Source text - English WHAT IS A DEPRESSIVE DISORDER?
A depressive disorder is an illness that involves the body, mood and thoughts. It affects the way a person eats and sleeps, the way one feels about oneself, and the way one thinks about things. A depressive disorder is not the same as a passing blue mood. It is not a sign of personal weakness or a condition that can be willed or wished away. People with a depressive illness cannot merely “pull themselves together” and get better. Without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks, months, or years. Appropriate treatment, however, can help most people who suffer from depression.
TYPES OF DEPRESSION
Depressive disorders come in different forms, just as is the case with other illnesses such as heart disease. Here we describe three of the most common types of depressive disorders. However, within these types there are variations in the number of symptoms, their severity, and persistence.
Major depression is manifested by a combination of symptoms that interfere with the ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Such a disabling episode of depression may occur only once but more commonly occurs several times in a lifetime.
A less severe type of depression, dysthymia, involves long-term, chronic symptoms that do not disable, but keep one from functioning well or from feeling good. Many people with dysthymia also experience major depressive episodes at some time in their lives.
Another type of depression is bipolar disorder, also called manic-depressive illness. Not nearly as prevalent as other forms of depressive disorders, bipolar disorder is characterized by cycling mood changes: severe highs (mania) and lows (depression). Sometimes the mood switches are dramatic and rapid, but most often they are gradual. When in the depressed cycle, an individual can have any or all of the symptoms of a depressive disorder. When in the manic cycle, the individual may be overactive, over talkative, and have great deal of energy. Mania often affects thinking, judgement, and social behaviour in ways that cause serious problems and embarrassment. For example, the individual in a manic phase may feel elated, full of grand schemes that might range from unwise business decisions to romantic sprees. Mania, left untreated, may worsen to a psychotic state.
Translation - Spanish ¿Qué es un trastorno depresivo?
El trastorno depresivo es una enfermedad que afecta al organismo, al estado de ánimo y a la manera de pensar. Afecta el modo en que uno se alimenta y duerme, cómo se valora a sí mismo y cómo concibe la realidad. Un trastorno depresivo no es lo mismo que un estado de tristeza pasajero. No es un signo de debilidad personal o una condición que puede desaparecer voluntariamente. Las personas que padecen una enfermedad depresiva no pueden sobreponerse a la misma fácilmente. Sin tratamiento, los síntomas pueden prolongarse por semanas, meses o años. Sin embargo, un tratamiento apropiado puede ayudar a la mayoría de las personas que sufren de depresión.
Tipos de depresión
Al igual que otras enfermedades, como las del corazón, los trastornos depresivos pueden variar. A continuación se describen los tres tipos de trastornos depresivos más comunes. Sin embargo, existen variaciones en el número, la gravedad y la persistencia de los síntomas en cada uno de estos.
La depresión severa se origina con la combinación de síntomas que limitan la capacidad de trabajar, estudiar, dormir, comer y disfrutar de las actividades que alguna vez fueron placenteras. Dicho episodio de limitación de la capacidad de desempeño puede ocurrir sólo una vez, pero es más común que suceda varias veces en la vida.
Un tipo de depresión menos grave, la distimia, comprende síntomas crónicos de larga duración que no interfieren en la capacidad de desempeño, pero que interfieren en el funcionamiento y bienestar de la persona. Muchas personas con distimia también padecen episodios depresivos severos en algún momento de sus vidas.
Otro tipo de depresión es el trastorno bipolar, también denominado enfermedad maníacodepresiva. Éste, que no es tan frecuente como otros tipos de trastornos depresivos, se caracteriza por cambios de humor cíclicos: fases de ánimo eufórico (manía) y fases de ánimo bajo(depresión). A veces los cambios de humor son drásticos y rápidos, pero por lo general son graduales. En la fase depresiva, la persona puede tener uno o todos los síntomas del trastorno depresivo, y en la fase maníaca, puede estar hiperactiva, hablar excesivamente y tener mucha energía. La manía afecta el modo de pensar, razonar y comportarse en sociedad, lo que puede causar problemas serios y situationes violentas. Por ejemplo, el individuo en la fase maníaca puede sentirse eufórico, lleno de proyectos grandiosos que pueden variar desde discusiones imprudentes sobre negocios hasta aventuras románticas. La manía que no es tratada puede convertirse en un estado psicótico.
Spanish to English: Saber explorar profundidades para encontrar oro negro
Source text - Spanish SABER EXPLORAR PROFUNDIDADES PARA ENCONTRAR ORO NEGRO
El mundo se rige por muchos patrones y códigos, la globalización tocó la puerta hace mucho tiempo y el poder pasa entre otros aspectos por tener o no tener petróleo. La naturaleza no premia a todos por igual y allí donde se supone que existe tal riqueza es donde se va tras ella.
¿Cómo hallar petróleo, cómo ir tras él, dónde perforar?
John está especializado en una técnica llamada Sísmica de Pozo y el mercado petrolero lo demanda para que se encargue de aplicar esta técnica en los diferentes pozos que realizan en zonas claves de nuestro país. Didáctico y ameno, John explica el método utilizado con ejemplos cotidianos que nos ayudan a sumergirnos en ese mundo profundo
Translation - English KNOWING HOW TO EXPLORE DEPTHS TO FIND OIL
The world is governed by many standards and codes, globalization touched our lives a long time ago and power is determined, among other factors, by the possession of oil or the lack of it. Nature does not award everyone the same prize and where it is assumed that such wealth exits, it is there that it is sought.
How to find petroleum, how to search for it, where to drill?
John specialises in a technique called Borehole Seismic. The oil market demands that he be in charge of applying this technique in the different wells drilled in key areas of our country. John, who is didactic and pleasant, explains this method by giving everyday examples which help us dive into that deep world.

I have just graduated as an English Teacher from the same university.
For the last three years I have been working as a freelance translator and have been specialising in scientific fields, such as Medicine, Astronomy and Geophysics, and Music, which is a field I love for I have been playing the piano since I was 9. I graduated as a Superior Piano Teacher and Interpreter on 16 Dec 2004 from "Conservatorio de Música Gilardo Gilardi", Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with an average mark of 98.75/100.
It should be mentioned that I lived in London, U.K., from Dec 2004 to Dec 2005, where I worked as a Security Receptionist in Shell for my last seven months there and, on a temporary basis, as a Legal Secretary at the London Inner Family Proceedings Court, a Home Fire Safety Field Worker, and a Receptionist at a Stockbrokers' company.

My main duty is to translate the faculty's official website from Spanish into English. The new website is still at the design stage but I hope you can see it posted soon.
