The basic of interpreting is memory
Zhong (2005) believes that interpreting is an
STM (short term memory-centered activity,
which includes encoding of information
from the Source Language, storing of
information, retrieval of information, and
decoding of information into the target
language.

Tips for training short term
memory
• Retelling in the Source Language:
– The tactics could be as follows:
– Categorization: Grouping items of the same
properties;
– Generalization: Drawing general conclusions from
particular examples or message from the
provided text;
– Comparison: Noticing the differences and
similarities between different things, facts and
events;
– Description: Describing a scene, a shape, or size
of an object, etc. Trainees are encouraged to
describe, summarize, and abstract the original to
a large extent in their own words in exercises (2)

Tips for training short term
memory
• Mnemonic to Memory.
• Mnemonic is a device, such as a formula
or rhyme, used as an aid in remembering.
Mnemonics are methods for remembering
information that is otherwise quite difficult
to recall

interpreting.
• The basic principles have been mastered:
correct listening, the ability of expressing ideas
clearly
• It needs more preparation of the special subjects
• It needs good reaction time

Conclusion
• Memorizing could be trained.
• In practising memorizing we could use –
categorization, generalization,
comparison, description
• Another tip of practising memorizing is by
using mnemonic to memory
• Simultaneous interpreting needs more
preparation
