Interpretation --- Thank you Sepideh for your question. I have never been an interpreter but I worked with interpreters. I think your point should be addressed to consecutive interpretation, and not simultaneous interpretation (during which it is almost impossible for the interpreter to match the emotions as well as the translation at the same time, due to the complexity of the task). In consecutive interpretation, it might be useful to carry some emotions, but I would be very careful with that, as emotions can be easily misinterpreted.
