core核心畫面

Picture items in a row with nothing slipped in between them — Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and no day skipped. The word is about the gaps, not the number: three consecutive wins means three in a row with no loss in the middle.

可以想成:一排東西中間沒有插進別的——週一、週二、週三,一天都沒跳過。這個字管的是「中間有沒有斷」,不是「有幾個」:three consecutive wins 的重點不在三場,而在三場之間沒有夾著一場輸。

    Consecutive interpretation.

    • Having an audience would have allowed a more natural setting for the consecutive. The choice of individual sessions was dictated by the following considerations: (i) given that the recordings were made on an itinerant basis (sometimes at subjects' homes), it would have proved practically impossible to arrange an audience for every session; (ii) recruiting an audience for the consecutives recorded at university would have limited the pool of potential subjects without prior knowledge of the speeches; (iii) it would have been inconsistent to record some interpretations before an audience and others in individual sessions.
