GEST Training: Simultaneous Interpretation Workshop
GE2017-14
GEST Training: Simultaneous Interpretation Workshop
即時傳譯工作坊
追求知識不應存在語言界限!所以,以廣東話進行的通識活動,皆附設英語及普通話的即時傳譯,以確保所有學生得到相同的學習機會。而為通識擔任即時傳譯員的,大部份是正在修讀翻譯的同學。要成為出一個稱職的即時傳譯員,除了需要專業技巧訓練,知識領域更要好比SIRI般廣闊,才不致鬧出網上翻譯平台那些笑話。

Language should not be a barrier to learning. Therefore, simultaneous interpretation in English or Putonghua is available for GE programmes conducted in Cantonese. HKU students who are studying interpretation courses will be invited to be our interpreters. This arrangement not only ensures that non-local students can benefit from the learning opportunities at GE but also provides student interpreters with practical, hands-on experience.
