I want to take the intermediate interpreting exam, but I don t know how to choose a textbook

Edited by Mei Deming, 3rd Edition, Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press.

This book is very easy to buy ** Dangdang should be available.

Regarding translation, my teacher once recommended a book "Interpreting Second Stage Exam Preparation Training" by Tao Wei Tongji University Press, which I personally feel like it is average, and it can be used to test my own level.

The vocabulary is the interpretation vocabulary of New Oriental, I don't remember the specific title.

Let me recommend a book.

The five official books of Shanghai and foreign countries, if you have money, you can buy them all, but I don't recommend it, it's too expensive.

I used the "Practical Guidance of Interpreting Notes" issued by Wu University

That's what I used, and I debuted in the second version.

I bought it, and I didn't lose a dime, so it's almost the same time to go through the whole book.

The notes inside will last a lifetime!

Good luck passing the oral exam!

In fact, it is enough to buy three copies, and Onlly is like this. Interpreting, translating, and listening, these three books should be done well. Don't flip it over and get past.

If you think these three books are about the same, you can make two book books, and there are a lot of them in the bookstore, so you can smoke two books. Borrowed words can look at your reading ability and play a role in making up for the difference. The compilation of the real exam papers must be bought, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Press, because only this one has the real questions of the oral exam, and the intermediate ones are green.

You can check it on the Internet.,The regular textbooks are the five official ones at home and abroad.,But like reading and listening.,If your foundation is okay.,You don't have to buy it.,But like the two books of translation and speaking are still good.。

Recommended reference book: "Analysis of Intermediate Interpreting Past Questions", Tongji University Press, which contains eight sets of past questions with detailed analysis, must buy; New Oriental Oral Examination Training Course Designated Tutoring Book Series, edited by Wang Haitao and Qiu Zhengzheng, World Book Publishing Company, a set of four books, three books of "Vocabulary Essentials", "Essentials of Oral Examination Preparation" and "Essentials of Oral Written Exam Preparation"; Practical Course of Intermediate English Interpreting, edited by Kang Zhifeng, East China University of Science and Technology Press; "Written Examination for Intermediate and Advanced English Interpreting" and "Oral Examination Guide" are both edited by Tan Baoquan, the former is Shanghai Translation Publishing House, and the latter is Donghua University Press; Practical Interpreting, edited by Lin Chaolun, Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press, talks about interpreting shorthand symbols.

There are two stages: written and oral. The written test consists of three parts: listening, reading, and translation, and the main bibliography is the advanced listening course and the advanced translation course. A considerable part of the content of the real questions will come from the tutorial, so the tutorial is still very basic.

In addition, you need nearly four years of practice to familiarize yourself with the question types and test points, and grasp the time to answer the questions. If you pass the written test, you can take the oral test. The oral test is divided into two parts: speaking and interpreting.

The speaking session is relatively easy, with a topic and five minutes to prepare, and the main test is basic speaking, fluency in English. Interpreting is more difficult. Gao Kou has two articles translated from English to Chinese and two articles from Chinese to English.

Each passage is divided into two paragraphs, and after the recording of each paragraph, there will be an interval of about 40-50 seconds for interpretation. Interpreting is a test of responsiveness and proficiency, and the reference for review is the Advanced Interpreting Course. Not only should you be very familiar with the above content and basic vocabulary and sentence patterns, but you also need to practice from ear to mouth, because many people read "silently" or "sight-translated" when watching interpretation, which is still very different from the actual test requirements.

In addition, my personal suggestion is that if you feel that you can't do it completely by yourself, you can also go to the relevant training courses, of course, the learning effect will be more obvious in institutions with a better reputation. My classmates and I have taken classes in Suzhou Yigele, and I feel that the teachers there are still more substantial. You can also find out.

I've known a lot, so I'll give you another one here.

Here's my written exam review method for reference:

The five textbooks: Interpreting, the spoken language is thrown away first. Look at it during the oral exam. Focus on listening and reading (in principle, reading can actually be practiced when doing mock papers, but considering that most of the current mock papers are in the form of CD-ROMs, it is not very convenient, so the focus is still on these two textbooks.) ）

Listening books are very important, because listening is difficult, there is the first part of digging twenty empty, more practice will be faster, you must practice to a certain amount. Another difficulty in listening is listening and interpreting, this part can only try to get points, but the score is not high, so don't worry too much, but you also have to practice more, there will be progress.

As for the translation of textbooks, they are read simultaneously with the questions, which can be regarded as accumulation and consolidation and expansion of vocabulary. Since there is also a translation part in the exam, it should be reviewed. The reference book of New Oriental, that is, the essence of interpreting and preparing for the exam, can also be read together, and the above summary is better.

Let's talk about the mock volume: because it is to be printed, I suggest that you systematically make the mock paper when the textbook reaches a certain stage. Mock rolls are a must!

There are still two months (loose count), 7 weeks, you make a plan for 5 days a week, isn't it? Closed on weekends. In this way, it will be 35 days of review, and you will not panic too much when school starts.

There's definitely a holiday syndrome at the beginning of school, so don't expect it to be too efficient at that time. I suggest that this can be reviewed like this (for example, what to review is, of course, up to you. Monday morning:

spot dictation, two readings, see a lesson translation; Afternoon: The efficiency is relatively low, you can sort out the things you do and read in the morning, and then do some topics appropriately, such as a translation. Then the things that are sorted out in the afternoon can be carried tomorrow morning, which is more efficient.

And so on and so forth. This is my method when I review, you can think about it, the amount is not large, but I have reviewed all three items in one day).

As for the training class: I have been to New Oriental, which is not bad, and it is not much help for review, but at least it can stimulate your interest in learning English, and the teachers are very charismatic, I think the written test mainly relies on doing questions.

The difficulty is similar to level 6, and it is recommended that the textbooks need to buy real questions, translation, listening, and interpretation, and the others are dispensable.

This is my own summary of the method, I hope you apply, I wish you a smooth pass!
