A Practice Report On The Simulated Consecutive Interpretation Of A Speech On IAC Given By Elon Musk

Elon Musk,the founder of SpaceX,delivered a speech on the topic of making humanity a multi-planet species.He also came up with the Mars migration plan,which has aroused wide attention in the world.The author chose this speech as a practical material,which will help more people understand the trend of technological development in the future.The speech has obvious characteristics of texts in the field of science and technology,and it introduces the “interplanetary transportation system”and a road to Mars in detail,which is scientific and objective.Based on the simulated interpretation practice,this report covers the process from the preparation to reflection under the guidance of interpretive theory,which is combined with reality to solve the problem of information loss in short-term memory in the process of interpreting.Based on cases analysis,this report proposes specific skills and strategies from the aspects of understanding the source language,memorizing methods,note-taking and other factors to explore how interpreter can flexibly deal with loss of information in short-term memory at a conference.Through the simulation of this lecture,the author has had a better understanding of the cutting-edge dynamics of aerospace development around the world and be more familiar with the relevant steps of interpretation practice.The experience gained from this practice lays a foundation for forming a scientific interpretation process.The author hopes to provide references for practices of this kind and prepare well for works in related area in the future.
