(1) English-Chinese (Consecutive Interpretation): Candidates are required to translate an English speech of about 500 words into Chinese. (2) Chinese-English (Consecutive Interpretation): Candidates are required to translate a Chinese speech of about 700 words into English. The interpretation examination is conducted by listening to audio recordings and translating. Candidates wear headphones in the soundproof room, listen to an English or Chinese speech recording, and then translate it into Chinese or English and record it onto a tape. The length of the recording varies from 250 words/characters for the junior level to 600 to 800 words/characters for the advanced level. Interpretation, like translation, requires a solid foundation. Without the corresponding grammar and vocabulary knowledge and the ability to master them, improving translation skills is just empty talk. Only by practicing grammar and vocabulary basics well can one generalize and handle translation flexibly and accurately, and only then can one achieve high scores in various exams. This book provides precise and targeted guidance on how to achieve faithfulness to the original text and smooth translations based on solid Chinese and English fundamentals.
