Simultaneous interpretation--the highest level of interpretation

Simultaneous interpretation--the highest level of interpretation. Siting in a soundproof simultaneous interpretation booth (commonly known as "box"), interpreters use special equipments to listen to the continuous speech of the source language speaker via headset, and simultaneously and accurately express all the information through microphone in target language. Participants who need interpretation services can tune to the language channel they want through the receiving device and receive the corresponding target language from the headset. Although this specialized profession is called "conference interpretation", in addition to international conferences, it is widely applied in foreign affairs, meetings and negotiations, business activities, news media, training and teaching, television broadcasting, international arbitration and other fields.

Simultaneous interpretation, the most difficult type of interpretation, is now becoming a popular translation method in international conferences because it is more time-saving than consecutive interpretation.
