Base Claim:
1. A speech translation system comprising: a first speech apparatus including a first speech input device that captures at least a speech of a first language, and a first speech output device that outputs another speech of the first language; a second speech apparatus including a second speech input device that captures at least a speech of a second language, and a second speech output device that outputs another speech of the second language; and a speech recognition/translation server that performs speech translation between the first speech apparatus and the second speech apparatus; wherein the server comprises a first speech recognition device that receives a first utterance speech of the first language from the first speech input device, and recognizes the first utterance speech; a first machine translation device that consecutively translates the first language of the recognition result into the second language without waiting completion of the first utterance speech; a first speech synthesis device that generates a second speech of the translation result; and a first output adjustment device that outputs the first utterance speech and the second speech to the second speech output device by adjusting a volume of the first utterance speech to be smaller than a volume of the second speech.

Claim 2:
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the server further comprises a second speech recognition device that receives a second utterance speech of the second language from the second speech input device, and recognizes the second utterance speech; a second machine translation device that consecutively translates the second language of the recognition result into the first language without waiting completion of the second utterance speech; a second speech synthesis device that generates a first speech of the translation result; and a second output adjustment device that outputs the second utterance speech and the first speech to the first speech output device by adjusting a volume of the second utterance speech to be smaller than a volume of the first speech.
