Simultaneous interpretation

Consecutive interpreting-An interpreter sits in a conference room while listening to the source language and taking notes. When the speaker finishes speaking or stops to wait for the interpreter, the interpreter uses the clear and natural target language to accurately and completely re-express all the information content of the source speech, just as if he were speaking. Consecutive interpretation in conference interpretation requires interpreters to be able to listen to continuous speeches for up to five to ten minutes, and use good speaking skills to complete and accurate translation of all its content.

Is alternate interpretation easier than simultaneous interpretation?

Regardless of simultaneous interpretation or simultaneous interpretation, the goal is to enable people who speak different languages to achieve clear and accessible instant communication. Alternate interpretation and simultaneous interpretation at the conference interpretation level are not the same. The two interpretation modes complement each other, and their functions and quality requirements are exactly the same. A competent conference interpreter should have two modes of interpretation skills.

As far as the use of two interpretation modes is concerned, alternate interpretation is mostly used in small-scale situations involving only two working languages, such as diplomatic meetings, bilateral negotiations, visits, small-scale consultations, reporter interviews, judicial and quasi-judicial procedures , Banquet speeches, press conferences, short seminars, etc. Simultaneous interpretation, because it has the advantage of not occupying meeting time, has developed into the most commonly used mode of conference interpretation, and is widely used in various international occasions. Almost all formal international multilingual conferences and international organizations (such as the United Nations and the European Union) have adopted interpretation as the standard interpretation mode.
