, I will post everyone's answers in a unified way, and everyone will evaluate them, and reward them accordingly according to their personal circumstances. I wonder what you think? If you have any better ideas, please discuss them.
I have not tried listening to translation before. Wing seems to have done this before. I think it can be considered as part of the fourth translation activity. In the end, should the English and translation be submitted at the same time, or should the original text be finalized first and then translated (if you hear it incorrectly or incompletely, it will directly affect the translation)? How will the results in these two aspects be ultimately judged? It's best to list the specific steps first.
I think we can finalize the original text first. As for the scoring issue, we can discuss it later.
“I have this idea, you can think about it: If you can't upload it, you can record it and send it to me or Echo to upload it for you.

It can prevent the problem of referring to other people's translations. As for the listening translation, I think it is better to give a video, otherwise it will be the first time for everyone.

Okay, you decide on the original text first. But you have to be careful about the difficulty. :D Also, how do participants submit their submissions? In Chinese? English? Or Chinese and English? This post was last edited by Qing Mingcup on 2009-2-2 13:41 ]
If you are not in a hurry, leave this post for a few days to listen to other sea friends’ opinions and suggestions. One of the oral interpretation tests is listening and interpreting. The recording is only played once. After listening, the translation is required to be written within a specified time. Just listen to the translation and give the general meaning. Here we require dictation to write down the original text. Of course, the more accurate the better (because you can listen to it repeatedly). To this end, I have the following suggestions:: 1. The choice of listening and interpreting videos is general English or professional English? Considering the extensive participation of Haiyou, the difficulty should not be too great. 2. If it is decided to hold this event, it is best for Qingming Super Edition to designate one or two moderators to specifically manage this matter (responsible for uploading and summarizing, etc., and I will participate as an ordinary member).
I also support leaving this post open for a few days and listening to everyone's suggestions. I agree with eco's view that materials with moderate difficulty and professionalism should be used for activities. The time cannot be long, about 1 minute.
OK, I think you can use a non-professional excerpt first, or use an introductory text from a chemical plant. After all, the professional gap is too big. For the sake of fairness, it is recommended that echomm or solar read a short passage of 200-500 words as the listening translation material, so that there is a standard original text score. --Just listen to your idol’s voice. Scoring can be based on the comprehensive test rate of submission speed and accuracy. The submission form is best according to Qingming Super Edition, with a one-week submission time.
1 minute seems a bit short...
One minute for professional listening is just right, not too long
It is a good activity, which is conducive to the active participation of sea friends and increases the popularity. But this clip cannot be too long, it must be controlled within 1 minute, and the difficulty level must be well controlled. If it is too difficult, sea friends will lose interest in participating again after participating a few times. It would be best if the source of the information is the first one. No one can find it. I force you to listen patiently. This achieves our original intention of learning together * , improve together.
Regarding the issue of data length. I'm worried that 1 minute is too short? Because if it is a technical introduction, 1 minute is definitely not enough. In addition, this is different from the listening test. You can listen to it repeatedly, but you can only upload it once. Once uploaded, you cannot change it, and you cannot refer to other people's responses to ensure the fairness of the competition.
Although I don't have the time or energy to participate in this event, I would like to express my serious support! :victory: We have set one milestone after another for the club from the initial forum discussion to the establishment of QQ group, to the establishment of Skype group, to the reading competition, to several translation activities, and now to the listening translation that is still in the process of being planned. Each one of them embodies the hard work of club lovers. Although there are some disappointments, our progress is intuitive and visible. 2009 is the year of Haichuan Technology Development. Our expansion of activities from translation to listening and interpretation is in response to this call, which is a good start!
I think this suggestion is good. We can coordinate together and understand our own listening ability and reading and writing level. It is recommended that we cancel the information about propaganda from now on.* English information, such as "How to learn * English?, how to improve English level, etc." I think these are all meaningless posts, there is no need to exist anymore. Because everyone should know after so much experience. English learning * * If you rely on your own perseverance and hard work.
Instead of uploading, it is better to find it directly online. There are endless kinds of videos and audios on the Internet. In addition, uploading and downloading are omitted, and more people will participate: lol In addition, it is recommended to set the reply to be visible or set a higher number of permissions, and the edit will be invalid, forcing the poster to post carefully. :) Wait until the post is closed before unifying the ratings so that it can be fair and just:handshake
1. Let Wing select the video address of the listening and interpretation materials. The selected video must have no text description. 2. "Set replies visible" is inappropriate. ---- For example, I take up a seat to comment first, and then refer to other people's edited comments - this is unfair. 3. Once uploaded, it cannot be changed or deleted. Each person can only upload once. 4. If item 3 is not feasible, set higher permissions to be visible. Wait until the answer is announced before revoking permission.
I'll leave this post open for a few days and take a look at everyone's opinions. I will post a video before next Monday. I agree with the specific details.
