conversation 2

M

：

Todaymy guest is Dana who has worked for thelast twenty

years as aninterpreter. Dana, welcome.

W

：

ThankYou.

M

：Now,I’d like to begin by saying that I haveon the

occasions used an interpretermyself as a foreign

I’mfull of memo rations for what youdo.6.

But Ithink your profession is sometimes underrated and many

people thinkanyone whospeaks more than one language can do it.

W

：Thereare any interpreters I know who don’thave

professional qualifications and

training. You only really get profession aftermany years in

the job.

M

：

Andsay you can divide what you do into twodistinct methods

simultaneous and

consecutive interpreting.

W

：That’ techniques you use a

lot of interpreters wouldsay one is easier than the

other,less stressful.

M

：Simultaneousinterpreting, putting someone’swor

ds into

another language more or less asthey speak, sounds to me like

themore difficult.

W

：

Well,actually ople in the business would agree

that consecutiveinterpreting is the morestressful. You have

to wait for the speaker to deliverquite a chunk of

languagebefore you then put it into the second language

whichputs your short termmemory under in tense stress.

M

：

Youmight know presumably?

W

：

nglike numbers, names,places have to be

noted down, but the rest is never

translated word for word. You have found theway of

summarizing it. So that themessages arethere, turning every

single wordinto the target language wouldput too much strain

on the interpreter and slowdown the whole process toomuch.

M

：

Butwhile simultaneous interpreting you starttranslating

almost as soon as the

other person starts speaking, you must havesome preparation

beforehand.

W

：

Well,hopefully, the speakers will outline ofthe topic a

day or two in advance, you

have a low time to do research preparetechnical expressions

and so on

Q

：

e the speakers mainly talking about?

esthe man think of Dana’s profession?

Dana say about the interpreters she knows?

most of interpreters think ofconsecutive

interpreting?

Passage 1

Mothers have been warnedfor yearsthat sleeping with their new

born infant isa bad idea because it increases the risk that

the baby might die unexpectedlyduring the now

Israeli researchers arereporting that even sleeping in the

same room canhave negative consequences, not for the child,

but for the s who slept in the same room with

their infants, whether inthe same bed or just the same room,

have poor sleep the mother whose baby sleptelse where in the

house. They woke up more frequently or awake approximately

20minutes longer per night and have shorter period of

uninterrupted sleep. Theseresults how true even taking into

account that many of the women in the studywere breast-

feeding their babies. Infants, on the other hand, didn’t

appear tohave worse sleep whether they slept in the same or

different room from theirmothers. The researchers acknowledge

that since the families they studied wereall middle classes

Israelis. It is possible that the results will be differentin

different cultures. Lead author TTTT wrote in an email that

the researchteam also didn’t measure father sleep. So it is

possible that patterns couldalso be causing the sleep

disruptions for mums. Right now, to reduce the riskof sudden

infant death in the room, the AmericanAcademy of PDrecommends

the mothers not sleep in the same bed with their babies, but

sleepin the same room. The Israeli study suggests thatdoing

so, may be best for the baby, but may take at all on mum.
