Hi Heidrun,

the first line:
"after I had attended the naval academy in Livorno and after I had finished my studies at university in Genoa in 2003,"

would read better and perhaps be more accurate if it was simply:

"after having attended the Naval Academy in Livorno and graduating in Genoa in 2003,"

What do you think?

Both suggestions are very good. I'm going to change it, thank you.

Why to complicate so much? simply "after attending...after graduating..."
grammatically "after having attended" is correct, but nowadays they don`t use those complicated forms if they can say the same thing simplier...

Hi imogilnitskaya (Uff...what a nick!)

Yes, it's not only nowadays that people simplify their speech when talking colloquially. It has been that way for a long time. However this text seems to be quite formal. That's why we tried to keep it into the same shape of the original, that is: using compound tenses.

Thanks for your input.

As far as I know "graduating" is US English, may be it is better "taking a degree"?

No, my dictionary states explicitly that "graduating" (meaning finishing university) is British English.

Kaf, maybe "oil-hydraulic system"? I'm not that good at technical vocabulary, but Italo07 told me that it was "Ölhydrauliksystem" in German.

Ok, because in my dictionary it is like US English.

"graduate" is used in both British English and North American English, but it is used differently. In British English, it is used as a transitive verb - a university graduates a student, so a student "is graduated", whereas in North American English it is intransitive, so a student "graduates". So in this case I believe it should be "after being graduated", but I'll check with Tantine (our British native speaker).

And, yes, iamfromaustria, I think "oil-hydraulic system" or just plain "oil hydraulic system" is correct. I would remove the hyphen from "platform system" too.

I've removed the hyphens.
Now, let's wait for Tantine's input about the British use of "graduate".

Wow, 3 English experts who need to work on my translation... I hope it wasn't that bad.

Sorry to bother you again, Lily, but shouldn't it be "the person in charge of"?

Both can be used, but in this case I'd rather use:
"the person in charge for (getting) the efficiency of the platform system..."

Hi All

I checked up in my Chamber's, and "graduate" can also be used as an intransitive verb in British English too . In fact it can be used as either, one can be graduated by a university, or one can graduate from a university so you have the choice
