There is an assumption that everyone with foreign language competence can interpret, yet some of the existing training programs result in professional interpreting services that are not satisfactory. The current study aims to explore the professional attributes of a qualified interpreter by analyzing five experienced Chinese interpreters’ interview transcripts which were published online. Thirteen important attributes of an intepreter have been identified from these data. To examine these attributes, another three semi-structured interviews were carried out with three professors at higher education institutions. It was found that such professional attributes as good psychological quality, productive listening comprehension, culture-awareness, and effective transfer of non-verbal communication were more important and they were discussed in detail in the paper. The implications of the research have also been expounded.
