Towards Better Simultaneous Interpretation
Keywords:
conference translation; interpretation; interpreterAbstract
This study considers the role of ‘interpretation’ and ‘interpreter’ in conferences. Two types of interpretation services, i.e. simultaneous interpretation and consecutive interpretation are considered as well. Simultaneous interpretation conveys a message into another language (TL) at virtually the same moment in time as it is expressed in the first language. The ‘interpreter’ begins speaking once he has heard a chunk or prepositional phrase in the stimulus passage in the source language (SL) and translates or interprets it simultaneously into his mother-tongue (ML) or target language lagging at most a few seconds behind the speaker.
