As one of the symbolic occupation of the era of economic globalization, the appearance of conference interpretation was much earlier than others in history, which is enough to illustrate the significance of its existence. Interpretation has a profound artistic background, and all interpreters regards their translation as a work of art. The Effort Models (EMs) was proposed by Daniel Gile, an excellent professor regarding interpretation. The model is able to reasonably allocate the energy consumed in each part of the interpretation, and can also help interpreters find their own shortcomings and adjust and then correct them. The EMs and the principle of syntactic linearity help the interpreter avoid errors that occurred in interpreting.
