Dutch to English: Violence at schools in the US
General field: Social Sciences
Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - Dutch
In de Verenigde Staten zijn de scholen weer begonnen. Voor honderdduizenden leerlingen betekent dat niet alleen nieuwe kleren, nieuwe klassen, nieuwe vrienden, maar ook een nieuwe confrontatie met de gewelddadige realiteit van wat wel de Blackboard Jungle wordt genoemd.

Honderden scholen hebben de vakantie gebruikt om metaaldetectors en bewakingscamera's te laten installeren. In de vijftig grootste schooldistricten van het land hebben scholen nu apparatuur aangeschaft voor het opsporen van wapens, variërend van aardappelschilmesjes tot automatische machinegeweren. Miljoenen dollars zijn uitgegeven aan bewakingsapparatuur in plaats van aan boeken of computers. In sommige steden hebben de directeuren van scholen de kastjes van leerlingen laten verwijderen om te voorkomen dat die worden gebruikt als opslagplaats voor wapens en drugs.

Andere scholen hebben afspraken gemaakt met de politie of beveiligingsdiensten om onverwachte zoekacties naar wapens uit te voeren. In vrijwel iedere school in de VS lopen tijdens de les veiligheidsbeambten door de gangen

Schools have started again in the United States. For hundred thousands of students that means new clothes, new classes, and new friends, but it also means a new confrontation with the violent reality sometimes called the Blackboard Jungle.

Hundreds of schools used the holidays to install metal detectors and surveillance cameras. At schools in fifty of the largest school districts in the country, equipment has been bought to search for weapons, varying from potato peelers to automatic machine guns. Millions of dollars were spent on surveillance cameras instead of books and computers. In some cities, school directors removed student lockers to prevent them from being used as storage places for weapons and drugs.

Other schools made agreements with the police or security services to perform unexpected searches for weapons. During classes, in nearly every school in the US security guards walk the corridors.

Elementos destacados del Desarrollo Sostenible.

- El Desarrollo Sostenible es un concepto macroeconómico pues es la consecuencia de las acciones que ejecuten los distintos actores en una sociedad (empresas, sector publico, personas, grupos activistas, etc).

- Las acciones que una empresa ejecuta para lograr el Desarrollo Sostenible se dirigen a los grupos definidos en su cadena de valor: colaboradores, contratistas o proveedores, medio ambiente, clientes, comunidades, accionistas, gobierno local.

- Dependiendo de los impactos que genere la empresa a la sociedad, así debe enfocar sus acciones en Sostenibilidad.

“Para (...), la forma de hacer negocios es buscando que se establezca un balance entre la rentabilidad económica, el respeto por nuestros colaboradores, las comunidades aledañas y por el medioambiente”
Translation - Dutch
Kenmerken van duurzame ontwikkeling.

- Duurzame ontwikkeling is een macro-economisch concept, het is het gevolg van de handelingen van verschillende actoren binnen de samenleving (bedrijven, publieke sector, personen, activisten, enz.).

- Handelingen gericht op duurzame ontwikkeling hebben betrekking op specifieke groepen in de waardeketen van het bedrijf: partners, aannemers en leveranciers, het milieu, klanten, gemeenschappen, aandeelhouders en de lokale overheid.

- Aan de hand van de impact die het bedrijf heeft op de samenleving, moet het zijn duurzaamheidsacties bepalen.

“Voor (...) is zaken doen het zoeken naar een balans tussen rendement en respect voor onze partners, de betrokken gemeenschappen en het milieu”

Bio

I am an experienced translator located in the Canary Islands. I started off as a bilingual web search evaluator in 2013, while living in South America and learning Spanish and some Portuguese. Then it progressed into translation work, and in 2014 I started to focus only on translation work and translation related projects. Since then I have become experienced in subtitling, transcription, post-editing and translation. Apart from this, I am also available for research related jobs and I occasionally manage multilingual translation projects for local clients. I have a great interest in literature and cultures. And in the coming years I hope to specialise in the fields of legal translation and sustainability related translation.
