Case Analysis On Concecutive Interpretation

In this report, the author chooses a speech given by economist Justin Yifu Lin in Council on Foreign Relations, and researches the original speech and the transcript of the interpretation by analyzing the background and target of this project, and the preparation task and performance of the interpreter. Typical problems such as information missing, language mistakes and note-taking disorder are picked out, while commands and suggestions are also listed. Interpreters should take proper countermeasures to address those problems, or the performance of the interpretation would be greatly affected. The author hopes that this report can serve as a reference in helping new learners to interpretation, and provide a material for researchers in this area.
