Our students were deeply inspired by the intricate connections between visual art and linguistic expression. The exhibitions provided invaluable context for understanding how cultural nuances are conveyed across different mediaโa lesson that resonates strongly with the art of translation. The experience reinforced the importance of cultural literacy in our field and sparked meaningful discussions about the role of translators and interpreters as cultural mediators.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Hong Kong Museum of Art for their generous support and for waiving the entry fee to the Min Chiu Society exhibition. Special thanks to Ms. Carina Khan for her insightful docent tour, and to Dr. Chester Cheng, Dr. Sienna Xu, Dr. Wei Jiang, and Ms. Hongmei Yang for making this enriching experience possible for our students.

On the afternoon of Friday, October 31st, 35 Master of Arts students from CUHKโs Department of Translation had the privilege of exploring two remarkable exhibitions at the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Our students from the Arts Translation, Simultaneous Interpreting, and Consecutive Interpreting courses experienced firsthand how art transcends language and culture.
The visit featured two captivating exhibitions: Engaging Past Wisdom: Min Chiu Society at Sixty-five, which offered profound insights into Chinese cultural heritage, and Shopping in Canton: China Trade Art in the 18th and 19th Centuries (Phase V), where we were expertly guided by Ms. Carina Khan. Her docent tour brought the historical narratives of cross-cultural exchange to life, perfectly complementing our studentsโ studies in translation and interpretation.

The Department of Translation welcomes local applicants, mainland Gaokao candidates, and international students. This year, several students joined via international admissions. We invited them to share their backgrounds and experiences. Here is a reflection from Sofia:
I am Sofia from Macao, a freshman majoring in Translation. Before embarking on this new journey at CUHK, I had studied in an English-medium school for 12 years. Many might have asked โ Why are you still choosing translation as your major in this era of AI? Itโs my family background and personal interests that sparked my passion for translation. Growing up in a bilingual environment, Iโve always been fascinated by how languages connect people. On top of that, I love watching films from all over the world, where subtitles and good translation are essential for understanding and enjoyment.

Returning to campus, I was initially very anxious, afraid I wouldnโt keep up with the study pace. The curriculum in the Translation Department is rigorous, and the professorsโ requirements are meticulous, yet this pressure is gradually helping me regain my academic rhythm. The substantial space for discussion in class often sparks new insights, which is truly gratifying.
My relationship with translation is perhaps like my relationship with this city: both an observer and a participant. I explore within the space between words, inhabiting the gaps between understanding and misunderstanding. In the future, I hope to continue exploring the intersection of translation and culture, learning how to convey the soul of a work across different cultures without letting it be simplified into mere superficial words.
Whether you have just walked out of university gates or have spent some time navigating the world of work, learning is always a dark path of exploration and trial-and-error. But it is precisely in these dim corners that you can truly perceive the boundaries of language and feel the weight of words.
