国家军事口译能力测评体系的构建探索——量表研制的原则、方法与思路

Interpreting Competence Scales in Military Settings as an Example of National Translation Competence Assessment

军事翻译能力是国家翻译能力的重要组成部分,是国家掌握国际军事交流知情权和话语权的重要保障。当前学界开始从不同角度探讨国家军事翻译能力的内涵与构成,但鲜有研究探索军事翻译能力的测评问题。本文以军事口译能力量表的构建为例,从总体目标、构建原则、研制思路和应用前景等方面,探索如何科学地构建国家军事翻译能力测评体系,从而为国家涉外军事口译人才的培养、选拔和评估提供依据,进而为国家军事翻译能力的建设与发展提供启示。

As an important part of the national translation competence,military translation competence ensures a country's right to know and to speak in international military exchanges and cooperation.While scholars have begun to discuss what constitutes national military translation competence,how such competence can be assessed remains largely unexplored.This paper takes into consideration the objectives,principles,methods,and utilities for the construction of a military interpreting competence scale,proposing a framework for the training,screening,and evaluation of military interpreters.Undertaking this project is also expected to throw some light on the development of China's national translation competence as a whole.
