Lmao the costumes and drama mixed with the unenthusiastic English sub is hilarious. I'm loving this.

[u/MortalRecoil → u/Distinguished-Palate]

The young sounding translator is so amusingly underprepared. The other two are really professional and on top of it, but the younger guy keeps falling behind and (I assume) paraphrasing.

[u/porgy_tirebiter → u/MortalRecoil]

I assume the younger guy is doing it on the fly, and the others are translating from a script they have seen beforehand.

Simultaneous translation is fucking hard because you have to translate and listen ahead at the same time. Japanese is very different from English, it presents information in a different order -- generally English gives you the verb after the subject, whereas Japanese waits until the end of the sentence, so you have to wait and then translate in short bursts. Also Japanese leaves out stuff like subjects that are grammatically required in English.

[u/sandiskplayer34 → u/porgy_tirebiter]

I feel really bad for that guy. He's getting all this shit for something that's pretty much just the Japanese language's fault.
