While as the essential language bridge, interpreting activities have made a great contribution to the international communication. There are various kinds of interpreting, and one of the most widely involved and commonly used is liaison interpreting. It contains many aspects of daily reception. With the wide range of subjects, flexibility in form and unpredictability of translation situation, liaison interpreting has a relatively strict requirement for interpreters both in cultural quality and random response capability. This paper is an interpreting practice report based on author’s experience during the China tour of Youth Singers of Calgary from Canada in 2015. By analyzing the interpreting problems occurred during different interpreting situations, the paper aims to explore the corresponding interpretation strategies and solutions.There are four chapters in this report.
