Review materials on Interpretation of Business English - Chinese by Tian Xiaoqing (2009)2007级专科商务英语口译课复习资料教师：田晓晴Part One Interpreting Theories1.1 Definition of Interpreting: 定义：口译是一种通过口头表达形式，将所感知和理解的信息，准确而快速地由一种语言形式转换成另一种语言形式，达到完整和流利地传递、交流信息之目的的交际行为，是现代社会跨文化交际的基本沟通形式。（梅德明）1.3 Types of interpreting (I)1.3.1 According to its working form: Alternating, Consecutive, Simultaneous, Whispering interpretation and Sight or on sight interpretation. Alternating interpretation（交替口译）即译员同时以两种语言为操不同语言的交际双方进行轮回交替口译。这种口译应用场合非常广。 Consecutive interpretation（接续/逐步口译）接续/逐步口译是会议口译使用最早的工作模式，如今主要用于会见会谈、新闻发布等范围小、时间短、语种少的场合。 Simultaneous interpretation（同声传译）口译员组成小组，在配有专门同声传译设备的隔音同传间（俗称“箱子”）里工作。口译员一面通过耳机收听源语发言人连续不断的讲话，一面几乎同步地对着话筒把讲话人所表达的全部意思准确、完整地传译成目的语。与会代表在各自的接收器上选择所需的语言频道，从耳机中收听。同声传译是当今会议口译使用最多的工作模式。 Whispering interpretation（耳语翻译）耳语口译，也称“咬耳朵”翻译。就是将一方的讲话内容用耳语方式轻轻传译给另一方。耳语翻译一般需要译员对原讲话有高度的压缩与概括，而且声音不能太大，以免影响到附近的人。 Sight/on sight interpretation （视阅翻译/视译）视阅翻译/视译是指译员拿着讲话人的发言稿，边听发言、边看原稿、边进行口译。1.3 Types of interpreting (II)According to its task, it can be classified into: Conference Interpreting(会议口译)会议口译员以同声传译和交替传译两种口译模式工作，为国际组织会议、领导人会见、外交会晤、商务谈判以及各种研讨会等提供清晰、可靠的专业口译服务。 Ceremony interpretation （礼仪口译）礼仪性口译的内容多为宴会或大型会议前后的欢迎辞或致谢辞；开幕或闭幕辞。 Information interpretation（宣传口译） Negotiation interpretation（谈判口译）Legal and Court interpreting(法庭口译)或称为特殊口译（special-purpose interpretation），Public Service interpretingPersonal Interpreting / Escort interpreting /Liaison Interpreting (随行口译/联络口译)1.3 Types of interpreting (III)One-way interpretation（单向口译）Two-way interpretation（双向口译）1.4 Characteristic of interpretation Extemporaneous（即席性/即时性） Unpredictable（不可预测性） Independence（个体性操作） Stressful（现场气氛压力） Comprehensive（语言技能多样） Miscellaneous（信息内容广泛）1.5 Quality criteria of interpreting 准确流利：准确是灵魂；流利是保障。1.6 Basic qualities required of interpreters(口译员的基本要求) A strong sense of responsibility（强烈的责任感）; A solid foundation of two languages（坚实的双语基础）; Profound knowledge（渊博的知识）; Good memory（良好的记忆能力） Quick thinking（敏捷的思维） Outstanding ability of understanding（超群的理解力） Fluent expression of ideas（流利的表达）P4 1. strong sense of duty;2. a high level of linguistic proficiency;3. wide encyclopedic knowledge;4. a good mastery of interpreting skills.Unit One Protocol Routine（礼宾程序）I.
