试析图式理论在商务英语口译中的应用

On the Application of Schema Theory to Business English Interpreting

作为认知的基础和已有知识或经验活动的结构,图式强调背景知识在学习中的作用。口译作为一种复杂的认知心理活动,其过程涉及对源语的理解,对源语信息的把握以及对目标语的表达。译员如果能合理利用图式,则可以大大简化口译程序,更加出色地完成口译任务。

As the foundation of cognition and an active organization of past reactions or experience, Schema stresses on ap- plying background knowledge in learning. Interpretation is a complex cognitive psychological activity involving the comprehen- sion of the source language, the deverbaiization from the source information and the expression of the target language. Making reasonable use of Schema could greatly help interpreters to simplify the procedure of interpretation and excellently fulfill inter- preting tasks.
