must stand up to three tests of
How do they become leaders' translations? A staff member of the foreign ministry translation room told the media that to enter the Ministry of foreign affairs as an excellent senior translation, it must stand up to three tests: strict screening, crazy practice, and careful preparation.
choose translators to undergo rigorous initial and reexamination: the first test is generally ranked by the civil service examination, or the written examination is conducted in a professional college. The so-called "observation training" is essentially "elimination training". First of all, intensive training is carried out by a number of predecessors in the translation room to do a lot of listening, interpreting and translation exercises with students every day. The intensity of training is very great, and the timeliness of teaching materials used is very strong. Basically, they are all news and commentary on the day, or recent hot topics. The Ministry of foreign affairs will also invite some experts to teach, while observing the students' basic skills in foreign languages, translation potential, comprehension, language expression habits, sound state, hard spirit, physical and psychological quality, and organizational discipline under the pressure of high intensity work. Less than 4% of the lucky winners can be recruited eventually.

In terms of business, they can be translated into two sessions. They must have a complete, accurate, fluent and understandable translation level. A good memory is worse than a bad pen. Try to write down the questions so as to ensure the accuracy of the translation.
Ren Xiaoping, deputy director of the translation room of the Foreign Ministry of the Ministry of foreign affairs, said that the translators must have strong psychological qualities, both with confidence and a common heart. We must concentrate all our energies and not allow half of our vanity to make trouble. Otherwise, we will be in a mess if we encounter difficulties and problems. In Zhang Lu's opinion, when leaders are translated, first of all, they need to have high political sensitivity. "In translation, we must keep fidelity to the original and translate it faithfully." When a good translator understands the intention of the leader, he can translate it skillfully in the context of that time. The translation of leaders of
is really a famous activity, but it needs to be repaired and practiced. Some experts even think that "half of a hundred miles", no matter how much fun it is, the hard work is still the thing that the senior translations will continue to do. In addition, as a translator, first of all, in shaping the image, we must be particularly attentively, not only generous, but also unable to win the competition. Especially in the solemn occasion such as the press conference of the two sessions, the image should not be too sharp. It is best to be simple and understated and generous.
