Wonder If It's Ever Been Done
"We will bury you." As if the Commies would take a very active part in that process instead of a passive one." blog troll comment
I wonder if anyone has ever done an experiment where a person, listening to a long speech in their own language through headphones with a mouthpiece, has been required to paraphrase it in their own language simultaneously.
Now, wouldn't that make an interesting experiment. Imagine how much harder simultaneous translation into a second language or from a second language is.
Simultaneous translation is dangerous.
