The woman interpreter serving him stole the show by interpreting the whole speech into English accurately. Apart from an excellent command of two languages, conference interpreters need to have a special set of skills: precise note-taking, quick response, good memory, and the ability to handle a mass of facts with ease. You will certainly find such a toolbox very instrumental when sitting for exams and developing your career.\u00a0 Having been a translator and conference interpreter for 35 years, the speaker will share with you the tricks.<\/p><p>Date\uff1a10 June 2022 (Fri)<\/p><p>Time\uff1a3:30 pm &#8211; 4:30 pm<\/p><p>Speaker\uff1aDr Cheung King Man<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lecturer, School of Translation and Foreign Languages<\/p><p>Language: Cantonese, supplemented with English<\/p><p>Delivery mode: In-person (D501, Lee Quo Wei Academic Building, Yuen Campus, HSUHK) and live broadcast via Zoom<\/p><p>Registration: please click<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/r\/zyZiNAU4Xd\">here<\/a><\/span><br \/>(Meeting link will be sent to successful registrants one day before the public lecture.)<\/p><p>All are welcome to join!
