D'ailleurs, les traducteurs qui se prennent pour interprètes de conférence et qui enseignent ont tous tendance à faire une fixation sur le décalage, qui n'est pas toujours un simple retard, un déphasage de morceau restant solidaires. Il convient bien souvent d'exploiter les bribes d'information que la structure originale livre comme à regret, ce qui aboutit à un profond réaménagement des circonstancielles ou des relatives, par exemple. D'autres structures encore invitent l'interprète à anticiper sur les segments de la chaîne parlée afin de faire passer intelligemment le sens et l'effet de l'autre langue. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9calage
