You probably hear this all the time, but it really does pay to have a specialism. Specializing in a certain industry or sector will help you develop knowledge and become a subject matter expert in your field. It will also help you stand out from the crowd, as your specialist knowledge will give you an advantage over another translator who does not know that particular industry as well as you.

可能你觉得这些都是老生常谈了，但有一门专长确实很值得。在某些行业领域具有专长能够帮你拓展知识面，成为该领域的学科专家，还能使你从人群中脱颖而出，因为你拥有的专业知识会使你比对这个行业不甚了解的译员更有优势。

Knowledge is everything and as a translator, you should always want to learn or improve your professional and business skills. However, with regular deadlines from clients – as well as all the other tasks that go with running your own freelance translation business – we know it can be tough for you to make time for your own professional development.

对于译员来说，知识就是一切。你应该时刻渴望学习，或提升专业和业务技能。但是，由于客户经常要求交稿日期，还有作为自由译员的各种其他业务，我们知道抽出时间进行职业发展是很难的一件事情。
