Note to recorder:

When you find some mistakes or questions, please let me know before you make a recording.

Translator

The translator must have an excellent, up-to-date knowledge of his mother tongue, and a knowledge and undersanding of the latest subject-matter in his fileds of specialization. This is his professional equipment.
In addition to this, is is desirable that he should have an inquiring mind, wide interests, a good memory, and the ability to quickly grasp the basic principles of new developments. He should be able to type quickly and accurately. He should be willing to work but be humble enough to consult others if his own knowledge is not adequate for the task at hand.
Strictly speaking, it is unnecessary that he should be able to speak the languages he is dealing with. If he does speak them, it is an advantage, but this skill is in many ways a luxury. There are many other skills and qualities that are desirable in a translator.

一応、「HE」の使い方は適切ではありませんが書いてあるまま音読させてもらいました。^^

男女平等にするためにhe and sheなどと使うのが一般的なんでしょうか?(本から直接写しただけなのでheのみで書きました)

そうなんです。「he or she 」の他に「the translator」を繰り返しに使うことも可能です。ですがベストはその二つの文句を交合に使うことです。
たとえば、「...it is unnecessary that the translator should be able to speak the languages that he or she is dealing with. If the translator does speak them, it is an advantage,...」

(古い本か英語教科書からの写しだと言う感じがしましたので、とりあえず指摘したらそのままにしました。^^)
