Reviews

Eva Hung's volume is appealing in the wide range of translator and interpreter training issues it touches upon. [...] I believe that the key value of the book is the way it reflects the diversity involved in teaching translation and interpreting by providing a panorama of up-to-date examples. -- Sebnem Susam-Sarajeva, University of Edinburgh, UK, in Perspectives: Studies in Translatology Vol. 12:1 (2004)
