记者招待会的口译和释意理论——兼谈释意训练

Press Conference Interpreting and Interpretative Theory

法国释意学派的口译理论,关注的是口译的意义传递现象。根据释意派口译理论,口译包括三个主要程序:原语理解、脱离原语词语外壳和译语表达。而贯穿这三个程序、使其有机地连接并形成工作链的是“信息意义”,口译过程是释意过程。本文运用释意派口译理论对今年“两会”中外记者招待会现场口译实例进行评述和分析,进一步说明口译的释意性,并据此探讨为实现口译释意过程而设计的训练方法。

The Interpretative Theory originated in France focuses on the conveyance of the deverbalized intended meaning （ the sense） derived from the context in the course of interpreting, which comprises three stages -- comprehension, de-verbalization and reformulation. This article discussed the application of the theory in Chinese- English interpreting with examples taken from the press conferences of the ＂Two Sessions＂ held this year, followed by recommendations for interpreter training.
