SAMPLE OF CONSECUTIVE INTERPRETING (interpreter unknown) This video shows a female interpreter performing consecutive interpreting; she waits for each speaker to finish his/her statement, and then interprets into the other language. This is the type of interpreting that must be used for an interview. The interpreter has to sometimes retain great sections of a statement and must take notes in order to render accurately. The interpreter also has to manage the pace of the conversation without interrupting too frequently. Consecutive interpreting is also used in telephonic interpreting. During a narration the interpreter uses the simultaneous mode. |
