Have you ever wondered what it is like to be an interpreter at the heart of international politics and business? This book won't tell you that but it will make you laugh at the rarely described world of interpreting. Do you wonder what a "source text" is? Would you like to know what interpreters really learn while training? This book is for you. Feel free to use it to learn more about interpreting, laugh at the foibles of humanity or just to give people a reason to look at you weirdly on public transport.
