Key note speaker
• It is a great honor to be asked to make the
keynote speech this evening. It is a great
honor and a tremendous responsibility., I
realized,, when I began planning this talk,
that what I said would set the tone for what
follows. And I also realized that, essentially,
only two sets of themes were available to
me: debt and despair, or change and hope. I
figure that none of us needs me to confirm
what we all know; our town is cash poor, and
a whole lot of it – streets, sewers, parks, and
schools – is simply falling apart.

Key note speaker
• We already know that. What we hope to
do in the course of the meetings that
follow is not to wallow in the debt and
despair, but discover the hope and the
change. Ladies and gentlemen, that will be
the theme of my remarks this evening, and
it is my wish that the spirit of hope and
change will motivate our discussions
during the next several days.

Conclusion
• Interpreting in a conference or seminar is
not easy and requires skills and practice
• The interpreter should try to find out the
situation of the conference
