The finals of the 3rd Chinese-Portuguese Translation Contest for Higher Education Institutions in China were recently and concurrently held at the University of Macau (UM) and Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), with UM students winning some awards in the contest.
Jointly organised by the UM’s Chinese-Portuguese Bilingual Teaching and Training Centre and BFSU’s School of Hispanic and Portuguese Studies, the contest aims to promote exchanges in Portuguese-language teaching between universities in Macau and mainland China, encourage students in Portuguese studies to gain practical experience in Chinese-Portuguese translation, as well as identify high-quality Chinese-Portuguese bilingual talent.
The contest was divided into ‘Undergraduate Group’ and ‘Postgraduate Group’, with each category further divided into two categories, ‘Chinese-to-Portuguese Translation’ and ‘Portuguese-to-Chinese Translation’.
A total of 84 students from 26 universities across Macau and mainland China participated in the contest.
This year, six students from the Department of Portuguese of the UM’s Faculty of Arts and Humanities (FAH) won awards: Tian Xiner won the first prize in the ‘Undergraduate—Portuguese-to-Chinese Translation’ category; Chan Siokuan won the second prize in the ‘Undergraduate—Chinese-to-Portuguese Translation’ category; Yu Qianyao won the third prize in the ‘Undergraduate—Chinese-to-Portuguese Translation’ category; Ruan Chunyue won the third prize in the ‘Undergraduate—Portuguese-to-Chinese Translation’ category; Lian Zimo won the first prize in the ‘Postgraduate—Portuguese-to-Chinese Translation’ category; while Mu Shuang won the second prize in the ‘Postgraduate—Chinese-to-Portuguese Translation’ category, according to the UM.
