Task 2 1 To avoid confusion, we should use phrases like “ he said”, “she said” ,“tell him”, “tell her” instead of speaking directly to the audience when we are doing interpreting tasks. 2 An interpreter should keep the words he or she said as exactly as the speaker said. He or she should not add, leave out, summarize or change anything to what the speaker said. 3 An interpreter needs to further explain the question to his or her client if they don't understand it. An interpreter should never give his or her opinion on what is being said or discussed. 4 （ ） （ ） （ ） （ ） Exercises 1. Watch a video named “A Day in the life of an Interpreter”.

You have to show them that you are a professional interpreter. Today is Friday, and our conference is tomorrow. I'll be translating some documents for this conference. I was in charge of translating the agenda and the bios of different speakers, so that's really useful because it gives you a lot of background information and you start getting familiar with the vocabulary you are gonna be using. It's difficult to make people understand that we need to be working in pairs, that we need to be two. We have consecutive interpretation and simultaneous interpretation. Simultaneous interpretation usually requires equipment. Interpreting is very tiring, because in your 30-mins interpreting, you are putting a hundred percent concentration. You don't even have seconds to relax or think about other stuff. You have to listen to the speaker, assimilate what the speaker is saying, process it, transfer it into another language, say it, and monitor what you are saying, to make sure that grammar is correct and meaning is there a hundred percent. The better you are, the more invisible you are. I love interpreting, I think it's fun. Every day, you get a different topic, and you work for different people, and you are in group with different people. I like interpreting better just because it's more fun, more dynamic. Keys 2.
