 Simultaneous Interpreting
Typically, while performing Simultaneous Interpreting, the interpreter sits in a booth wearing a pair of headphones and speaks
into a microphone. Strictly speaking, “simultaneous” is a misnomer: the interpreter cannot start interpreting until he or she
understands the general meaning of the sentence. Depending for example, on how far apart in the sentence to be interpreted the
subject and the verb are located, the interpreter may not be able to utter even a single word until he or she has heard the entire
sentence!

This fact should make it evident how difficult the task of the interpreter really is: she must translate the sentence into the target
language while simultaneously listening to and comprehending the next sentence. You can experience the difficulty of the task
even if you only speak one language: try paraphrasing someone’s speech with a half-sentence delay while making sure you
understand the next sentence and paraphrasing the previous one.

One of the key skills of the simultaneous interpreter is decisiveness: there is simply no time to weigh the merits of variant
translations, or to recall just the right idiom in the target language. Any delay and a few words (and possibly a complete thought)
that the speaker uttered could be lost, and since the speaker may be far away, or even in a different room than the interpreter, the
loss may be permanent…
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover
without requiring special treatment. However, some will become seriously ill and require medical
attention. Older people and those with underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular disease,
diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. Anyone
can get sick with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at any age. 

The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the disease and
how the virus spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by staying at least 1 metre apart
from others, wearing a properly fitted mask, and washing your hands or using an alcohol-based
rub frequently. Get vaccinated when it’s your turn and follow local guidance.

The virus can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they
cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe. These particles range from larger respiratory droplets to
smaller aerosols. It is important to practice respiratory etiquette, for example by coughing into a
flexed elbow, and to stay home and self-isolate until you recover if you feel unwell…
 Will Summer Camps Open After Coronavirus Lockdowns? Your
Summer 2020 Child-Care Questions Answered.
For working parents who depend on camps and day care,
here’s what facilities are planning

The coronavirus crisis has upended summer child care plans for parents who depend on camps and
day care. Now as many states move to ease lockdown measures, some camps and day cares are
weighing steps to open—but others aren’t sure. And parents, most importantly, want to make sure
it’s safe. Here’s what to know.

Will summer camps be open?

Many summer camps and recreational programs are still deciding how—and whether—to reopen.
While some have said they won’t open, others are making changes to accommodate stricter health
protocols. Most camps say they are in limbo as they figure out head counts, refunds and budgets—
and if they can offer a genuine summer-camp experience…
