English to Arabic: American society General field: Social Sciences
Source text - English American society referred to as a “melting pot” has transformed its society into a multicultural mosaic. Culture, although entails too much meanings in itself, is a way of life. Yet culture is not biologically inherited but rather the outcome of people’s creativity which is based on ideas, values and common sharing. Because each portion of every country has its own traditions and values, every culture has distinct characteristics that make it different from one another. Likewise, when one is in a different community, he cannot expect to be at home unless he learns and adopts their own social customs. Hotel is the best place to find the particular places’ culture and history. Each hotel in different regions has distinctive architecture and interiors that incorporates its region’s culture. By combining conventional hotel services with elements from cultural heritage, hotels provide guests with the opportunity to appreciate the history, lifestyle and arts of the local people. Then it would be interesting to pinpoint the culture within the hotel community and how they build their “own” culture. It is interesting to see how every community builds its own “culture” just as building a house. And although culture is a creation each member built by putting all the pieces together, culture in turn shapes individuals and provides them a sense of house where they can rest. . More importantly, globalization has motivated International hotels to meet the needs of customers from different cultures and the ability of management to understand their customers is a crucial part within the hospitality industry.	Translation - Arabic إن المجتمع الأمريكي، والذي يشار إليه بأنه "بوتقة إنصهار"، قد حول مجتمعه إلى فسيفساء متعددة الثقافات . فالثقافة، وعلى الرغم مما تنطوي عليه في حد ذاتها على الكثير من المعاني، هي وسيلة للحياة. ولكن الثقافة ليست موروثاً بيولوجياً، بل هي نتيجة لإبداع الشعب، يقوم على الأفكار والقيم والمشاركة العامة. بما أن كل جزء من كل بلد له تقاليده وقيمه ، فلكل ثقافة خصائصها المميزة، تجعلها تختلف عن بعضها البعض. وبالمثل، فإن الشخص عندما يكون في مجتمع مختلف، فإنه لا يمكنه أن يتوقع أن يتواجد في موطنه الطبيعي، إلا بعد أن يتعلم ويتبنى العادات الاجتماعية الخاصة بذلك المجتمع. الفندق هو أفضل مكان للعثور على ثقافة أماكن معينة وتاريخها. فكل فندق يقع في منطقة مختلفة، له عمارة وتصميم داخلي مميزان، يجسدان ثقافة المنطقة الخاصة به. من خلال الجمع بين الخدمات الفندقية التقليدية مع عناصر من التراث الثقافي ، فإن الفنادق توفر للضيوف فرصة لتقدير قيمة تاريخ وأسلوب الحياة والفنون للسكان المحليين. ومن ثم سيكون من المثير للاهتمام تحديد الثقافة داخل مجتمع الفندق، وكيف ينشئون ثقافتهم "الخاصة". ومن المثير للاهتمام أيضاً ان نرى كيف يبني كل مجتمع في حد ذاته "ثقافته" الخاصة، مثله في ذلك مثل بناء منزل. وعلى الرغم من أن الثقافة هي خلق بناه كل عضو من خلال وضع كل القطع معا، فالثقافة بدورها تشكل الأفراد، وتوفر لهم شعورا بالموطن، حيث يمكنهم أن يرتاحوا. الأهم من ذلك، أن العولمة كانت هي الدافع وراء تلبية الفنادق العالمية لاحتياجات العملاء من مختلف الثقافات، وأن قدرة الإدارة على فهم عملائها، هي جزءٌ حاسم ٌ من خدمات الضيافة.
Arabic to English: The political field General field: Social Sciences
Source text - Arabic يحتل المجال السياسي مكانة رئيسية في بلورة عملية التفاعل والتعايش بين الدول والمجتمعات وإدارة أنماط العلاقات بينها في حالة السلم والحرب على حدٍ سواء. وإدراكاً للدور المحوري الذي يقوم به القطاع السياسي في تعزيز العلاقات السياسية بين الدول العربية من ناحية، وبينها وبين الدول والمنظمات والتجمعات الإقليمية المختلفة من ناحيةٍ أخرى، فقد تم تشكيل القطاع السياسي بشكلٍ يستجيب لمقتضيات الجغرافيا السياسية في العالم، وبشكلٍ يُعزز من قدرة القطاع على تحقيق المهام والأهداف المناطة به، حيث تم تقسيمه إلى ثمان إدارات ذات مهام واختصاصات محددة.	Translation - English The political field occupies a key position in crystallizing the process of interaction and coexistence between countries and communities, and managing the patterns of relationships between them in case of war and peace alike. Due to the recognition of the pivotal role played by the political sector in the promotion of political relations between the Arab countries, on one hand, and between them and other countries and different regional organizations and groupings, on the other hand, the political sector has been formulated in such a way to respond to the requirements of the political geography of the world, and in a form to enhance the sector's ability to achieve tasks and objectives assigned to it, where it was divided into eight administrations with specific tasks and functions.
