交替传译(consecutive interpreting)要求译员能听取发言人不同时长的讲话并迅速地进行双语转换,因而交传对译者的短时记忆提出了较高要求。而因为人的短时记忆负载量有限,如果没有笔记的协助,译者几乎不可能完成传译任务,所以笔记在交替传译中的作用可见一斑。笔者在口译教学中,在训练学生进行交传练习中,发现学生往往会陷入一些笔记上的误区,这就引发了笔者的思考,并希望通过对这些误区的明示和归纳,能为日后的口译教学提供一点借鉴和启示。 Alternate interpreting requires interpreters to listen to speakers of different length for a long time and to make bilingual conversions promptly. Therefore, there is a high demand for short-term memory of translators. Because of the limited human short-term memory load, it is almost impossible for the translator to complete the task of interpretation without the help of notes. Therefore, the role of notes in alternative interpretation is evident. In the course of interpreting teaching, the author trains students to practice writing and finds that students often fall into misunderstandings on some notes, which arouses the author’s thinking. He hopes that through explicating and concluding these misunderstandings, Teaching to provide a little reference and inspiration.
