Today I was asked to interpret for an English speaker at a meeting. Although I have translated some materials written in English into Japanese and vice versa, it was my first time to do simultaneous translation. And I couldn't do a good job and I became like a lame duck.
But, I learned one thing from this experience. You must not think while interpreting at a meeting. You've got to keep going, which was kind of hard to me, because I'm a thinker. Well, probably I should stop bitching because if you want to speak English fluently, your language is supposed to be made spontaneously.
