　　Interpretation
　　Translation and interpretation are the ultimate jobs for people who love language. However，there are a lot of misunderstandings about these two fields，including the difference between them and what kind of skills and education they require．
　　For some reason．most laypeople refer to both translation and interpretation as“translation”.Although translation and interpretation share the common goal of taking information that is available in one language and converting it to another，they are in fact two separate processes. So what is the difference between translation and interpretation? It’s very simple.Translation is　written—it involves taking a written text(such as a book or an article) and translating it in writing into the target language．Interpretation is oral—it refers to listening to something spoken (a speech or phone conversation)and interpreting it orally into the target language. Incidentally，those who facilitate communication between hearing persons and deaf/hard-of-hearing persons are also known as interpreters．This might seem like a subtle distinction，but if you consider your own language skills．the odds are that your ability to read/write and listen/speak is not identical—you are probablv more skilled at one pair of the other．So translators are excellent writers，while interpreters have superior oral communication skills．In addition，spoken language is quite different from written ,which adds a further dimension to the distinction．Then there’s the fact that translators work alone to produce a translation，while interpreters work with two or more people/groups to provide an interpretation on the spot during negotiations，seminars，phone conversations，etc．
　　There are two types of interpretation：simultaneous and consecutive interpretation The main difference between them lies in the time lag between the original speech and the interpretation into the foreign language. Simultaneous is "continuous flow" whereas consecutive has a "stop-and-go"rhythm. It is comparable to the difference between doing consecutive and concurrent time.
　　Simultaneous is real-time interpreting: speakers talk as they normally would, without pause,as the interpreter .listens to one language and speaks in another, all at the same time (hence the term simultaneous), with the voices overlapping, though the speaker's voice is dominant and the interpreter whispers into a microphone. It is also known as U.N. style interpreting. Simultaneous interpreting is the only way to provide a running rendition of everything said in the courtroom by judge, counsel, witnesses,
