Just about then, the American Translators Association (ATA) held one of its conferences in California—maybe its first one west of the Mississippi—at Stanford University, a few miles away from my house. Even though many of my evenings and weekends were by now devoted to translation, I saw myself as a part-time dilettante; unsure of my position among career translators, I hesitated to attend.
大概就在那时，美国翻译人协会 (ATA) 在加州史丹佛大学召开一次会议 － 也许是该协会在密西西比河以西召开的第一次吧 － 距离我居住的地方不过几英里之遥。即使我当时已经耗费了许多夜晚和周末的时间在翻译上，但是我只将自己视为业余的翻译人，不能确定自己在全职翻译者之间的地位，因此有些迟疑是否应该前去参加会议。
a part-time dilettante 译成「业余的翻译人」，说得通吗？

陆帝谋眔届τ陆亩(干瓃jianming玡晋痙ē)
Dilettante is from the Italian verb dilettare, to delight. The dilettante paints, writes, composes, plays a musical instrument, or engages in a scientific experiments purely for amusement--not to make money, become famous, or satisfy a deep creative urge (the latter, I presume, being the justifications for the time that professional artists, writers, composers, musicians, poets, and scientists spend at their chosen work). A dilettantish attitude is superficial, unprofessional; dilettantism is superficial, part-time dabbling in the type of activity that usually engages the full time and energy of the professional artist or scientist. 篕Word Power Made Easy. 爹穨緇獶穨弧猭"產""穨緇產"硂柑ぃ甧秈ㄓ┮某ノゑ耕粂よΑㄓ陆亩はτ肚笷種^^"
