Simultaneous Interpretation 同声传译
In simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter has to speak and listen at the same time, with the translation keeping pace with the speech. Simultaneous interpretation is the ideal choice for conferences and meetings where immediacy and accuracy are required.
Simultaneous translators bear a heavy burden of responsibility. Mistranslation can result in ambiguity or misunderstanding in the terms of agreements, contracts, or claims, perhaps resulting in serious financial losses or negotiation failures.
Consecutive Interpretation 交替传译
During consecutive interpretation, the speaker says a few sentences while the interpreter listens, then the speaker pauses while the consecutive interpreter translates what has just been said into the target language. During this process, specialized interpretation equipment is typically not required.
Those looking for translations with the highest level of accuracy on rendering, in the environment of one-on-one or small group interviews, press conferences, or business meetings, can turn to our professional consecutive interpreters for help.

The baseline criterion for such expertise is fluent, error-free translation, such that both sides can be confident they have shared and understood the communication in question. Ideally, every word without exception has been chosen appropriately.
