Features: After China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), our country's economic activities and social life will undoubtedly accelerate the process of globalization. In the increasingly frequent exchanges and international interactions, foreign language translation, especially English interpretation, has become an urgent need for the entire society. To meet the needs of English majors and amateur interpreters, as well as to help English learners quickly and effectively master English interpretation skills, we have organized a team of outstanding teaching staff to write the Practical English Interpretation Course. This book is a practical textbook and reference book that integrates tool-oriented, timeliness, systematicity, and audio-visual elements, with a focus on improving learners' practical application skills. The main features of this book are as follows:
● As a textbook: This book can serve as a textbook for English interpretation skills training for undergraduate and junior college students in English majors, higher vocational and technical education, adult education, and self-taught higher education.
● As a reference book: The content of this book is extensive and closely related to all aspects of modern social life. It is categorized and arranged to provide users with common English vocabulary and expressions for foreign-related activities in fields such as education, tourism, culture, economic and trade, politics, law, and diplomacy. This facilitates learners in accessing relevant information and helps them solve specific problems in their interpretation work.
● Effective targeting: The main materials and viewpoints of this book come from the authors' recent years of English interpretation teaching and research, combined with their practical interpretation experience. It reflects the difficulties and key points faced by English interpreters in China's foreign exchanges, enabling learners to master a large number of common professional English terms and quickly improve their practical English interpretation skills.
● Audio-visual practicality: To eliminate the drawbacks of "silent materials" that lead to "silent English," the writing team has specially hired foreign teachers to produce original sound recordings for the text content and related phrases. To strengthen the practice of English-Chinese interpretation skills, we have derived a series of relevant English-Chinese phrases and short sentences based on the text content, keeping learners in an English-Chinese comparative context to familiarize themselves with and master the most commonly used English-Chinese translation terms and expressions in this field.
