Bonus Translation Exercise 3
A unique experiment to try to communicate with life in outer space and give a picture of life on earth is to take place from a pyramid in Mexico. Thousands of people around the world have already sent in their images, videos and sounds to the project. Duncan Kennedy reports from Mexico City:
Contacting outer space has been an obsession for humans for thousands of years. Well now, this new project aims to make an attempt on behalf of the digital generation. Organised by the internet search engine Yahoo, material has started to be collected from around the planet.

為了試著和外星人交流，並分享地球人的生活寫照，人類在墨西哥尖塔舉行了一場獨特的實驗。全世界數千人已經將他們的肖像、影片以及聲音寄送到企劃部。鄧肯•甘迺迪在墨西哥城報告：「長久以來和外星人接觸就一直是人類所著迷的事情。那麼，這項新計劃目標著重於嘗試在現今數位時代能有所進步。已經開始蓃集到附近行星的資料，是由雅虎搜尋引擎編輯而成的。」

To Lydia:
原文
人類對於能夠和外太空取得連繫已瘋狂了數千年。現在，這項新計劃的目標就是讓這個嘗試能夠代表D世代。雅虎網路搜尋引擎機構，現在己於全球各地開始收集材料。
My comments:
1. "obssessed" should not be translated into 瘋狂. Please refer to the context and find a better one.
2. "這項新計劃的目標就是讓這個嘗試能夠代表D世代" is a wrong translaiton.
The purpose of the experiment should not have been "representing the e generation."
3. "Yahoo organized the experiment" means "Yahoo sponsors and is responsible for the experiment.
To Jammie:
1. I don't think "在墨西哥尖塔" is a correct translation either in semantic method or in communicative one.
2. "肖像" is not a correct translaiton. Please refer to the context for a better one.
3. "這項新計劃目標著重於嘗試在現今數位時代能有所進步" is a wrong translaiton. Please refer to my reference translation.
4. "蓃集到附近行星的資料，是由雅虎搜尋引擎編輯而成的" is wrong.
雅虎係該計畫的主辦單位，目前已開始蒐集全球各地的人類生活照片等，........
5. Please enhance your reading ability in order to be a good translator.
To Meg:
1. "這項實驗的目標將成為這個數位時代的代表。
雅虎組織的網路收尋引擎,已開始收集各地的材料" is not a correct translation. Please refer to my reference translation below for a correct one.
