Source text - Polish Włochy kojarzą się na świecie z wieloma rzeczami. Przede wszystkim rzecz jasna ze znakomitym jedzeniem - pizzą, pastą, świetnymi wędlinami i serami. Słyną także z niezwykłych zabytków, ciekawej historii, przepięknych krajobrazów. Niemniej jest jeszcze jeden obszar, może nie zawsze wymieniany na pierwszych miejscach skojarzeń, niemniej dla pewnej grupy niezwykle ważny - sportowe samochody. A wśród nich zacięta rywalizacja pomiędzy czarnym koniem a czarnym bykiem, czyli pomiędzy Ferrari i Lamborghini. Co ciekawe, nie doszło by do niej, gdyby nie jedna z podstawowych reguł wpływu społecznego, czyli reguła niedostępności.
Translation - English Italy is well-known, worldwide, for many things. First and foremost, obviously, for delicious food: pizza, pasta, excellent cold meats and cheese. It is also famous for unique monuments, interesting history and spectacular sights. Nonetheless, there is one more area, perhaps it is not always mentioned among the things most commonly associated with Italy, however, it is very important for a certain group of people, namely sports cars. There is a fierce rivalry between the black horse and the black bull, i.e. between Ferrari and Lamborghini. Interestingly enough, we would not witness it if it was not for one of the most
basic principles of social influence – the scarcity rule.

Experience
Years of experience: 19. Registered at ProZ.com: Nov 2014.
I am a sworn translator of English and interpreter
(TP/72/18). I provide English to Polish and Polish to English translation and
interpreting services. I have acquired my linguistic competence both home,
throughout my studies at the Institute of English Studies of University of
Łódź, and abroad as I have graduated from Hall High School in Little Rock,
Arkansas. As far as my professional experience is concerned, I have gained it
throughout over ten years of work as an in-house translator/interpreter in a
leading translation agency in Opole, where my job consisted in translating and
interpreting in a wide spectrum of fields. In my job not only did I confront my
linguistic competence with the challenges related to translation/interpreting
but, what is equally important, I also developed and improved auxiliary
translator's skills, such as touch typing, translation software literacy
(including CAT tools) or the ability to work with tight deadlines. In 2015, I
decided to become a freelance and since then I have worked solo, providing
translation/interpreting services for major translation agencies, companies as
well as individual customers.
