Features: The writing of "A Practical English-Chinese and Chinese-English Interpretation Course" primarily reflects comprehensiveness and practicality, aiming to help students understand the nature and characteristics of interpretation work, learn to apply relevant skills, appreciate the various factors influencing interpretation, and ultimately achieve the goal of mastering skills and accumulating experience. The textbook is divided into ten units (Unit), which provide a general introduction to interpretation knowledge and related techniques, while the remaining units are organized around nine thematic topics such as tourism and sightseeing, cultural and education, social issues, economic and trade, health and sanitation, international relations, science and technology, sports and entertainment, and conference speeches. Each unit consists of two sets of lessons (Lesson), with each set containing five texts (Text). Text1 is a guiding article designed to familiarize students with the relevant background knowledge of the topic, gradually immerse them in the role, and cultivate the habit of valuing pre-interpretation preparation. Then follow English-Chinese (Text2) and Chinese-English (Text3) texts, each accompanied by reference translations and explanations of translation methods for classroom practice and analysis. Text4 and Text5 are two supplementary texts on the same topic, both with reference translations, which can be used for additional classroom exercises, post-class review, or self-study outside of class. The textbook is accompanied by audio tapes for classroom teaching and student self-study.
