English to Chinese: TiVo and YouTube to Deliver Web Video to TV
Source text - English TiVo and YouTube to Deliver Web Video to TV by Brian Stelter
Published: March 12, 2008
Pick up the remote, turn on the television — and watch YouTube.
The user experience envisioned by technology enthusiasts came a step closer to reality on Wednesday when TiVo, the maker of popular digital video recorders, announced a partnership with YouTube that will deliver Web video directly to users’ televisions.
“TiVo’s strategy is to bridge the gap between Web video and television and make as much content available as possible for our subscribers,” said Tara Maitra, the vice president and general manager for content services at TiVo.
With the YouTube deal, TiVo becomes the latest entrant into the marketplace for porting Internet video content to television. Apple introduced a new version of Apple TV with similar features in January. Although several companies are trying to merge the online viewing experience with the living-room big screen, no one product dominates the market yet.
“Leaning forward at my computer screen, I’ve got this giant amount of content,” said Dmitry Shapiro, the founder of Veoh, one of the companies trying to merge the Internet and the television. “But as soon as I want to relax in my living room with friends, I’m stuck with what’s on my TV.”
TiVo pioneered the digital video recorders that allowed television viewers to time-shift their favorite shows. The company’s set-top boxes are increasingly acting like digital video retrievers and receivers as well.

I am a native of China and an American citizen. I lived, worked and studied in Japan for 10 years where I received my master degree in eduction on a full Japanese Government (Monbusyou)scholarship. Also I published a research article in Japanese titled "Community-based medical care system developed by residents" in The Japanese Journal of Experimental Social Psychology (1998) during my Ph.D study years at Kyoto University.
My translation and interpretation experience comes from my working for several import/export business firms interpreting and translating between Chinese, Japanese and English on price negotiation, sales, quality control of manufactured goods, and generating shipment and sales invoices. I also volunteered as a Japanese to Chinese interpreter at the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Olympic Games. In the USA, I interpreted (Japanese<->American, American<->Chinese) for a Japanese health care supplement business, and I was a seminar interpreter (American-->Japanese) at a NASA conference in Maryland.
My background and interest for translation is in business, accounting, social sciences, and children literature. I can also translate manufacturing,newspaper articles and proofread a wide range of material. My home is trilingual (American, Chinese and Japanese) and our children are learning all three languages. My american husband has a Ph.D in biology and is my source language reference point for help when I translate into Chinese or Japanese.
I will do my job with commitment, integrity and passion.
