摘要
本文系统地介绍联合国语言服务机构职能以及语言服务类职位征聘要求与流程,并通过编制《联合国语言服务专业素养构成调查问卷》,基于因子分析法,提出联合国语言服务专业素养构成要素为:语言能力、翻译能力、文化素养、政治素养、协作能力、技术能力以及学习能力。
qualifications it demands of its language staffers would offer a useful point of reference for thinking about what professional competence should be required of translators in general.In this paper we first offer a brief account of the various UN language services and their functions,directing attention in particular to the job descriptions these services post for the purpose of recruitment.We then conduct a factor analysis of the data collected from a questionnaire-based survey of the UN language staff.Out of the analysis we derive seven essential abilities required of UN-employed translators and interpreters,namely,the ability or skills as regards language,translation,intercultural communication,political sensitivity,teamwork,technological awareness and continuous learning.In conclusion,we argue that this list,mutatis mutandis,would be just as applicable to other language services and could therefore be of help to all prospective professionals in the industry of translation and interpreting,especially those interested in finding employment with international organizations.
