译员：并列双语者抑或合成双语者？

A Probe into the Differentiation Between Compound Bilingual Interpreters and Integrated Bilingual Interpreters

自清朝以来,中国就一直在培养自己的口译译员。由于中国特殊的国情,绝大多数译员都是合成双语者这一现状无法改变,因此区别并列双语者与合成双语者从根本上就不具有实际意义。作者从双语现象的定义和分类入手,分析了将译员划分为并列双语者与合成双语者存在的问题,提出在中国大陆口译职业化的进程中,不宜区分并列双语者与合成双语者,而应注重双语能力的培养,在实践中不断提高口译水平。

Since Qing dynasty, China has been training its own interpreters. Due to China＇ s special conditions, the majority of its interpreters have been integrated bilinguals, which can hardly be changed. The differentiation between compound bilingual interpreters and integrated bilingual interpreters, thus, has fundamentally little practical value. The authors of this paper start their discussion with the definition and categorization of bilingualism, analyze the problems in Bao Gang＇ s differentiation between compound and integrated bilingual interpreters, and finally propose that in China it is improper to differentiate between interpreters according to their language acquisition conditions.
