A booth duo. 100% team play/0% ballast—reality or fantasy?
Preview
My presentation at 2nd Belarusian Translators' Forum is entitled A booth duo. 100% team play/0% ballast—reality or fantasy? This kind of ‘topic choice’ might come weird to those familiar with my first talk on May 19, 2018. 
Nonetheless, I am [once again] revisiting the ‘pair skating’—only this time I will focus on interaction, or more specifically, mutual assistance of the sim/int team in the booth, comparing ‘what we [mostly] observe’ vs ‘the way it should be’ and also briefly touching the points left unvoiced from the previous time.
Speaker's brief
