Source text - English Brú na Bóinne
Brú na Bóinne - the dwelling place of the Boyne – describes an area between the towns of Slane and Drogheda where the River Boyne meanders in dramatic loops and bends. Here lies one of the world’s most important archaeological landscapes, dominated by the spectacular prehistoric passage tombs of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth.
The international significance of Brú na Bóinne was formally recognised in 1993 when it was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Built over 5000 years ago by Neolithic (New Stone Age) farmers, these passage tombs are truly remarkable remnants of a highly evolved society which by the 4th millennium BC, had settled widely across much of Western Europe. Both ritual and settlement were centred around these tombs, throughout the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, and Early Christian times, through the Norman invasions and beyond.
Looking northwards from the Visitor Centre, the core archaeological landscape of Brú na Bóinee comes into view. By studying the location, structure and history of its monuments, both the visible and unseen, the magnificence of this prehistoric landscape – and the extraordinary achievements of those who created it - can be appreciated
Translation - Spanish Brú na Bóinne
Brú na Bóinne - morada del Boyne – abarca un área entre las ciudades de Slane y Drogheda, a 50 km. al norte de Dublín, por donde el río Boyne serpentea a lo largo de impresionantes curvas y recodos. Aquí yace uno de los paisajes arqueológicos más importantes del mundo dominado por las espectaculares tumbas de corredor prehistóricas de Newgrange, Knowth y Dowth.
La importancia internacional de Brú na Bóinne fue reconocida oficialmente en 1993, cuando fue nombrado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO.
Construidas hace más de 5.000 años por granjeros del Neolítico (Edad de la Piedra Nueva), estas tumbas de corredor son remanentes verdaderamente impresionantes de una sociedad sumamente evolucionada que, para el cuarto milenio a. de C., se había asentado en una amplia zona a lo largo de la mayoría de Europa occidental. Tanto los rituales como los asentamientos se concentraron alrededor de estas tumbas durante toda la Edad de Bronce, la Edad de Hierro y las primeras épocas cristianas, durante las invasiones normandas y años después.
Mirando hacia el norte desde el Centro de Información, el principal paisaje arqueológico de Brú na Bóinne aparece ante nuestros ojos. Mediante el estudio de la ubicación, la estructura y la historia de sus monumentos, tanto los visibles como los ocultos, se puede apreciar la magnificencia de este paisaje prehistórico y los extraordinarios logros de aquellos que lo crearon.

How easy credit turned risky
Low interest rates and new financial architecture planted seeds of excess
Greg Ip and Jon E. Hilsenrath
An extraordinary credit boom that created many first-time homeowners and financed a wave of corporate take-overs seems to be waning. Home buyers with poor credit are having trouble borrowing. Institutional investors from Milwaukee to Düsseldorf to Sidney are reporting losses. Banks are stuck with corporate debt that investors won’t buy. Stocks are falling, with financial powerhouses like Bear Stearns Cos. and Blackstone Group leading the way.
The origins of the boom and this unfolding bust predate last year’s mistakes. They trace to changes in the banking system provoked by the collapse of the savings-and-loan industry in the 1980s, the reaction of governments to the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s, and the Federal Reserve’s response to the 2000-2001 bursting of the tech-stock bubble.
When the Fed cut interest rates to the lowest level in a generation to avoid a severe downturn, then Chairman Alan Greenspan anticipated that making short-term credit so cheap would have unintended consequences. “I don’t know what it is, but we’re doing some damage because this is not the way credit markets should operate”, he and a colleague recall him saying at the time.
Now the consequences of moves the Fed and others made are becoming clearer.
Translation - Spanish AUGE Y CAÍDA
De cómo el crédito fácil aumentó el riesgo.
Los bajos tipos de interés y la nueva arquitectura financiera han plantado las semillas del exceso.
Greg Ip y Jon E. Hilsenrath.
El excepcional auge crediticio que creó una nueva generación de propietarios y financió una ola de adquisiciones corporativas parece estar en declive. Los compradores de vivienda con un mal historial crediticio tienen problemas para obtener financiación. Los inversores institucionales desde Milwaukee a Sidney pasando por Düsseldorf informan de pérdidas. Los bancos se ven atrapados con deudas corporativas que los inversores no quieren comprar. Las acciones están cayendo, con gigantes financieros como la compañía Bear Stearns y el grupo Blackstone a la cabeza.
Los orígenes del auge y de esta recesión en curso son anteriores a los errores del último año. Estos errores se remontan a los cambios en el sistema bancario provocados por el desplome de la industria de ahorro y préstamo en los años 80, la reacción de los gobiernos a la crisis financiera asiática a finales de los años 90 y a la respuesta de la Reserva Federal a la explosión de la burbuja tecnológica en los años 2000 y 2001.
Cuando, para evitar una grave desaceleración, la Fed recortó los tipos de interés al nivel más bajo visto en toda una generación, el entonces presidente, Alan Greenspan, anticipó que abaratar tanto el crédito a corto plazo tendría consecuencias no deseadas. “No sé lo que es, pero estamos causando algún daño porque ésta no es la forma en la que deberían funcionar los mercados crediticios”, él y un colega recuerdan que dijo entonces.
Ahora, las consecuencias de las medidas que la Fed y otros tomaron son más evidentes.

I started translating in 2006 as a complement to my job as an English teacher.
My main language pair is English to Spanish but, occasionally, I also translate from Spanish to English, always proofread by an English native speaker. This, together with the fact that I only accept general English projects, guarantees the quality of my translations even though it is not my mother tongue.
Besides my current specialization fields, I also have a great interest in the following: Science, Literature and Gastronomy.
Why me?
Because of my enthusiasm for the job I do, managing each project as if it were my first; because of my passion and curiosity for learning about something new every day, which makes translation highly gratifying; and because of my open, sociable and easy-going personality. I offer a personalized service, each client, like each project, is unique and that's how I approach my work, taking care of its specific needs and always available to solve any doubt or query.
If you are looking for someone absolutely committed to their job, that's me!
