He shared with teachers and students of w88 casino the qualities and interpreting skills that interpreters should possess. The lecture was given by the Master of Translation and Interpretation of the w88 casino of English (MTI) Hosted by Ding Hao, a student majoring in interpretation.

Before the lecture started, Vice President Lin Guijun metPhilip PriestlyMr. and his party, accompanied by the director of the International Exchange OfficeXia Haiquan, Dean of the w88 casino of English Wang Lifei, Secretary of the Party Committee of the w88 casino of English Zhang Cuiping, Deputy Secretary Xu Wenbing and other leaders.

At the beginning of the lecture, Zhang Cuiping, Secretary of the Party Committee of the w88 casino of English, first spokePhilip PriestlyMr. andCai Yonggang6619_6704Best wishes to both of youSir, your trip to Beijing can be enjoyable and successful.

In a burst of warm applause,PriestlyMr. gave a speech first. As a senior diplomat and interpreting expert,PriestlyBased on his own experience and as a "client", Mr. 7626_7888| put forward the following three requirements for interpreters: First, an excellent interpreter must be able to understand the accents of different countries and regions. Just being able to understand American and British accents is no longer enough nowadays. Only when you are able to understand a variety of English with local accents can you be comfortable in consecutive interpretation at international conferences. Secondly, translators need to be fully prepared before certain situations occur and leave a way out for themselves when translating to avoid the dilemma of being unable to continue translating at the scene. Third, make sure you carry a pen and paper with you. This is especially important because interpreting is everywhere and you have to make sure you can record every word your speaker says, and just relying on your brain's memory is not enough. Subsequently,PriestlyMr. also gave his own opinions on how to better express the speaker's meaning. There was constant laughter throughout the speech,PriestlyMr. always shares interesting stories he encountered in his diplomatic career with the audience, which greatly enhances the appeal of his speech.

The second person to give a speech was Mr. Cai Yonggang, Academic Director of the Interpretation Federation. He first put forward three traditional requirements for translators: the translator's duty is to help the audience understand the speech; as an interpreter, he must have extensive knowledge; and the accurate and fluent transmission of information is the top priority. But then, he challenged the previous three traditional points and pointed out that with the development of society, just achieving these three points is not enough. An excellent translator should not only help the audience understand the speech, but also take this opportunity to spread Chinese culture;Not only must you have a broad range of knowledge, but you must also have the courage to face things you don’t know calmly; not only must you convey information accurately and fluently, but you must also pay attention to the small semantic changes brought about by each re-reading of the speaker. This seemingly demanding requirement has become a professional quality that a good translator should possess. Mr. Cai Yonggang explained his views with vivid examples from his interpreting career.

Immediately afterwards, the two guests invited a student to come on stage to simulate the situation of the interpretation scene, and the outstanding performance of our students also won the awardPriestlyMr.’s great praise. Mr. Cai Yonggang made a professional evaluation of the student’s simulated interpretation.
