??????? 影子練習（shadow-exercise），即跟讀訓練。這種方法就是用同一種語言幾乎同步地跟讀原語發言人的講話，它可以訓練聽說同步技巧和注意力的分配。剛開始訓練時可以和原語同步開始，待操練了一陣子后，可以遲于原語片刻至一句話的時間跟讀。跟讀時耳朵、嘴巴和大腦要一起派上用場，耳朵聽、嘴巴說、腦子記。這是需要精神非常集中的一種練習，也是提高語速、提高理解速度、修改語音語調的最好方法。在高語速條件下，邊跟讀邊完全理解語義是有相當難度的，但這種訓練能為口譯打下扎實的基礎。各種新聞、談話節目、研討會、音樂體育節目、演講等都是上好材料。

???????另外還可增加一些“干擾性”練習，譬如一邊聽、一邊寫些不相關的內容，如數字、人名等，分散使用注意力，那樣效果會更好。

???????A military band serenaded the President and Mrs. Bush moments after Air force One touched down Wednesday night at a military base outside Londeon. Mr. Bush headed for the home of the US Ambassador to Britain for some sleep before a long day of ceremony and substance. There will be a luncheon meeting with Queen Elizabeth and a bit of sightseeing in London, before Mr. Bush leaves the confines of the city to meet with Tony Blair. A spokesman for the prime Minister says their discussions will touch on two issues that have divided America and its European allies: Mr. Bush's rejection of the Kyoto agreement on global warming and his plan to develop a missile defense system. These are issues that are also expected to come to the fore later in the week when President Bush takes part in a summit of the world's leading industrialized nations, plus Russia. The item at the top of the official agenda for the meeting in Genoa, ltaly is the search for ways to help promote development in the world's poorest countries.

???????這是一段速度較快的VOA原聲錄音。一般可以有三種訓練方法：1. 單純做跟讀訓練，看看能不能完全跟下來；2. 在做跟讀訓練的同時寫數字，比如從100寫起，99、98、97……這樣倒退著寫，培養多項任務同時處理的能力；3. 在完成跟讀和干擾性訓練之后，馬上用原語概述所聽到的原聲錄音的內容。口譯者一開始可能覺得無法適應，但是久而久之，普遍感到受益匪淺。
