German to Chinese: Der Bart ist ab General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - German Spätestens als auch Polizisten in Großstadtrevieren anfingen, Hipster-Bärte zu tragen, ging ein Phänomen zu Ende, dessen zentraler Ehrgeiz auf Distinktion zielte: der Wunsch, sich abzusetzen, schneller zu sein als die Schlafmützen. Der Hipster war die Verkörperung dessen, was Soziologen Individualisierung nennen. Und weil Individualisierung ein gesamtgesellschaftlicher Prozess der westlichen Spätmoderne war, war auch der Hipster in seinem Bemühen, besonders zu sein, ein kollektives Phänomen. Dieses Paradox trug er als Bürde mit sich, ohne daran zu zerbrechen.
Translation - Chinese 最迟到连大都市区的警察也开始蓄潮客式的络腮胡之时，一种主要志在卓尔不群 的（文化）现象便走向了终结：拥趸们曾怀揣愿景，希望自己标新立异，比那些 抱残守缺的人更快（地走到时代的前面）。潮客是社会学家口中个性化的化身。 而且因为个性化是一次全社会范围内的西方晚期现代性进程，潮客在努力追求与 众不同的过程中也成为了一种集体现象。这种悖论化作无法抛却的精神负累，（而） 潮客（选择）与之共存，哀而不伤。

I am Sharon, originally from Wei Haizhu District, Guangzhou, China. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Germanistik from Sichuan Institute of Foreign Languages, obtained in June 2010. With certifications in CET-6 in English and PGG-4 in German, I am proficient in both languages. My translation journey began at Ghuangzhou Globus Baumarkt Business Service Co., Ltd, where I worked as a Merchandiser from 2018 to 2023. During this time, I served as an interpreter at the Spoga Fair in 2019, facilitating communication between German buyers and Chinese suppliers. My translation experience includes significant projects such as translating 30,000 words for the Foreign Trade Program (German-Chinese Simplified) and 50,000 words for Building & Construction (English-Chinese Simplified). Proficient in various translation tools including Trados and memoQ, I am well-equipped to handle diverse translation tasks with precision and efficiency.
