Please introduce simultaneous interpretation.

Simultaneous interpretation: a form of interpretation in which an interpreter continuously translates the contents of one party's speech to another party. Because the translator's translation is almost synchronous with one party's speech, this kind of translation is also called synchronous translation. Simultaneous interpretation is also called simultaneous interpretation.

In most cases, simultaneous interpretation is carried out through audio equipment; The interpreter needs to listen to the interpreter in the room next to the meeting place. In some cases, simultaneous interpretation can also be carried out without using audio equipment, which is called whisper interpretation. The method is that interpreters sit on both sides of the listener and translate the discussion process of the meeting to the listener at the same time with the minimum volume.

The biggest advantage of simultaneous interpretation is its high time efficiency, which can ensure the speaker to make a coherent speech without affecting or interrupting the speaker's thinking, which is conducive to the audience's understanding of the full text of the speech. Due to the above advantages, simultaneous interpretation is considered to be the most efficient translation form. International organizations usually use it as a means of interpreting conference speeches. Simultaneous interpretation is sometimes used in academic reports, lectures and other occasions.

Simultaneous interpretation saves time, can be translated into multiple languages at the same time, and can serve many listeners, but it has some disadvantages.

1) consumes considerable manpower and material resources.

2) It is not easy to find a suitable translator.

3) The accuracy is low, which is easy to cause misunderstanding.

4) Low degree of confidentiality.
