The professor (教授) said they could bring any books or notes they wanted. They went into the room. The professor gave out the papers. And smiles became bigger as the students saw there were only five easy questions. Three hours passed. The professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. Instead, they looked scared. The professor asked, “How many of you finished all five questions?” Nobody raised their hands. “How many answered four?” Still no hands. “Three? Two?” “One, then?” But the class still stayed quiet. The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I expected,” he said. “I just want to tell you that even though you have finished four years of college, there are still many things about engineering that you don't know. The questions you could not answer are about things you will work with every day.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this course, but remember even though you are now college graduates, your education has just started.” Not everyone remembers this professor's name.

As a translator, musician and mother of two, Janet Gesme speaks English, German, Russian, and Spanish. She fully understands Christopher’s intentions (意图) and has managed to express each idea in his voice. We recently had the chance to interview Gesme, who provided us with some fantastic insights. How does a U.S./English-speaking reader differ from a European/German-speaking one? The German-speaking readers are usually more patient and willing to read longer texts for a better understanding of an idea. But that was not the case with Christopher Schacht’s book. He writes quick, exciting, short stories that make you laugh and make your eyes pop out in surprise. There was no need to change the style: his writing is exactly what an English-speaking reader loves. What were the challenges or joys of translating Around the World on 50 Bucks? First, we were on a short timeline, so I needed to translate the whole book in three months. That meant a lot of late nights. The second challenge was Christopher’s sense of humour. Some of his humour is based on German culture that are very hard to translate. This leads into the joys as well. Christopher and I communicated online weekly while translating the book. We brainstormed together on how to find English equivalents (对应词) for the German style of humour. One of the themes of this book is communicating through barriers (障碍). From your point of view, how would someone interested in travelling best learn a new language in a strange place? Christopher has great tips for this in the book: Use apps and dictionaries to learn as many words ahead of time as possible. When travelling, you often have to wait a lot. This is the perfect time to learn. Then talk to people. You will make mistakes and it will be hard, but it is helpful and you’ll gain a lot.
