Source text - Spanish Cannavaro llega a la entrevista vestido de un modo absolutamente informal. “Jeans” de marca, una camiseta de algodón, tras la que se observan los llamativos tatuajes que adornan su antebrazo derecho, con los nombres de sus hijos, Cristian, Martina y Andrea, calor en la calle y una sonrisa franca. Me llama la atención que, de cerca, no se perciba en él el carácter atemorizador de este defensa central, terror de los delanteros por poderosos y corpulentos que sean. ¿Qué es, en realidad, lo que ha hecho que este chico napolitano haya roto las reglas del juego de la elección de mejor jugador del mundo al concedérselo a un jugador marcadamente destructivo? Más aún: ¿qué es lo que mete miedo de él? Tiene una dentadura de anuncio de tv, una sonrisa tan contagiosa que da ganas de fotografiarla y ensayar con ella para doblegar al enemigo sin necesidad de recurrir a la fuerza física y unos ojos azules que invitan más a darle la mano que a pegarse con él? A pesar de eso, Fabio ha reinado en 2006 como campeón del mundo con Italia y como mejor jugador del año.
Translation - English Cannavaro arrives at the interview dressed completely informally. It’s a hot day, and he wears designer jeans, an honest smile, and a cotton shirt, through which you can make out the distinctive tattoos that cover his right forearm with the names of his children, Cristian, Martina and Andrea. Up close it is hard to imagine that this is the same imposing character and central defender who terrorizes attackers, no matter their size or power. How did this guy from Napoli break all the rules about the election of world player of the year, and see it awarded to an aggressively defensive player? More to the point, why are people afraid of him? He has the kind of teeth you see on a TV advert, a contagious smile that makes you want to have your photo taken with him to make your friends jealous, and eyes that ask you to take his hand more than fight him? Despite these characteristics, Fabio reigned as world champion with Italy in 2006 and was voted the best player of the year.

Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists & MA in Translation from University of Manchester. 10 years in the Translation Industry.
Although I trained in technical and commercial translation the majority of my work now is done for publishing clients in the fields of sports journalism, tourism materials, and manuals and brochures.
My direct clients include Palgrave Macmillan and the official Champions League magazine. I also provide Spanish and Portuguese to English translations for various translation agencies based in the UK, Spain and Portugal.
I use word fast and memoQ translation memory tools. I am extremely conscientious and understand that each translation requires a different, carefully thought out approach.
Tone, style, and fluency are extremely important to my clients, and I pride myself on producing translated texts that read like original documents written in English, while faithfully retaining all the content of the source text.
