How does simultaneous interpretation work?

Abstract: Translation itself is very professional, which requires the translator to have a particularly high quality. At present, there are few talents in this field in the market, but with the increasingly fierce market competition, more and more people will choose to be translators when they are employed. At present, there are many types of translation work. What are the simultaneous translations? How does simultaneous interpretation work? Let's take a look with Bian Xiao. What is simultaneous translation?

1. Conventional simultaneous interpretation (unscripted simultaneous interpretation): The interpreter does not have speeches or slides and other related materials when translating, but only listens to the live speech and prepares for simultaneous interpretation in combination with his own translation. This poses a great challenge to the interpreter's personal ability;

2. Visual translation: the interpreter obtains the speech or slide presentation file in advance and completes the translation while listening to the speech;

3. Simultaneous interpretation in a low voice: the interpreter is not sitting in the booth, but sitting next to the delegates, listening to the speech and quietly translating it to the delegates around him;

4. Relay simultaneous interpretation: Simultaneous interpretation is widely used in international conferences using three or more languages.

How to be a translator

Compared with language, everyone's language level is different, but the common fault of many people is that writing and reading are ok, but oral English is not. Every situation has a different method. For example, some people can read newspapers effectively, while others can't. The first thing is to know yourself and analyze what you can do to deal with it, which can significantly improve your level. Some people can listen to news, some people can watch movies, and some people need to listen to tapes. Everyone's methods are different, but as long as they are effective, they can improve themselves and practice again. Only in this way can they get close to the interpreters.

The key to oral English learning is to imitate pronunciation, including intonation and pronunciation. China Yi Jiao doesn't pay much attention to intonation, but as a professional translator, your translation needs very standard grammar. Only in this way can customers feel the standard of service and professional wording. In this case, you can insist on practicing post-reading training. Be sure to understand the meaning of each word and try to imitate the pronunciation and intonation. The more you like it, the better.

You can start practicing slowly, but gradually keep up with the speed. Pay attention to synchronous reading, synchronous following the recording, strive for complete coincidence of your pronunciation, pay attention to pronunciation, and insist on listening and reading, so as to make continuous progress. After listening, reading, writing and translating, master the skills skillfully. Then there is attention. Translation should not only be highly concentrated, but also follow the language, which is a difficult scope.

At first, you can follow the recording and set yourself a goal. Why don't I just make one mistake in this recording? The translation of this recording must keep up, from one hundred words to two hundred words, and remind myself to keep up with the translation when I am tired or want to relax. You can also simulate the situation, imagine the scene as a very important meeting, or a press conference with a large number of people and a large amount of translation, and constantly urge yourself to keep working hard in tension until you can reach and concentrate. When you don't have a goal and don't want to practice, you can choose a good example, spur yourself with the power of example, learn from diplomatic translators, enrich yourself and achieve the goal of promotion.

All translators must master the standards of interpretation. When interpreting for clients, they should always be in a highly concentrated state, and they should not tolerate their own number of mistakes. They should enrich themselves in constant practical work, start from translation, make continuous progress and accumulate experience.
