On March2, at a press conference(记者发布会), interpreter((翻译) Yao Mengyao caught the attention of many people with her quick reaction and correct translation.

Like Yao, Zhang Lu is an interpreter for Chinas top leaders, including Premier(总理)Li Keqiang and former premier Wen Jiabao. Nine years ago, her wonderful translations of ancient poems cited(引用) by Premier Wen won praise.

At the press conference during the two sessions(两会)of 2010, Wen cited a sentence from the poem Li Sao to show his determination(决心) to deal with the problems in the governments work. With amazing skills, Zhang Interpreted the sentence quite accurately(精准地).

So how do interpreters reach their top positions?

The reason for their success is largely hard work. Besides when they go out on visits with Chinese leaders. the interpreters follow a very strict timetable. Every day they trained themselves by listening to foreign media such as BBC, VOA or CNN through TV or radio.

A month before the two sessions, the interpreters get notice of the spokespersons they are going to translate for. They then make full use of this month to get everything ready. They try to predict(预测) the questions that might be asked and think about the words and phrases the spokespersons might use when they answer the questions.

In truth, there is no secret to their success. It's all a matter of skill and hard work.
