Sign language is the main way for deaf people to communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to hearing people can be hard. Luckily, sign language translators are there to help.
Hao Shuxin, 25, sees sign language as her first language. “I picked up sign language before I could even talk, as my parents are deaf.” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language translator at a law firm (律所) in Chongqing. Her work needs her to translate for deaf people.
Hao sometimes feels stressed at work because accuracy (准确性) is important in translation for law firms. So she always explains things earnestly. Her stress also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects (方言)”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures depending on where a deaf person is from. There are also differences in grammar between Chinese and sign language.
Having traveled to over 30 cities in China because of the job, she has learned about the special ways deaf people across the country use sign language.

①What do you want to be when you grow up A study shows that more than 80% of children choose jobs they often see around them, like doctors and teachers—with teachers topping the list of kids’ dream jobs. But jobs such as cartoonists appear in less than 7% of their answers. We often overlook (忽视) jobs hidden outside our daily lives.
②Choosing a career is crucial because it will be a big part of your life. If you don’t enjoy your job, your life won’t be as happy as you wish it to be. Try looking into different possibilities! Your dream job might be something you’ve never heard of before.
③How can you start First, think about your interests and strengths(优势). This will help shape (塑造) your future job. If numbers excite you, maybe you can be a scientist. If storytelling comes naturally, then writing or film-making could be your choice. And remember to talk to your parents, teachers and friends. They can share ideas about different jobs.
④Also, think about future trends (趋势). Many jobs today, like web developers, weren’t around 50 years ago. New jobs like AI ethics advisors (伦理顾问) might appear when you grow up. As a result, besides learning subjects, you should also try to improve your creativity and critical (批判的) thinking.
⑤You don’t have to wait to plan. Join clubs, read books or watch videos about different jobs. Remember: big dreams start with small actions. Whether you want to change the world or find happiness, planning today will help you achieve your dreams tomorrow.
( )1．Why do children often choose teachers and doctors as their dream jobs
A．Because these jobs need the least training.
