Hello and welcome all of my faithful listeners and any new ones to episode two of series three of the Double Dorget Podcast. podcast-host

does promise by the way to be a contender for the most boring one I've ever done. podcast-host

I'm Alex Wilding and today I want to talk about the styles with which people do live interpreting in Buddhist teachings. podcast-host

Some are good, some are bad and there are a few points that I really want to make. podcast-host

And of course, I have to say it, please like and subscribe if you find these podcasts valuable. podcast-host

Thank you. podcast-host

Quickly, that's done. podcast-host

Now, I myself have never done any live interpreting, but I did spend many years translating out of German into English. podcast-host

So I did get at least a bit familiar with the language translation scene. podcast-host

In the language trade, there is a sharp distinction made between two terms: translating and interpreting. podcast-host

Translation refers here to the written word, producing a written text from a written input. podcast-host

Very important part of language work. podcast-host

Interpreting, on the other hand, involves speech and it's done basically in real time. podcast-host

Once again, there is here a distinction between two very different things. podcast-host

One is simultaneously. podcast-host

Simultaneous interpreting and the other is interpreting sequentially. podcast-host

The first one, simultaneous, is the kind of thing that goes on, for example, in the United Nations. podcast-host

where some pompous politician makes a speech, probably one whose outline has not even been seen by the interpreter beforehand. podcast-host

While the interpreter reproduces the speech in their target language at the same time. podcast-host

It involves listening, thinking, formulating speech in the target language and speaking it all out at the same time. podcast-host
