Simultaneous Interpretation
“By now you must be wondering what simultaneous is. Picture yourself
in a 2’x4’ booth, a pair of headphones on, and without prior notice, a
voice comes through. Immediately you have to simultaneously render
what is said into another language. Sounds impossible, doesn’t it? As a
matter of fact, the first time you try it, your natural impulse may be to
tear off the headsets and walk out. However, in no time at all, the
process somehow becomes automatic, you pick up momentum, and
your interpretation takes on a smoother quality. Believe it or not, it is
fascinating, and, also very rewarding.”
Simultaneous interpretation involves the immediate, simultaneous
interpretation of what is being said. The training for developing this skill
includes all of the aforementioned strategies, and specifically calls upon
the ability to paraphrase. If a specific word is not known, another must
instantly be supplied. Hence, training includes:
1. A study of synonyms,
2. Exercises in paraphrasing,
3. Exercises which expose the student to different voices,
accents, and speeds.
