Features: Since the reform and opening-up, China has been carrying out diplomatic, economic, technological, and cultural exchanges and cooperation with many countries on an unprecedented scale and speed. In these international interactions, English has become increasingly important. Therefore, the Ministry of Personnel has decided, after research, to implement a qualification examination system for translation professionals. To prepare for the interpretation examination, the authors have specifically compiled the book "Self-Practice." The characteristics of interpretation are primarily the accurate understanding of the original speech, grasping the essence of the content, quickly converting the language, reorganizing it according to the structure of the foreign language, and finally expressing it fluently, while striving to achieve a vivid effect. In real-life interpretation, the majority of translations are done in segments, not as long monologues as many books claim. To facilitate and provide realistic training, the translation examples provided in the book are all in segments, covering many fields. In this book, the authors not only share their own insights but also introduce the rich experience of many senior figures in China's interpretation field as references for those who are aspiring to the profession.
