“DrewTranslate” is a bilingual podcast that shares articles and stories in both English and Mandarin. As a radio DJ, I often have to share interesting articles and stories on air. Sometimes, I find good content in English and since my radio show is in Mandarin, I have to translate them into Chinese. In this podcast, I would like to share the content in both languages, including my translation. Hopefully I can do a better job than Google Translate.

The Gap 给初学者的话
Episode 8
Thursday, 31 December, 2020
Text: The Gap by Ira Glass Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through. 中英双语播客 “Drew哥Translate” is a bilingual podcast that shares articles and stories in both English and Mandarin.
