  17. Points to Remember • Decoding is the first step in interpreting. • Both CI and SI require not ordinary listening but active listening. • Interpreters listen to meaning instead of words, they listen for both content and attitude, and they listen with ears, eyes, heart. • To improve the efficiency of active listening, interpreters are supposed to sit or stand comfortably upright; observe the speaker’s body language; and try to visualize the words.
