Bulletin Autumn 1975

Chinese-English Translation Conference The Chinese University has devoted much effort to bridging the East and West. In 1969, the Extramural Studies Department, the Chinese Language Press Institute and The Asia Foundation, Hong Kong, co-sponsored an international Symposium on English- Chinese Translation in February and a Workshop on News Translation —Moon-landing in Septembe The Centre for Translation Projects (Translation Centre) was established in 1971, engaging in various translation/publication projects. The contribution of the University to the interflow of Eastern and Western cultures and to translation has long been recognized by overseas scholars and members of the University are often invited to attend international conferences. An international Chinese-English Translation Conference was held from 18th to 22nd August, 1975 in Hong Kong. We naturally welcomed this opportunity of taking part in a Conference which was to study problems in another major area of our translation activities, Chinese-English translation.
