It is an interpreting textbook written for senior English majors based on China's "English Teaching Syllabus." The book consists of 14 units, each divided into five parts: vocabulary and expressions, background knowledge, sight translation, interpreting exercises, and supplementary interpreting exercises. After revision, the book highlights the following features:
★ Reduces the focus on general daily conversation topics and selects more materials suitable for formal settings, with a rich variety of themes. Examples include speeches by celebrities, press interviews, and United Nations documents. This is beneficial for further improving the skills of senior students and laying a foundation for simultaneous interpreting.
★ Each unit includes a sight translation exercise, which is unique to this book. It helps students transition from translation to interpreting, cultivates familiarity with the mechanisms of interpreting thinking, enhances quick response abilities, and master the basic techniques of interpreting.
★ Emphasizes knowledge. The entire textbook covers a broad range of topics, such as economy and trade, culture, science and technology, education, and sports. Each unit includes an in-depth introduction to background knowledge, and both sight translation and interpreting exercises are rich in content, significantly expanding students' knowledge base.
