English to Czech: Falling short: seven writers reflect on failure General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English The reason for it was banal. Having fallen in love when I was 15, and become engaged to marry the man I loved three years later, I had known exactly what my future was to be. As soon as I finished my education at Oxford (not before, because I was enjoying it so much) we would be married. I would join him wherever he happened to be stationed (he was an officer in the RAF) and my life as a wife would begin. I didn't doubt for a moment that it would be happy. My childhood and teenage years had been very happy so I was a young woman who expected the answer "Yes". And then, not suddenly, but with excruciating slowness, I got the answer "No".
Translation - Czech Příčina tohoto mého stavu byla relativně banální. V 15 letech jsem se zamilovala a o tři roky později jsem byla s mužem mého srdce zasnoubená, takže jsem si myslela, že přesně vím, co mě v životě čeká. Vzali bychom se, jakmile bych dokončila svá studia na Oxfordu (ne dříve, protože studium mě velmi těšilo). Jela bych s ním tam, kam by byl převelen (byl důstojníkem v britském Královském letectvu), a započala by se etapa mého života jako vdané ženy. Ani na chvíli jsem nepochybovala o tom, že to bude úžasné. Období mého dětství i dospívání bylo krásné a jako mladá žena jsem očekávala, že se mi v životě dostane toho, co jsem si vysnila. Pak ale přišlo odmítnutí. Odmítnutí, které navíc nenastalo náhle, ale mučivě pomalu.

Bio
I am an over-the-phone Czech interpreter with hundreds of hours of experience. As a Czech-English phone interpreter, I have been mostly working for state organisations and agencies, e.g. social services, the education and healthcare system, and financial institutions. I have underwent extensive training and received excellent feedback from both managers and clients. I can provide letters of reference and certificates for the numerous trainings I have completed.
I am also an English to Czech translator and proofreader.
I combine my love for languages with my interest in marketing, social sciences, gastronomy, and fitness.
I know what difference a good quality translation can make and I make sure the translation fulfills its function. I enjoy helping my clients meet their goals, reach Czech customers, communicate with new business partners and clients.
If you need a translator specialized in nutrition, fitness, yoga, herbal medicine, humanities, social sciences, tourism or marketing, here I am.
