Preparation Techniques and Syntactical Strategies for Simultaneous Interpreting

摘要

This essay is a case study of an interpreting exam recording about a speech by President Bush on the topic of energy security and climate change, this paper discussed preparation techniques and syntactical strategies for simultaneous interpreting. The research shows that interpreting excellency is based on a sound preparation. Anticipating and waiting strategies enable a natural output. Waiting could cause overloaded memory. Integrating can benefit interpreting by saving time and energy, especially in information-intensive ST. A mix of stalling and chunking can be used to deal with long and complex sentences but interpreters should be cautious on adding linking words, which may undermine the preciseness of the ST.
