会议口译指南
While the sound engineers are experts in their field, they may have little or no experience of the needs of interpreters. You may find, when you turn up at a studio for the first time, that you are expected to work from a little `out-of`-`the-way` cubby hole, with no direct view of the speaker (but a TV monitor instead); heavy stereo headsets and no volume control.

Sometimes an interpreter will downgrade a B to a C as languages can lose their cutting edge from disuse or prolonged absence from that language community. Rarely used Cs can also be dropped to avoid disasters.
If you do not live in a country where your A language is spoken, make every effort to keep abreast of linguistic, cultural political and social developments.
