口译是一种跨语言,跨文化的交际活动。它不是简单的字词句的一一对应和简单置换,而是需要口译员用目的语听众能够充分理解的语言和方式表达讲话人的意思。既然口译是语言交际,就必定涉及到文化交流。译员应具有跨文化意识,充分考虑语言之间存在的文化差异,从听众的文化背景、层次、理解能力出发传达译语内容。 Interpreting is a cross-lingual and cross-cultural communication activity. It is not a one-to-one correspondence and simple replacement of simple words, but an interpreter needs to express the speaker’s meanings in a language and manner that the target audience can understand. Since interpretation is a linguistic communication, it must involve cultural exchange. Translators should have cross-cultural awareness, take full account of the cultural differences existing between languages, and convey the target language from the audience’s cultural background, level and understanding ability.
