Admission Essay: Scientific Medical Translation

Paper Summary:

The paper explains that the author's university degree thesis focused on technical and scientific matters and utilized a wide vocabulary from the medical and biological disciplines, which enabled the applicant to gain a strong grounding and preparation for technical vocabulary and an understanding medical and scientific matters. The author points out that her work for a company translating agricultural, scientific, and medical texts highlighted the delicate balance between subjectivity and objectivity in the art of translating another's words and thoughts into another language and cultural system of ideas. The paper stresses that medical and scientific words often have a different meaning in the technical lexicon of the profession or a discipline than they do in more colloquial usage; therefore, the most gratifying aspect of her work was having a part in making the often difficult and frightening world of medicine and the sciences comprehensible.

From the Paper:

"I obtained my university degree this summer, in July of 2004. I received a degree in translation and interpreting, the "Mediazione Linguistica" (Final Mark 105/110) from la Scuola Superiore per Mediatori Linguistici Gregorio VII, Rome. Previously, in July 2000 I received my Diploma di Liceo Linguistico (95/100), Liceo Linguistico N.S. della Mercede in Rome as well. Thus, my education has revolved around this diverse and exciting European city, filled with the languages of many foreign-speaking individuals, tourists and professionals."
