My two NT$. I've been in this situation a lot; my wife is Chinese. I usually get my wife, or sometimes one of the other people in the group to keep me filled in. It's harder for a lot of people who weren't born here to speak for hours in English. They often don't speak English at home, so in a casual setting, that is more natural for them. A person who feels left out needs to establish ground rules with someone in attendance to do regular translations for him/her.
