  this world what they desire most for their

  language would likely be the same We want
  peace,we want freedom and we want a better life.

  colleagues and the Ally prosecution team,
  solemnly request the honorable judges of the

  horrible war of aggression, in the name of
  justice, in the spirit of compassion, and in the

  speeches can be summed up
• It is commonly accomplished by the use of
  distinct theme, strong argumentation, deep
  rationalization, accurate symbolisms, and
  presenting supportive information. The speaker

• According to the language characteristics of
  persuasive speeches, on interpreting the
  persuasive speeches on site, the interpreters
  should pay attention to two points
• Techniques for handling Co-textual factors.
• ? Interpreting should conform to the specific
  context in order to make the audience fully
  understand speakers stand and realize the
  complete communication between the speaker and
  the audience.
• - Catching the speakers inner-mind changes,
  including feeling, attitudes, statements and
  stands through the SL conveyed.
• - Attempting to express all the inner most
  senses of the information delivered by the
  speaker.
• ? Interpreting should be based on fully
  understanding of the context, and holding
  correctly the sense of SL to handle the TL
  expression. In this process, various interpreting
  ways could be adopted literal translation, free
  translation, L F translation, Literal
  translation paraphrasing, etc. (??????)

• Ladies and gentleman,
• Honorable judges and members of the court
• All of the accused joined in the formulation and
  execution of a plan, a conspiracy, whose purpose
  was to establish Japan's military, political, and
  economic control over the countries within the
  Pacific and Indian Oceans. In order to achieve
  this goal, Japan alone, or working with other
  countries of like mind, embarked on a war of
  aggression to subjugate all who stood in their
  way.
• My prosecution team and I have produced more than
  enough evidence to approve the participation of
  the accused in his criminal actions. Throughout
  the history of civilization, no one has ever seen
  human nature at such a peak of cruelty and
  barbarity. Countless people have died horrendous,
  unthinkable death to feed Japan's insatiable
  appetite for expansion.
• By their actions, they have challenged human
  civilization, they have challenged peace, and
  they have challenged the whole world. Their
  common objective, a criminal objective, was to
  ensure the domination of Japan's empire. There is
  no greater crime than plotting and executing a
  war of aggression. The security of the world and
  its people was threaten by this plot, and
  destroyed by this war, the only possible outcome,
  which is the great suffering the world has faced.
  
• Therefore, I, Joseph Keenan, on behalf of my
  colleagues of the Ally
• prosecution team, solemnly request the honorable
  judges of the International Military Tribunal for
  the Fareast to severely punish those responsible
  for this horrible war of aggression, in the name
  of justice, in the spirit of compassion, and in
  the name of humanity.
