Features: This book aims to systematically elaborate on the basic principles, laws, and techniques of interpreting, guided by interpreting theory. At the same time, it supplements a large number of bilingual interpreting practice and exercises. The book strives to be concise and practical. As we often say, "practice makes perfect," but how can one achieve "practice"? The key lies in "practice." Practice leads to familiarity, and familiarity leads to skill. This is also the requirement for interpreting skills and techniques. Therefore, examples and practice also carry significant weight in the book. The book consists of nine chapters. The first three chapters briefly introduce the basic theory, common knowledge, and laws of interpreting, while the last five chapters introduce the characteristics and techniques of interpreting in various fields such as political diplomacy, foreign trade and economy, tourism, science and technology, and academic conferences. Chapter 9 concisely summarizes the characteristics and basic techniques of simultaneous interpreting. The appendix compiles some basic interpreting reference materials for readers' future use when needed.
