Well, actually no, most people in the business would agree that consecutive interpreting is the more stressful.

其实则不然，大多数口译者都认为交替传译比同声传译更有压。

And am I right in saying you can divide what you do into two distinct methods, simultaneous and consecutive interpreting?

你们的工作中有两种不同的翻译方式：同声传译和交替传译，我说的对吗？

But with simultaneous interpreting, you start translating almost as soon as the other person starts speaking.

但是对于同声传译，你几乎需在别人一开始说话的时候就开始翻译。

The techniques you use are different, and a lot of interpreters will say one is easier than the other, less stressful.

二者所用方法是不同的，很多译员认为同声传译比交替传译简单，工作强度小。

How long, then, before automatic simultaneous translation becomes the norm, and all those tedious language lessons at school are declared redundant?

那么，自动同声传译还多久才能成为常见之物？学校里沉闷乏味的语言课程什么时候才可以取消？

Simultaneous interpreting, putting someone's words into another language more or less as they speak, sounds to me like the more difficult.

同声传译需口译者在说话者正在说话时，把他所说的话翻译成的另一种语言，对我而言，这比较难。

At the moment, the need for the headsets, cloud services and intervening laptop means Mr Powell's simultaneous system is still very much a prototype.

Powell先生的同声传译系统目前需还使用耳机、云服务和介于中间的笔记本，这说明它仍然只是一个设计原型。

Due to the obvious language barriers, a simultaneous  interpretation system was introduced, allowing the different countries to listen to translations  in real time, speeding up the proceedings.

由于存在明显的语言障碍，引入了同声传译系统，使不同国家能够实时取翻译，从而加快了诉讼程序的速度。

Over the summer, Will Powell, an inventor in London, demonstrated a system that translates both sides of a conversation between English and Spanish speakers— if they are patient, and speak slowly.

去夏天，伦敦发明家Will Powell展示了一套系统，可以在英语和西班牙语之间即时传译――如果交谈者可以耐心地说慢一点。

A series of announcements over the past few months from sources as varied as mighty Microsoft and string-and-sealing-wax private inventors suggest that workable, if not yet perfect, simultaneous-translation devices are now close at hand.

在过去几个月，源自不同渠道――从强大的微软到产品花哨的个人发明家――的消息表明，同声传译装置虽非完美，但做到基本可用已经指日可待了。
