口译员的工作(1/7)

How Interpreters Work Good morning. Today I'd like to give you a brief introduction to an interpreter's work. Generally speaking, an interpreter has to fulfill three stages during his work: the understanding of the speaker's original message, the memorization of a speech and the re-expression of the same content in another language, with the help of some notes the interpreter writes down upon hearing the original message. The first stage is the understanding. The understanding we refer to here is not of words but of ideas, since an interpreter has to convey concepts. But what happens if an interpreter doesn't know one word or an expression that he or she hears in a speech? First of all we can underline that an interpreter can understand a speaker's meaning without actually understanding every single word and expression used.

口译员的工作 早上好。今天我想针对口译员的工作给你们做一个简单的介绍。一般来说,口译员必须完成三个阶段工作:了解演讲者的原始信息,识记演讲以及通过在听演讲的过程中所作的笔记将演讲的内容用另一种语言重新表述。第一阶段，理解。我们这里提到的理解不仅仅是对句子的理解还有对观点的理解,因为口译员必须向听众传达思想。但是,如果一个口译员在演讲中不明白一个词或者一种表达用法的时候会发生什么问题?首先我们要强调的是实际上口译员不用真正理解每一个单词和表达用法也能理解演讲者的意思。
