翻譯開支貴在器材

(Update: According to my friend who worked at the debate, it should be 2 hours, so it's HK$1,850/hour/interpreter) 


【明報專訊】用咗40萬籌辦嘅選委特首選舉論壇仲未回本,Emily噚日講起佢哋當晚總共用咗兩萬蚊請傳譯,有份籌募論壇嘅泛民資訊科技界選委莫乃光就澄清,筆數唔係Emily諗得咁誇張。佢話,兩名傳譯員嘅人工總數其實只係7400蚊,但另外就花咗近9000蚊購入50對耳機同其他器材。佢話籌委會絕對有需要聘請即時傳譯員,令一啲聽唔明廣東話嘅選委同中外傳媒都可參與其中,而兩萬蚊亦係聘請人做即時傳譯及配套嘅市價。


HK$7,400 for two interpreters, I wonder it's for how many hours?
