Source text - Chinese 在当代女孩们的心目中，对待潮流已经不再是人云亦云的跟随，也不再是单一枯燥的刻板印象：运动风的随性酷感可以和柔美同框；糖果色内蕴藏的女性温柔背后，是坚韧积极的丰富内心；象征着未来希冀的金属装饰暗合改变世界的宣言——这些在2019春夏女装中出现的今季流行要素，都在与时尚趋势同步的DOUBLOVE「春日浮市绘」中一一触及。更有融入表达女性情绪和力量的绮粉色后，所产生的甜美并特立独行奇妙效果。为那些穿梭在多元文化和传统经典之间，不断发现摩登新可能的年轻女性提供心仪的外在延伸。不仅展现她们开放的心灵、对梦想的追求、以及改变世界的动力，还持续塑造她们的温柔态度和坚定姿态。
Translation - English For today’s girls, fashion trend is neither going with the tide nor any certain stereotype: casual and cool sporty style can go with softness; the feminine tenderness in candy colors is backed by an enriched inner world full of strength and positivity; the metal accessories symbolic of hope coincide with the declaration of changing the world – these fashion elements that will appear in the 2019/SS Collection are all touched on in DOUBLOVE’s Spring Day Ukiyo-e which reflects current trends. In addition, the pink color incorporates feminine emotion and power and creates a curious combination of sweetness and uniqueness, providing the preferred external expression for the young women who wander between diversified cultures and traditional classics, constantly searching for new modern possibilities. These elements not only show urban women’s open mind, their pursuit of dreams, and their motivation to change the world, but also continue to shape their gentle attitude and firm stance.

English to Chinese: Anti-money laundering & compliance investigation report General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Finance (general)
Source text - English Financial institutions must review the AML and sanctions engagements of their boards of directors to learn whether those engagements simply adhere solely to the letter of the law or whether a true culture of compliance is in place. This should not be a new topic for experienced board members, given the number of litigation matters seen during the past decade that outline the basic duties of members of the board. Board members should similarly be vigilant and actively question senior management as part of their fiduciary duty to ensure that AML and sanctions compliance processes have been sufficiently designed and are being correctly implemented to prevent regulatory action, negative publicity, and potential shareholder losses.
[...]
Financial institutions have sought—and continue—to reduce perceived risk by eliminating portfolios, counterparties, or entire lines of business. However, such moves could hamper their ability to achieve strategic business objectives and their ability to deal with compliance. Plus, those elimination decisions might be excessively broad because they may not consider the biggest risks to the bank, which include high-risk customers, politically exposed persons, and regions where AML and sanctions regulatory regimes or oversight are not as stringent as in others. For example, simply eliminating all correspondent relationships that a bank has in one particular geographic area might actually increase the level of AML and sanctions risk because exited customers and business partners may seek out new relationships. In the case of correspondent banking, the elimination of correspondent relationships can create so-called nested3 relationships, which in turn make it harder to detect suspicious activity and comply with regulatory mandates.
Translation - Chinese 金融机构必须审查其董事会的在反洗钱和制裁合规方面的参与程度，弄清楚董事会的参与到底是简单地遵守法律条文，还是真正地建立合规文化。这对于有经验的董事会成员来说应该不是什么新话题了，因为过去十年大量的诉讼案件已经为董事会成员指明了一些基本责任和义务。作为其信托责任的一部分，董事会成员同样应当谨慎，并且积极质疑高管们的做法，以确保反洗钱和制裁合规计划设计得充分合理，且得到正确的执行，从而预防监管行动、负面曝光和潜在的股东损失。
[...]
金融机构一直以来寻求、且继续在通过消除被认为有风险的产品组合、交易对方或整条业务线来降低风险。然而，此类举措会束缚他们成就战略性业务目标的能力，限制他们学会处理合规问题的能力。并且，这类消除性决策可能过于广泛，因为他们或许未考虑到银行面临的一些最大风险，包括高风险客户、政治敏感人物、以及反洗钱和制裁监管或审查制度不那么严格的地区。例如，简单粗暴地消除一个银行在某一特定地区所有的代理关系，事实上可能会提高反洗钱和制裁风险水平，因为情绪激动的客户和业务伙伴可能会寻求新的关系。在代理银行的情况中，去除代理关系会产生所谓的嵌套关系 ，反而使其更难发现可疑活动，更难遵循监管规则。
English to Chinese: Real estate project brochure General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Real Estate
Source text - English The 11-storey building is located along the Orchard corridor, in the Civic and Cultural District of Bras Basah. The location has recently attracted the corporate sector. The objective is to reposition the asset into a unique office space complimented by a wide range of lifestyle amenities.
The property upgrade will include creating a better sense of arrival and activating the retail space more effectively. High-quality tenants and co-working operators will be targeted in order to create a greater vibrancy for the asset.
Strategically located within the city fringe near the Orchard corridor, in the Bras Basah precinct, the property is located at the intersection of Singapore’s shopping and cultural districts which in recent years have become more established as a corporate location. The joint venture aims to reposition the asset into a unique lifestyle-focussed workplace that amplifies the energy of the neighbourhood and unlocks inherent value through rental growth.
With the advent of the on-going co-working wave and the rise of millennial expectations for F&B and retail, we aim to deliver a new and unique office concept that leverages on the vibrancy of the neighbourhood to appeal to both new-generation businesses and traditional corporate tenants. Through a thoughtful design-driven and hands-on asset management approach, it will allow us to raise the premium on rental income as well as asset value.
