恐怕不行。
在工作上，专业能力是一个方面，跑业务的能力却更为重要。我接触过的陪客户来欧洲考察、谈判的翻译全是男的，他们不仅要在谈判的时候作翻译，还要替客户订酒店，租车，安排行程，处理杂事。有次客户临时决定要去布拉格，已经是晚上9点多了，那位翻译兼司机二话没说就带他们去了。女的在这方面要差很多，光是开车认路这一项，恐怕90%以上的女同志都不合格。
我说的是口译。

每次洽谈口译任务，我首先考虑的是交通方不方便，要不要夜间开车，去的地方安不安全。如果这几点不合适的话坚决推掉，口译的内容和价格反而很次要。
下星期要去捷克，又听说最近捷克的高速公路上有人打劫，发愁中。

大学毕业的时候很多单位都不愿意要女生，甚至连高校这样最适合妇女同志的单位也不例外。聊天的时候某大学外语系的系领导告诉我，系里女同志太多，搬个家都成问题，几名女同志连张桌子都弄不走……

岂不知国内现在要是有出国的项目找翻译非要找年轻漂亮的姑娘？
还有一个更搞笑的，温州那边找俄语翻译，找了个学生，便宜呀，结果带着字典都没用。专业方面的东西一点不会。
不是说会哪种语言，这个人就能做翻译的。
大家在一起吹吹牛聊聊天，那没问题。

我刚才在另外一个帖子下说了，中国的翻译（包括口译）市场一点不成熟，绝大部分的译者不合格，绝大部分的客户也不找专业翻译，宁可一搭两用。人家还没意识到专业中有一个专字，要专业水平服务，需要专门做这个事情的人。
这个需要时间，急也没用。

客户找口译除了水平外，对翻译本身的要求也是有的。其中，我接触到的客户中，来自日本的客户多数喜欢漂亮的女译员。说到安全问题，女译员有些也挺麻烦的。
有一次，一位朋友找到我说他的一个意大利朋友需要半天的口译。我找到IVECO的意大利语女翻译。其他最什么，因为她当时上班的地方离客户的地点有2小时车程， 所以她提出一个安全方面的要求，必须要我本人全程“配译”。不然，就让客户带上那位意大利客人去她家楼下的茶楼。。我听了当时有些发晕，因为正忙手上的急事儿呢！最后，好说歹说。我为他们找了一间朋友开的茶楼，才算了结这事。后来，再不敢轻易答应找女翻译的事儿。。呵～

要我绝不肯把客户带到自家楼下。万一那客户不是好人，岂不很容易就能找到她家？

呵～其实，一天的翻译口译任务一般没有什么顾忌的，因为口译的场合一般都比较公开化。有时去遇到客户需要口译人员一同去一个地方，需要几天的时间。这样，女译员会有些考虑也是可以理解的。

So the interpreter is like a language expert + PM + Nanny + chauffeur + tour guide all in one? Wow, what a sweet deal for the client. I hope they are paying him enough. So far the only interpreter I know here in Canada are court interpreters; none of the tasks mentioned above are involved. As a matter of fact, the provincial payment rates they have for interpreters is pathetically low that most interpreters would probably work in the capacity mentioned above so to make a living. So on that basis, the majority of court interpreters ARE women, given the fact that they can freelance and work on call, which I guess works out as some of these women could be homemakers as well.

这类英文看着溜，有些老外（native）的英文不咋好，有些native很好。

就是路上不太放心。
如果到火车站是夜里十一二点，连打的都发憷。

按照巴伐利亚州的法律，法庭翻译的价格是每小时55欧，还可以。但是法庭为了管理方便，单子都给译社，翻译拿到手的就少多了，俄语翻译有的一小时才给10个欧。

从译社来的任务肯定少得多，但象俄语翻译这样一小时10欧是不是和国情有关？还是男女有别？
