真理子・サンチャンタ
Dear Xianjun, to answer your question, first name sounds like Japanese female name, and its Chinese characters can be anything like 万里子、麻里子、眞理子、真利子、満里子、麻理子、麻利子、真梨子、鞠子、真梨子、真里子、万里子、満利子, among few others. As for last name, it is quite likely non-Japanese. My guess is that she married to a non-Japanese person (may be Spanish or Italian -- some European origin).

That person seems to be a journalist or correspondent judging from what I got on the Internet. As you suspected, Mariko is a Japanese female name but it is unclear whether the person is Japanese or not, given the information provided here. As she could be a non-Japanese, it would be safer for you to spell her name in Katakana than in Kanji. Nobody knows how her name is properly spelled in Kanji.

I presume you want to translate this name into Chinese. She seems to be a Tokyo correspondent of the Financial Times. They have an online Chinese edition and this is the transcription they adopt. Hope this helps.
