覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
interpret「通訳する」に -ing をそのまま付けた形で、語末の子音は重ねない。末尾は /ɪŋ/ と発音する。会議や観光案内で話し手と聞き手の間に立ち、話された意味を別の言語へ即時に渡す場面を描く。「interpret for 人」「simultaneous interpreting」を覚え、文書中心の translating と区別する。
Interpreting is formed by adding -ing directly to interpret; no consonant is doubled or removed, and the ending is pronounced /ɪŋ/. For this sense, picture an interpreter standing between speakers and transferring a spoken or signed message into another language. Useful patterns include interpret for a visitor, interpreting at a conference, simultaneous interpreting, and consecutive interpreting. Keep it distinct from translating, which commonly refers to written texts, although everyday usage sometimes overlaps. Depending on the sentence, interpreting can name the activity as a gerund or form part of a continuous verb phrase such as has been interpreting.

interpreting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
interpreting は interpret＋-ing。interpret はラテン語 interpretari（説明する・通訳する）と interpres（仲介者・通訳）にさかのぼり、言葉の間に立って意味を渡す感覚です。関連語は interpretation, interpreter。
Interpreting is the -ing form of interpret. Interpret came into English through Old French and Latin interpretari, meaning “to explain, understand, or translate,” related to Latin interpres, an intermediary or interpreter. The precise internal formation of interpres is uncertain, so it is safest to retain the established idea of explanation and mediation. In modern language work, interpreting usually concerns spoken or signed communication.
