基于语料库的记者招待会口译研究——外媒报道的取效行为视角

A Corpus-based Study on Press Conference Interpretation

本研究从取效行为角度出发,检索Factiva全球新闻数据库总理会见中外记者的外媒报道,借助语料库统计分析及数据可视化,聚焦口译效果的延宕,多维度认识其实效和传播力度。研究发现:国外主流媒体主要使用直接转述、改头换面、混淆是非的翻译方式对读者受众实施取效行为。其中,改头换面的翻译方式使用次数最多,这说明外媒主要会考虑到读者意识对译语进行认知、重组、再阐释。此外,混淆是非也并不少见。因此,总理会见中外记者作为外宣媒介的口译活动,需用目的语受众所能接受和理解的语言进行表达,忠实传达原文的政治内涵,可被外媒直接引用,实现成功的报道取效,以塑造良好的中国形象。

This paper focuses on the perlocutionary act of interpretation,and its effectiveness and transmission strength in a multidimensional way.The study presents the following findings:Foreign mainstream media mainly adopts the translation methods of direct quotation,transformation and pretext to carry out the perlocutionary act on readers.Among them,the most frequently used translation method is transformation,which indicates that the foreign media will mainly consider the readers’awareness and conduct cognition,reorganization and reinterpretation of the target language of the interpreter.The translation method of pretext is not uncommon.Therefore,the interpretation activities of the premier’s meeting with Chinese and foreign journalists as a publicity medium need to be expressed in a language that is acceptable and understandable to the target audience,faithfully conveying the political connotation of the original text,and can be directly quoted by the foreign media,so as to achieve a successful reporting effect and build a good image of China.
