Knowledge Gained : Interpretation not just about direct translation but an interpreter meeds to understand the context and adapt it into something that’s suitable and make sense with the original meaning or context.

I do gain more insight on IT theories in a sense where I know what it is, why it is important and how to use it

Knowledge that I gained is actually seeing how interpreting text from human and AI lens are perceived. Like how humans can interpret a word like "Eh?" with varied expression in their head when reading the text (This happens when I read some manhwa during my past times), while AI Model explains "Eh?" by reading through the full text and "interpret" them by concluding the expression and meaning behind that simple word. We, as humans when it comes to interpret a text, might had to wait for the next page to actually interpret a text, while AI used the information from the given text to interpret it based on their theoretical engine that was given by them. It's basically Humans' element of surprise vs AI textual adaptability in terms of Interpretive Theory.

What I Now Get About Interpretive Theory:
Before this, IT seemed like just another translation method to memorize. But digging deeper showed me it's really about helping people actually understand each other. The "bun and raisins" thing finally clicked. It’s not about translating word for word, but making sure the real meaning comes through in a way that makes sense to the listener. That's way more useful than I originally thought.

I discovered that the Interpretive Theory prioritizes communicating a message's actual meaning, or sense, over merely translating words. The three-step process of comprehension, deverbalization, and reformulation helps guarantee that the audience understands the content correctly.

The knowledge I gained from this is about IT focus on "sense" rather than word-for-word translation. Interpreters are trained to understand the speaker’s intended meaning, discard the exact words (deverbalize), and then reformulate the message in a way that makes sense for the target audience. This shows that interpreting is more about communication than language matching.

What I learned:
Interpretive Theory is about sharing the meaning of what someone says, not just translating words. It uses three steps: understanding, letting go of the exact words, and rephrasing the message clearly in the new language.

The way information is presented really affects understanding.
When I compared the two versions, mine and ChatGPT, I realized how the same ideas can be made clearer or more confusing depending on how they’re explained. Using everyday words and relatable examples can help students understand complex theories without needing to study them deeply at first.

One knowledge I gained about Interpretive Theory (IT):

The idea of “deverbalization” is key in interpreting.
IT teaches that once an interpreter understands the sense of what is said, they mentally let go of the original words and focus on rephrasing the meaning naturally in the target language. This helps avoid awkward or direct word-for-word translations and makes communication smoother for the audience.

One knowledge gained about IT:
I learned that IT is about sharing the main message, not just translating word by word. It also looks at tone, background, and culture to help the listener understand better.

-By comparing human and AI-generated analysis, I realized how different forms of explanation can complement each other.

ONE knowledge you gained about IT after doing the analysis:

-Interpreters must go beyond language to fully communicate meaning, often reshaping the message to suit the listener’s cultural and cognitive framework.

One knowledge that I gained about IT is that it focuses on the "sense" and "meanings" of the speaker, not only translating everything word for word mindlessly without context.

I learned that IT theory is not just about translating its about understanding and expressing the original context meaning in a way that our target audience can understand which made sense.

What I gain:

I realized from this theory that translating isnt simply translating the words words by words we need to understand the context to made sure our translation made sense to other people.

2) The knowledge about IT that I learned was how interpreting isn't just about translating word by word, it includes subtle knowledge as well to deliver main messages for audience to understand better.

To me Interpreting isn't just about translating words, but Interpreting needs varies knowledges such as cultural awareness, emotion awareness, and so on to actually deliver the meaning of the message to the target audience.

I also gained a clear understanding of the three core steps of Interpretive Theory which is comprehension,

deverbalization and reformulation.
