After the closing of The People鈥檚 Congress, Premier Wen Jiabao鈥檚 press conference became the focus of Chinese and foreign media attention. Premier Wen attracted Chinese and foreign journalists with his wisdom, wide information and rhetorical replies. Meanwhile, Zhang Lu, a pretty interpreter sitting near Premier Wen, was hyped up by billions of netizens as she fluently translated ancient poems quoted by Premier Wen. Journalists discovered from websites that Zhang Lu first received the news of Liu Xiang鈥檚 7th at the World Championships.

鈥淚 think her translating is very nice and is up to a national level.鈥?expressed Luo Lisheng, director of the Foreign Language Department in Tsinghua University. From a professional perspective, translation of the entire conference was very fluent. Some words in politics are translated properly. The classical poetries quoted by Premier Wen are usually translated into general meanings because the cultural background of Chinese and English is different while the profound meanings are hard to reflect. However, the poems were translated well in general.
