- Chinese proverb
It may help to think of language as a great field of word plants. Whenever most people focus their attention on one subject, it´s like a great dose of fertilizer and rain on that portion of the field. Existing words grow and flower into new meanings. Nouns sprout verbs.
- Allan Metcalf (American linguist)
Hope is the thing
With feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune
Without the words
And never stops at all.
Have you got a brook in your little heart,
Where bashful flowers blow,
And blushing birds go down to drink,
And shadows tremble so ?
- Emily Dickinson ( Am.poet 1830 - 1886)
A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality.
- Sir Winston Churchill
Money comes and goes;
morality comes and grows.
- Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Types of interpreting
Consecutive interpreting
Is the process in which the interpreter translates a few sentences at a time for the audience, alternating with the person who is talking. This technique is widely used in business and technical negotiations, trainng sessions, factory tours etc.
Simultaneous - Conference Interpreting
The original speach is immediately interpreted into the target language; the interpreter talks at the same time as the speaker, usually in a conference or meeting. For this type of interpreting, a pair of interpreters will take turns as the work is very demanding. Special interpreting equipment is necessary (radio microphone for the interpreter and headsets for the listeners.
´Chuchotage´ - Whispering
This is a form of simultaneous interpreting, the interpreter works without technical aids - there is only one listener (max. two) requiring interpreting of the speaker´s words, the interpreter sits by /behind the client and interprets in a low voice.
Escort interpreting
The interpreter accompanies the client, who is conducting an on-site visit, company visit, at a business lunch etc.
