We know that in cross-language cultural communication activities, consecutive interpretation and simultaneous interpretation are the main translation forms to solve the language communication problems of participants. So, what is consecutive interpreting, what is simultaneous interpreting, and is consecutive interpreting easier than simultaneous interpreting?
Consecutive interpreting refers to oral interpretation performed alone when the speaker finishes speaking or stops to wait for the interpreter. It does not require special equipment. This mode of interpretation is mostly used in small-scale occasions involving only two working languages, such as diplomatic meetings, bilateral negotiations, visits, small-scale consultations, interviews with journalists, judicial and quasi-judicial procedures, speeches at banquets, press conferences and time Short mini-seminars etc.
Simultaneous interpretation is a translation method in which the interpreter interprets the content to the audience without interruption without interrupting the speaker's speech. Its great advantage is that it does not take up meeting time. It has developed into the most commonly used mode in conference interpretation and is widely used in various international occasions. Almost all formal international multilingual conferences and international organizations (such as the United Nations and the European Union) have adopted simultaneous interpretation as the standard mode of interpretation.
Although both consecutive interpretation and simultaneous interpretation aim to enable people who speak different languages to achieve clear and barrier-free instant communication, their applicable scenarios and required equipment are different. For an excellent conference interpreter, it is very important to master the interpretation skills of simultaneous interpretation and consecutive interpretation.
