Yes, an oral interpretation... but probably not on the kind of grand
scale you are thinking of. 
I think that we all do oral interpretations in our own native languages
whenever we read something out loud to others.  We may not be orators,
but we usually do a good enough job of it to communicate intellegently
to others. I am not looking for a Greek counterpart to the Alexander
Scourby rendition of the KJV.  But I think that we probably do have a
fair number of people here on B-Greek who are capable of reading
segments of the NT out loud with at least a bit of fluency.  Yes, it
would take some work (it would for me anyway). But anything that is
worthwhile usually does.
