Points to Remember

Interpreters favor tactics that maximize information recovery, minimize recovery interference, maximize communication effect, reduce effort, and protect themselves.

Fuzzy interpretation help reduce information loss and interpreters’ memory load, ensuring a relatively accurate, smooth and timely rendition.

Fuzzy interpretation reduces the information recovery interference and helps realize the overall communication effect.

Fuzzy interpretation follows the law of least effort and protects interpreters themselves.
