我在好几篇小说中都提到过一座废弃的古园，实际就是地坛。许多年前旅游业还没有开展，园子荒

芜冷落得如同一片野地，很少被人记起。

地坛离我家很近。或者说我家离地坛很近。总之，只好认为这是缘分。

地坛在我出生前四百多年就坐落在那儿了，而自从我的祖母年轻时带着我父亲来到北京，就一直住

在离它不远的地方——五十多年间搬过几次家，可搬来搬去总是在它周围，而且是越搬离它越近了。

your fate; if you will not be resigned to indulging yourself in melancholy like a silkworm confined to its

cocoon(茧), the best option is to spare no effort in search of happiness and build your own ideal world.

Do not be too hard on yourself.

Keep it in mind, your happiness and your world are your own property!

What will the face of translation and interpreting look like in the future? For millennia, living, breathing

translators and interpreters have embodied unparalleled linguistic skills, specialised training, professional

conduct and overarching passion for their work. The best equipment can help them do an even better job, but

cannot get to the heart and soul of a text or the nuance of negotiations. Let International Translation Day 2015

be a celebration of the great advances that have been made in translation and interpreting tools, and most

importantly, celebrate the individuals who are the beating heart of this profession. For they have made the

global village not just a possibility but also a reality. A connected, communication highway that runs across

time zones, languages and continents, a universe full of past, present and future possibilities.
