Korean to English: K-Food General field: Other Detailed field: Food & Drink
Source text - Korean 근대화 이후 한국에는 세계 각국의 음식들이 들어왔습니다. 중국음식, 일본음식, 이탈리아 음식은 물론 아메리칸 패스트푸드도 일상에서 접하게 되었습니다. 중요한 사실은 본고장을 능가하는 요리 솜씨 및 식품제조 기술을 갖게 됐다는 점입니다. 더 이상 외국에 나가지 않더라도 다른 나라의 음식을 쉽게 맛볼 수 있고 게다가 더 맛있게 먹을 수 있게 됐습니다.
지금 한국식품은 이러한 발전된 제조기술을 바탕으로 세계로 확산하고 있습니다. 김치, 떡, 막걸리 등의 전통식품만 ‘한식한류’의 대열에 서 있는 것은 아닙니다. 한국 기업이 만든 서양식 식품류들이 세계 곳곳에서 호평을 받고 있습니다. 마치 사막에 모래를 팔고, 알래스카에 얼음을 파는 모습을 연상케 합니다.
“어? 우리나라 신라면이네!!” 한국 여행객들이 외국에서 흔히 하는 말입니다. 그만큼 여러 나라에 진출해서 한국의 맛을 전하고 있는 신라면. 이 라면은 유럽의 지붕 스위스 융프라우의 정상에 위치한 전망대 상점에서도 판매되고 있습니다. 지금까지 신라면의 누적 판매량은 2백억 봉지가 넘는다고 합니다. 얼른 감이 오지 않는 개수인데요. 지구를 96바퀴 돌 수 있고 에베레스트 산을 200,000회 이상 왕복할 수 있는 양이라고 합니다.
Translation - English Since modernization, Korea has seen a variety of international cuisines arrive in the country. Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and of course American fast foods are now easy to grab in our daily lives. What’s more important is that Korea now has more competitive culinary skills and food manufacturing technology than those of the homeland countries. People no longer need to go abroad for international dishes that are easy to taste domestically. Moreover, they can be even more delicious than native dishes.
Based on developed manufacturing technology, Korean dishes are now spreading over the world. Not only Kimchi, Ddeok and rice wine are riding the K-food Wave, but also western dishes made by Korean companies are being acclaimed around the world. It seems like selling sand in the desert, and ice in Alaska.
“Isn’t that Shin-Ra-Myun?” This is what you can commonly hear from Korean tourists overseas. This shows how widely Shin-Ra-Myun has entered many other countries’ markets and delivered the taste of Korea. It is even being sold at the observatory shop in Jungfraujoch, the roof of Europe. So far, the accumulated sales figure of Shin-Ra-Myun is more than 20 billion bags. That’s a figure hard to quantify as quickly, but it is said that the number of sales is equivalent to the 96 times of going round the Earth, or the 200 thousand times of going up and down Mt. Everest.
English to Korean: The manager of the future will need to be much more technologically sophisticated... General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Business/Commerce (general)
Source text - English We also hope to highlight some of the challenges that continuing advances in science and technology are likely to create for managers. There is the immediate challenge of recognizing which of these advances is likely to be important for a particular firm.
More fundamentally, however, our results suggest that it will be increasingly impossible to manage “technology” or “science” as a thing apart from the human, social, and financial systems that make up a firm: that decisions about technology will have to be deeply integrated into the heart of the firm.
This implies that the manager of the future will need to be much more technologically sophisticated than his predecessor: that technology will no longer be something that can be safely left to the technologists. Our results also raise broader questions about issues of social justice and about the goals to which we harness technology.
Translation - Korean 또한 우리 연구진들은 과학 기술이 지속적으로 발전하는 과정에서 경영인들이 겪게 될 고충들 중 일부분을 조명하고자 한다. 당장만 해도, 앞서 소개한 기술 진보들 중 어떤 것이 기업의 미래에 큰 영향을 미칠 지 파악해야 하는 것이 특정 기업들의 숙제이다.
그러나 더 궁극적으로 이번 연구에서 밝히고자 하는 것은, 기업의 근간인 인사, 조직, 재무 구조와 과학기술은 앞으로 점점 더 뗄 수 없는 관계가 된다는 것이다. 앞으로 기업의 과학기술 관련 결정과 기업의 시스템은 함께 갈 수 밖에 없으며, 이는 미래 기업의 핵심이 될 것이다.
즉, 미래의 경영인들은 과거의 그들보다 훨씬 더 기술에 대해 많이 알고 이해해야 함을 의미한다. 이제 기술은 기술자가 아닌, 경영자에게도 중요한 요소이기 때문이다. 또한 연구 결과를 바탕으로, 과학 기술을 활용한 목표와 사회적 정의 문제에 대해 보다 폭넓은 질문을 던질 것이다.

Bio
Hello! My name is Hyun Sun Ahn. I am a Korean-native translator based in South Korea. I graduated from Cyber Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in 2019, with a B.A. in English(Interpretation&Translation) and also a 4.41/4.50 GPA.
I am a part of a group of Marriott International translators, currently working as a translator for regular Marriott International projects. And I recently passed the sampling test(August, 2020) for another Marriott project that is Marriott Digital Service.
I also volunteer for TED as an English-Korean translator. You can check out my translations or reviews for TED here: https://www.ted.com/profiles/9084838/translator
I have a strong work ethic. I meet a deadline and strictly follow a style guide or guidance provided by my client or agency. I am also very responsive to emails or inquiries that are work-related. Most of all, I do lots of research into any subjects or words that give me doubts in order to improve my knowledge about what I translate. That way, I can provide as best a quality translation as possible. On top of that, I try to pinpoint expressions that can best represent the meaning of the source text in Korean. I believe that such skill is what makes our human translators different from machine translation.
Please find my CV attached in this Proz profile and feel free to ask me any questions or offer me a sample test at your earliest convenience. I am looking forward to working with you soon!
