Comment on the Translation about Belt and Road

Hey guys. Now I'm doing a non-business translation project for a Chinese documentary, which is about Chinese young people who work in the countries along the Belt and Road. I think this video material is easy to translate, but my tutor says it's about international publicity, about improving China's image, so I come here for some advice. In your opinion, how is my translation? You can comment on everything: the use of words, style, audience's response... Any comment is welcomed.

Part I: When talking about Turkey, you may be like me, things that first come to the mind is hot air balloon, Pamukkale, and Turkish ice cream. After coming here, I just realized that these things are far away from me. What I deal with the most every day are only metro and train. My name is Liu Haiyang. I’m 27 years old. Now I am in Ankara to produce metro trains for the city. Bro. Go up and have a check. Yes. Be careful, bro. The end of June is the busiest time for Liu Haiyang. We have to measure the balance height of the train. If every thing is ok, the train can be sent to the metro company. Assembled carriage will be transported to the metro company in batches to accept the proprietor's quality inspection. Turn on the light. Turn on the air conditioning system. When you touch it with your hand, can you feel the sunken point? Things are not going well. In three carriages of the first train, more than 30 problems were suddenly picked out. The standard for Turkish proprietors is very strict. Including visual inspection, for every line, every plug, and every screw, they will go through from the first carriage to the second one, to inspect over and over again. If they are not so sure about the results, they may do cross-check. Their requirements are very strict. Let's go and check the train together. The train is right there. This is a defect that occurs during casting in the production process. It can't be scratched by pens. If they make any claim, well change the part. We must change it. Three carriages that has been delivered must now be taken back to the workshop to be rectified together according to the issue list. Today we are going to have a meeting with the theme of quality improvement. Why do we have this meeting? First of all, the statistics of June has been finished. The number of opening item for each carriage has reached 35. 35. This number is a bit exaggerated, because it’s impossible for us to have so many opening items. Opening item is an engineering term that refers to item that need to be rectified. Back to the manufacturing base, the first thing Liu Haiyang does, is to summon the key technicist of the workshop to do an emergency rework of the carriages. Let him rework on this side of this carriage. Arrange someone to rework. Just two parts. Arrange someone to rework. If there are still problems in this case. Find me. Let me solve the problem. The whole rework will take 2 to 3 days. And we need ten to twenty people. This greatly affects our production efficiency. Liu Haiyang is in charge of assembly workshop that is responsible for the final assembly of the train. This year's task is to lead Chinese colleagues and Turkish employees to complete the assembly of trains. However, the first half of the year has passed, they only delivered trains. Now, they need to reworked on the other carriage. They became extremely lack of employees. To complete this year's production tasks on schedule, they have to employ new workers quickly. First of all, welcome to you all to come here for an interview. Please make a brief self introduction. I am 29 years old. My name is Kuca. My name is Kapra. Come here. Have a test. Connect one end of this wire to the XT terminal block and connect another end to wire 3. Have a try. The task that Liu Haiyang assigns is the most basic operation in train assembly, wiring. But this young man has no idea with the wire in his hand. He doesn’t know what to do. He took the diagonal pliers first. This is what we use for cutting. He wanted to peel the wire, but only to find that it was difficult. Then he took this pliers casually. He didn’t adjust the length. This belongs to the new employee who can do nothing at all. Before the arrival of China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC), Turkey has no production workshop for metro trains and schools for relevant talents. Young people coming to apply for the job are mostly freshmen without any experience. What does not match with this situation is that in 2007, the economic growth rate in Turkey has reached as high as 74%. Among the countries with fast growing rate in the world, Turkey ranks the third. The demand for metro construction across the country is very urgent. The capital Ankara now has only 4 metro lines. The trains in operation were all imported more than 30 years ago. They are severely ageing. This year is the last year for the service of these old trains. All trains must be replaced before the end of the year. He took this ferrule and tried here for a long time.
