annoying shadow exercise

The preliminary round of the interpreting competition officially kicked off.

This competition is only open to colleges and universities. Some well-known colleges and universities in the Japanese department directly apply for a contestant in the school selection every year, while other lesser-known ones are pre-selected and eliminated within the division. In the preliminary round, there were no more than 20 contestants.

The preliminary round was scheduled for the last Saturday in November. Since it was necessary to go up one by one, it would take a long time for [-] people to line up.

The competition is divided into two sections: consecutive interpretation and simultaneous interpretation, each of which is divided into two sections: Chinese, foreign, foreign, and Chinese.In the morning, the sequential lottery was drawn first, and Bai Zhen was drawn for the morning session.For the sake of fairness, all the contestants stayed in the soundproof rooms on both sides of the stage, and only one person was assessed each time.

Bai Zhen smoked a No.5 and stayed in the soundproof room for more than an hour, only seeing the people on the stage talking but not knowing what they were talking about, it felt weird.In the soundproof room, there were those who practiced and chatted quietly. Before the game, the communication equipment was not allowed in the soundproof room. It seemed that it would definitely be worse after the game. After this day, I couldn’t do anything but practice. I felt crazy.

When Jiang Chengzhe came to participate in this competition, he took the third-to-last appearance, but he was so calm that he actually practiced in the soundproof room for a day. This feat was once a legend.And last year, Sun Rui drew a sequence of no front and no back in the afternoon, which drove her crazy.After all, there are very few people, no, it should be said that almost no one is as patient as Jiang Chengzhe.Therefore, in the soundproof room before the game, there may still be people practicing in the morning, but in the afternoon, they are basically chatting.

Bai Zhen thought that he was incomparable with his senior brother, but fortunately his little black hand was quite powerful this time, and he drew a lucky order of early death and early rebirth.

It's time for him to play.Due to the tight schedule, the preliminaries are not on TV, and everyone knows the rules of the competition, so no one talks nonsense, and they just roll up their sleeves when they go on stage.

First is the reciprocal part.The Chinese-to-Japanese translation is a speech, which is about current affairs and policies. They usually practice it in class, and it is not difficult.The Japanese-Chinese translation was a bit annoying for Bai Zhen, it was a piece of financial news, all kinds of data were superimposed, remembering that Bai Zhen's brain hurts.There is a section in the middle where several data are superimposed in a row, and Bai Zhen didn't hear two of them clearly, so points will probably be deducted.

Next is the simultaneous interpretation. Before the simultaneous interpretation, a piece of paper with several key words will be given to remind the general content of the next two paragraphs of material.Then there are 3 minutes of preparation time, you can use the dictionary.

Judging from the few key words, the Chinese materials should be about porcelain culture, while the Japanese materials are probably about robots.Bai Zhen didn't use a dictionary, but roughly sorted out his thoughts and thought about the existing accumulation of these two aspects.The topic of robots is still popular, so it should be fine.But he didn't have much contact with porcelain culture, and he felt that his car might be overturned.

It was officially opened, and the porcelain culture turned over at the first sentence. Bai Zhenxin said twice in his heart, paused for a few seconds and began to bite the bullet and opened his mouth. In just a few minutes, it feels like half of the information has been sent out.Fortunately, the performance is still calm.The Japanese material is about nursing care robots for the elderly. The topic is quite routine. There are a few long and complicated sentences in it. Bai Zhen even predicted a wrong sentence. When he heard the end of the sentence, he froze for a moment, and immediately made up for it calmly. .

A new scoring mechanism was introduced into the competition last year. In addition to the professional judges, an audience jury was also added.The audience judges are randomly invited people from all walks of life, many of whom do not understand foreign languages. This is also a consideration in terms of who the interpreter serves.

Unless the speaker follows the script, or the content itself is extremely simple, there will be some places that cannot be translated in interpretation, especially in simultaneous interpretation.In fact, most of the audience don't understand whether the translation is right or wrong, and they also can't translate it. A good psychological quality can calmly cover up the past, while a poor one may get stuck at once. It also becomes impossible.

In addition, when they can be translated, some people's language is particularly cumbersome and unorganized. Although the meaning is conveyed, it is not as good as the intermittent, and the effect of expressing the meaning is much worse.

After passing the level of expressing meaning, there is an advanced goal of expression.When the translation really enters the state, there will be a feeling of synchronization with the speaker.At this time, it is not only the meaning of his words that is conveyed, but also his emotions, emotions, and expressions should be synchronized.However, the game materials are only 3 minutes long, and the materials are all objective and narrative, so naturally this kind of state cannot be brought about.

