Guidelines for the 4^th National Competition for

Helen Snow Translation Award

Helen Foster Snow (HFS) is a famous American writer, journalist, social activist and dedicated friend of the Chinese people. In order to promote the mutual understanding and friendship between the two countries and people, to carry forward her legacy of “bridging,” to intrigue interest in translation among college students and to find talented young translators, the Shaanxi Translation Association (STA) has established the “Helen Snow Translation Award.” In China, the STA has successfully sponsored three previous competitions nationwide. The Fourth National Competition for the HFS Translation Award is scheduled for 2012. It is jointly sponsored by China Society for People’s Friendship Studies, Edgar Snow Center of China in Peking University, Southern Utah University (SUU) in the United States, and the STA. The guidelines for the competition are as follows:

First, the competition is designed for bilingual translation consisting of two divisions which are English-Chinese Translation and Chinese-English Translation. The English passage is selected from the original writings by Helen Foster Snow. The Chinese passage is selected from authentic translation of Helen’s writings or articles about Helen Snow. The guidelines will be released in the second issue of China Translators Journal 2012. The two passages to be translated will be published and can be downloaded from the website of STA: hppt//www.chsta.org.

Second, to be eligible, the contestants must be students from higher learning institutions in China, including undergraduates, junior college students, and graduate students. The contestants are required to fill in their Student ID Numbers on the information form. Participation in the competition is free of charge.

Third, the top award is a tuition scholarship being offered by SUU for spring semester 2013. First, Second and Third Place Awards will be given in each of the two translation divisions (C-E and E-C), plus Awards of Excellence and Certificates of Honor. One of the two First Award winners will receive the SUU scholarship after an additional English proficiency test and interview. The scholarship winner and finalized name list of all winners will be published on the STA website along with authentic translation of the two passages.

Fourth, it is imperative to carry forward Helen Snow’s code of honor, “honesty, faith, and seeking truth from fact.” To this end, it is expected that all entrants guarantee the work they submit to the competition is their own. Additional test and interviews will be arranged for the award winning candidates.

Fifth, the competition is under the direction of the STA Sub-committee for Translation Theory Studies and Language Teaching. The Awards Committee is composed of noted experts in foreign language education, bilingual translation and literary review. Review of the English-Chinese and the Chinese-English papers will be evaluated separately by two different groups under the Awards Committee. The competition is supervised by the Edgar & Helen Snow Studies Center entrusted by the Helen Foster Snow Literary Trust in the United States.

Sixth, translation papers should be printed on A4 paper by using New Times Roman Size 12 and Song Style characters in Size 4 minus. Contestants are not allowed to give hint of their names, gender and school on the paper in any way or via any form. Otherwise the translation paper is disqualified for any award. The contestant is required to fill in his/her personal information in a separate page attached to the translation paper.

Seventh, the deadline for submitting papers is June 30, 2012. All translation papers must be sent by postal mail to the STA office and postmarked on or before that date.

E-C Translation 4.English-英译汉.doc

We embarked by ship on our journey in the halcyon days of the winter solstice. “It is the most auspicious time for new beginnings,” I told Ed. I had bought some beautiful earrings made of blue-green kingfisher feathers, and I told Ed about the charming superstition taught me by an Old China Hand sea captain: The halcyon days were the fourteen days at the time of the winter solstice when the sea was unnaturally calm, so that the halcyon, or kingfisher, could brood on its nest floating in the ocean. All nature, sun and sea, obeyed the halcyon bird in its breeding season.

The world stood still on halcyon days. It was a time for the birth of Christ and for Joshua to pretend to command the sun and for King Canute to command the waves. It was time for the Word to go forth upon the living waters, a time to create new worlds. It was a time for sailors to forswear their profane oaths. It was a time for an odyssey under the Southern Cross following in the wake of Magellan. It would always be the time for the big events in my life, though I never planned it that way. I did not like living death or darkness. I struggled towards the light at the winter solstice.

On that halcyon journey, those two young people were unafraid. They were claiming kinship with all of nature in all hemispheres, with all people in all countries, with all minds in all kinds of books.

For reading on the ship we took G. B. Shaw’s The Intelligent Women’s Guide to Socialism and Capitalism, and H. G. Well’s Outline of History as well as his 1932 book, The Work, Wealth, and Happiness of Mankind. Americans had not as yet started to think, but we carried along George Dorsey’s Why We Behave Like Human Beings, which I showed to the British pukka sahib Resident in Borneo with one word inserted:
