About
我們是誰
歡迎來到Story Meets Story! Story Meets Story是一個專注於翻譯兒童故事的部落格，本網站的中文故事為大同大學應用外語系學生在繪本編譯課程中的翻譯作品。這些精采的故事原著來自一群在愛爾蘭都柏林兒童藝文中心 Fighting Words 裡的小朋友們所創作。我們希望可以透過文字 、圖像和聲音刺激文學與藝術上的跨文化交流，並且在此邀請更多喜歡故事的你一起細細欣賞兒童的創造力與想像力。
我們在做什麼
受到孩子的創意啟發，在課堂中大學生們除了翻譯故事、續寫故事，還會利用不同媒材重新翻玩故事主角的視覺造型，激盪出愈絢爛的創意火花。兒童故事的音樂性也是其珍貴的一大特色，因此網站將按課程進度持續更新中文故事音檔，讓觀眾能與我們一同享受好讀、好玩、好聽的故事!

Who We Are
Hello! Welcome to Story Meets Story! Story Meets Story is a blog concentrated on translating tales written by child authors. Here we showcase the Chinese narratives translated by the undergrads in the Picturebook Translation and Editing course offered by the Applied Foreign Languages Department (AFL) Tatung University (TTU). These magical stories are originally woven in English by the pupils at Fighting Words Ireland. To stimulate cross-cultural collaboration on literature and art through text/images/sound, we invite you to immerse yourselves deeply within a child's mind to explore their creativity and imagination with us through our website!
What We do
Inspired by children's creative work during translation, the undergrads take it one step further to write sequels and design a new portrait for the main character in each story. We will also create and upload the audio tales in Chinese to preserve and celebrate the art of storytelling on our blog. So stay tuned and enjoy our stories in a multi-sensory way!
About Picturebook Translation and Editing

The goals of this course are to help students deepen their familiarity with a range of picturebooks, explore in children's literature and culture, equip with strategies and skills in translating iconotext, and develop creative thinking practices.
