Presenter: What do you think a good interpreter must be like? 

Liza: I’d say that truly successful interpreters never editorialise. You must resign yourself to expressing only what the speaker is saying. You can learn a lot as an interpreter by being a fly on the wall through whom the whole conversation flows. However, you need to keep your own thoughts silent, acting only as a voice for others. Even if you strongly disagree with what’s being said, your job is to render it accurately, without commentary. And it’s not just the words you say. You’ll need to control your facial expressions as well, so that you don’t colour the speaker’s meaning in any way. And it goes without saying that the conversations you interpret must remain confidential.
