第一篇是巴西主辦2014世界杯足球賽和2016里約奧運所衍生的問題，
首先來看關鍵字。
The first video is about problems triggered by Brazil as the host country of 2014 FIFA and 2016 Olympic game. Here are some keywords.
Sao Paolo巴西大城聖保羅
Proto Alegre 阿雷格里港：巴西南部最大的城市之一
Confederations Cup世界杯足球賽
Dress rehearsal總彩
Perk額外的津貼
Hit the headline登上頭條吸引注意
Media savvy精明的媒體
我覺得本來就對巴西這個國家有所認識對對翻譯本篇很有幫助。舉例來說，巴西曾經為了平衡區域發展而遷都到巴西利亞，還有巴西的知名大城市里約熱內盧和聖保羅，另外，巴西政府因為要舉辦世界杯足球賽和奧運而在公共建設投入大量資金，但因此擠壓其他國家預算、並提高規費讓民眾平衡負擔......等等措施指巴西人民感到不滿，並起身抗議，發起拒看奧運和足球賽的行動。
這篇在歐盟口譯網站的分類是高級，所以速度稍微快一點，加上數字多金額大，如果是逐步口譯比較好掌握。但他同時又有很多shopping list，同步口譯較不容易漏掉，大概是這樣。
I reckon it helps interpreters to do SI if they have pre-knowledge of Brazil. To take and example, the Brazilian government moved the capital city from Rio to Brisilia to develop the central area of the country. Also, two famous cities Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paula are important as well. Besides, the fact that the Brazilian government invests a large amount of money to held the 2014 FIFA and 2016 Olympic game triggers the protest of Brazilian people since it edges out others budgets including health, education and social service. To make matters worse, people have to pay the bill for the government. As a result, protesters ask people do not go to watch FIFA and Olympic games in the future.
This video is classified in the advanced part in European speech repository website. Therefore, the rapid speed and the numbers appear in the context make the using of CI be easier than the using of SI. However, sine the shopping list is included in the video, SI could guarantee interpreters catching details.

第二篇是時區，一樣先看關鍵字。
London times 倫敦標準時間
near miss 近似誤差
Hugo Chavez 烏戈查維茲（委內瑞拉左派政治人物）
這篇講的是時區的歷史發展，內容比較簡單，所以被分在中級。英國國內以前有兩個時區，美國和中國各有五個，因為一開始人們都是用太陽在頭頂上方這個事實作為正中午的標準。（但我覺得很怪，那高緯度地區的冬天怎麼辦？）可是因為大共運輸交通日益便捷，人們旅行的時間變長，跨越時區也變得更加容易，為了方便，各國決定自定，比方說英國全國改為和倫敦時間同步，中國只有一個時區，美國兩個...等等。有趣的是委內瑞拉前總統下令全國時間往後十五分鐘，理由是他們不想和美國過一樣時間。
（很想講點什麼來諷刺一下這位總統跟台灣政治人物，但還是算了）
This video is about the historical process of time zones. It is not very difficult, so it is classified in the intermediate level of European speech repository. In England, there were two time zones, and there were five in both the US and China. This was because people tended to definite noons based on the fact that the sun is above the head (but I suspect how people maintain to do this during the winter in such a high latitude area). Nevertheless, due to the rapid development of mess transportation system; people would have more opportunities to travel for a long distance, and entering different time zones was much easier. As a result, Britain decided to use London time as the standard time, and the US only had two time zones, and China one. An interesting thing is that the ex-president in Venezuela required the country to be back for 15 minutes, since he did not want to be in the same time zone with the US.
