Is it appropriate to divide sentences into phrase units when converting languages? This

article argues this question basing on data of a Japanese-to-Chinese simultaneous

interpreting corpus made by the author, through analyzing from grammatical difference of

these two languages and time limit of simultaneous interpreting. At first, the author compares

grammatical constructions between Japanese and Chinese by using data from the corpus, and

analyzes the impact of word order difference on comprehension and production of

simultaneous interpreting. Next, basing on the same corpus, the author analyzes why

interpreters are impossible to wait for a whole sentence when working under time limit in

cases of simultaneous interpreting, and argues that it is reasonable to divide sentences into

phrase units when converting languages. The author concludes that interpreters should

divide sentences into phrase units as to comprehend the source language.
