中高级口译实战之笔记要点如果完全依赖记忆，又没有异常的天赋，即使精力充沛的年青人，也不能胜任高级口译对精确度和耐久力的要求。

实际例子，我在工作中多次碰到过。

高级口译员没有不靠笔记的。

但是，高级口译使用的笔记与一般的概念，风马牛不相及。

请注意，每个人的记忆，思维，和反应都有各自的特点。

没有必要全部照搬我的方法。

最好用的笔记方式是你自己发展出来的，适合自己的系统。

我的介绍是为了给你开个头，起个指点方向，打开思路的作用。

比如，笔记越简单，记录就越迅速。

但笔记简单了，对短期记忆的要求就相对提高了。

所以，笔记多少为最佳，因人而易，需要摸索出适合于自己的平衡。

要点是：1. 少写多划。

划线条比写文字快。

线条形象，相当于翻译的"半成品"，有助译员眼看笔记，口出译文。

两种情况下应该尽量用线条：表示动作和动态的词句。

比如，以上升的斜线代表"发展"，"增加"，"进步","进一步";以下降的斜线代表"减少"，"下降"，"恶化"等等。

· 表示因果或前后关系的词句。

比如，用一条线代表"因为/所以"，"…之后"，"在…之前"，以体现出上下前后之间的关联关系。

2. 少字多意。

养成一个词的笔记不超过一个字的习惯。

中文里有大量的词汇是由两个，或两个以上的字组成。

只要看到其中一个，你的短期记忆就应该能够补齐其余的字。

不必多写。

比如，"中国"最多写个"中"。

"北京"最多写个"北"。

英文词也同理处理。

"politics"最多写"poli"，"government"最多写"gov"，等等。
