感觉不必为一时打不开市场而降低价码。总会有些识货的吧。各位前辈都花了多长时间才找到价格合理又能长期合作的客户的？


我刚来 proz 时，一个月做不到 200 美元。反正台湾和中国的翻译业者不可能给我合理的价格。台湾某些业者认为我贵得离谱。中国曾有一个单人业者大概是想试试我的功力，看看能否找到可以给我下马威的错误，说要给我 0.08 的价格翻译一份文件，但得先译一段近两百字的试译稿。呵呵，果然给他找到一处可以教训我的地方，然后他说紧急要我在一天内翻译好两千字；我的回答是：Suit yourself.

第一个给我合理价格的客户是乐音介绍来的客户，以 0.12 的价格从中文翻译成英文；那是一份法律诉讼文件，我和一位在加州的同仁合作，我译他审校，50:50，客户满意，陆续给我项目，从此信心大增，市场也渐渐打开。从一个月不到 200 美元，到一个月 2000 美元以上的收入，前后时间不超过一年。

我能，也相信别人能。另外要特别指出，这里有许多像乐音这样愿意帮助新进者进入市场的同仁，他们平常都不说什么，但看到可造就的人才必定在适当的机会给予协助。

Many translation companies also see this as a great opportunity for their business.
