In Emmis Küche, am Morgen nachdem sie Ali, einen marokkanischen Gastarbeiter, eingeladen hat, mit ihr zu übernachten.
1. Ali: Dein Kaffee, immer gut.
2. Emmi: Ich kann überhaupt gut kochen. Du mußt mal zum Essen kommen. Es schmeckt dir bestimmt.
3. Ali: Bestimmt.
4. Emmi: Vielleicht…
Ali: Yes?
Emmi: Ach, nichts, ich dachte nur … Ich, alte Frau, ich …
5. Ali: Du nicht alte Frau, du viel gut. Große Herz.
6. Emmi: Ja? … Mein Gott. (Sie fängt an zu weinen)
Ali: Nichts weinen. Bitte, warum weinen?
Emmi: Weil ich so glücklich bin, und weil ich solche Angst habe.
7. Ali: Nichts Angst. Angst nichts gut. Angst essen Seele auf.
8. Emmi: Angst ißt Seele auf. Das klingt schön. Sagt man so bei euch?
9. Ali: Ja, alle Araber spricht das.
10. Ali: Schon spät. Muß gehen. Spät kommt, nichts gut.
11. Ali: Meister sauer mit Ali, viel gemein.
12. Emmi: Ja, ich muß auch gehen. Ich ziehe nur schnell was an, dann gehen wir zusammen runter.

5. Ali: You not old, you good. Big heart.
6. Emmi: Yes? … My God. (She begins to cry)
Ali: No cry. Please, why cry?
Emmi: Because I am so happy, and because I have so much fear.
7. Ali: No fear. Fear bad. Fear eats soul.

9. Ali: Yes, all Arabs say that.
10. Ali: It's late. Must go. Come late, not good.
11. Ali: Boss bad mood with Ali, much mean.
12. Emmi: Yes, I have to go too, we can go down together.
German to English: Mt Coot-tha Forest (English to German translation) General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - German Mt Coot-tha Forest
Mt Coot-tha Forest is part of Brisbane Forest Park, a 28,500 hectare nature reserve. Mt Coot-tha Forest occupies about 1,500 hectares and is managed by Brisbane City Council.
Sir Samuel Griffith Drive is an excellent scenic drive winding up the eastern slopes of the Taylor Range to the Mt Coot-tha Lookout. The Lookout is the traditional place to take out-of-town visitors on their arrival to Brisbane. Here, panoramic views of the Great Dividing Range, Moreton Bay and islands, the City and surrounding suburbs are guaranteed. You will also find a tea house and restaurant for light refreshments or more formal dining. The scenic drive then follows the ridge line for several kilometres and descends to Simpson’s Road (passing recreation area at Simpson Falls). A night visit to Mt Coot-tha offers a whole new view of the City with its fairyland of lights.
Translation - English Mount Coot-tha Regenwald
Der Mount Coot-tha Regenwald ist ein Teil von Brisbane Wald Park, ein Naturschutzgebiet von 28, 500 Hektar. Mount Coot-tha Regenwald nimmt eine Fläche von insgesamt von etwa 1,500 Hektar ein, und wird von der Stadt Brisbane mitverwaltet.
Sir Samuel Griffith Drive ist ein landschaftlich schöner Fahrweg, der auf der östliche Seite der ‘Taylor Range’ kurvenreich den Berg hinauf zu dem Mount Coot-tha Aussichtspunkt führt. Der Aussichtspunkt ist der traditionelle Platz wo man Besucher der Stadt Brisbane bei ihrer Ankunft hinfährt. Hier sind Panoramablicke auf die ‘Great Dividing Range’, ‘Moreton Bay’ und ihre Inseln, das Stadtzentrum und die Umgebung garantiert. Hier befindet sich auch ein Café mit Restaurant für kleine Erfrischungen oder á la carte Speisen. Der landschaftlich schöne Fahrweg folgt dann mehrere Kilometer dem bergkamm, die zu ‘Simpson’s Road’ hinunter geht (durch das Erholungsgebiet bei ‘Simpson Falls’). Ein Abendbesuch auf Mount Coot-tha zeigt eine neue Aussicht auf die Stadt: eines beleuchtetes Märchenland.

Bachelor's degree - The University of Auckland
Experience
Years of experience: 3. Registered at ProZ.com: Feb 2009.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in German, and also a Certificate in Travel Studies. I have studied various legal papers towards a Graduate Diploma in Business Studies, specializing in Dispute Resolution. I am now studying part-time towards my second passion of photography, whilst working.
I love languages, I am bi-lingual in English and German as I have lived in Switzerland for about 10 years, and studied the German language over a period of 5 years (at University level, plus numerous years during high school).
I translate from German to English. I am happy to consider various assignments. Acceptance of any job will be based on the needs of the client and my ability to translate any possible assignment to a professional high standard (depending on subject area etc.).
Regarding fees, at this time, based on having limited experience, I will go as low as €0,60, which works out at €18 per standard page (30 standard lines), price is per line with 55 characters incl. spaces (target language English).
Thank you.