The scoring point for the audience review is whose translation makes them sound the clearest, and if you pursue it further, it will be more aesthetically pleasing.This part of the evaluation is relatively subjective. It is inevitable that some people will subconsciously add points because of the personal conditions of the contestants, such as appearance and voice, but sometimes the image is also a big weapon for the interpreter. The one who thinks calm and unhurried is more powerful, even if he is all a lie, as long as no one exposes it, laymen will always trust the one who looks confident and calm.

But this is still a professional ability competition after all, the weight of the audience's evaluation is relatively small, and it mainly depends on the professional judges' scoring.

Bai Zhen entered the post-match soundproof room on the other side after flipping.It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous, after all, he was here on behalf of the school, if he smashed the signboard, he would have no face to go back to see Jiang Dong's elders.He filled half a bottle of water, took out his mobile phone from his school bag, and there were a few unread messages. After clicking on them, Bai Zhen typed a reply with a smile.

The message was sent by Xu Fang.The preliminaries will not be shown on TV. In addition to the professional judges and audience judges, there are also some teachers from foreign colleges and universities who come to accompany the contestants.If the players are willing, they can also invite one or two relatives and friends to watch the game.

Xu Fang is sitting below right now.As a pure spectator, he does not have the right to score points, but he also got a simultaneous interpretation headset. In addition to consecutive interpretation, he can also hear the simultaneous interpretation part of the game.He also listened to the other contestants a few times, but he was not interested, so he went about his own business after listening to a few paragraphs.

Of course, he listened to Bai Zhen's part verbatim.A person's voice will be somewhat distorted through the microphone, and Bai Zhen is no exception.But his voice has always been slightly nasal, which is amplified through the microphone.Now when I listen to Bai Zhen's words, sometimes I still feel like a cat scratching in my heart, but I never have the feeling like my heart skipped two beats when I heard Bai Zhen's translation for the first time.Just now when he listened to his nervous and serious translation through the earphones, Xu Fang felt his heart beating a little faster again.

He sent a condolence message to Bai Zhen and praised him generously.Bai Zhen replied with a bitter face, and analyzed the translation just now.The first paragraph of the speech was okay, the second paragraph of the news had two numbers wrong, the third paragraph of the porcelain culture was unreadable, and the fourth paragraph was muddled.

Although Xu Fang couldn't understand it, he could also hear that there seemed to be a few stutters in Bai Zhen's porcelain culture.And in those two daily translations, in Xu Fang's ears, although the sentences were not eloquent, they were still concise and logical.There are indeed a lot of numbers in the news section, but Xu Fang didn't pay attention to it at all when he listened to it.As a listener, he doesn't really care about each specific number, but cares about the overall meaning of the news. As for the specific data, he only needs to have a concept.But listening to what Bai really means, the correct number seems to be an important indicator.

Although Bai Zhen has already finished the competition, he only needs to be present when the final results are announced in the afternoon.But for the sake of order in the game, he must at least stay in the soundproof room after the game until the end of the morning game.

Xu Fang spared a day to accompany him today, and the two chatted for a while, and the morning session ended.Bai Zhen didn't eat the lunch provided by the competition, but went out with Xu Fang for a while.

Today, the Wannian black hand really has a long face. If the last one is drawn, he will have to sit in the soundproof room for a whole day. It would be too miserable.

In the afternoon, Bai Zhen sat in the auditorium with Xu Fang.Xu Fang was also not very interested in other people's translations, and kept flipping through the files stored in his mobile phone.Bai Zhen listened to the translation of other contestants with great interest.Occasionally, when I encountered some interesting slips of the tongue or brilliant tricks, I whispered them to Xu Fang, and I had a very good time.

After the last contestant finished flipping, the game manager arranged a 15-minute scoring time, and Bai Zhen also went to the backstage to prepare to go on stage to hear the results.

Although the preliminaries will not be shown on TV, there is still a video recording of the whole process.The number of places in the final is eight, and Bai Zhen advances with the fourth overall score.The first level was passed as expected, and Bai Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.If the car really overturned here, I felt that I might be expelled from the division.

The final is scheduled for the next afternoon.Bai Zhen gave Xu Fang a ticket to the finals from the competition manager, with a little pride on his face.

Xu Fang pinched Bai Zhen's nose, "What do you want to eat? Treat yourself."

After having dinner with Xu Fang in the evening, Bai Zhen went back to school.The teacher in the preliminary round didn't have time to come, so I still have to find time to watch the final round.After Bai Zhen reported the results of the competition, the teacher replied coldly, "That's right. One o'clock tomorrow, the office." It meant that he would take him to the competition tomorrow.
