This article examines the issues of equivalence in simultaneous interpretation and analyzes the linguistic and cognitive factors that influence the process of achieving equivalence between the source and target languages. Special attention is given to the difficulties interpreters face when conveying meaning, intention, and stylistic features of the original speech under time pressure. The study also discusses the role of translation strategies and transformations used by interpreters to maintain semantic and pragmatic equivalence. The research highlights that equivalence in simultaneous interpretation is not always absolute and often requires flexible decision-making and adaptation to communicative context. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of equivalence in real-time interpreting practice.
