英汉、汉英同传比较研究

论文摘要

随着同声传译在全世界范围内的广泛应用,对它的研究也不断向前发展。西方学者对同传的研究远远走在中国前面,不但开始得早,研究也较为宽泛而深入。中国学者吸收西方研究成果以指导自己的同传实践,并在此基础上总结经验,加入研究,在英—汉同传研究方面初有成效,但有关汉—英同传方面的研究则极少,只是偶有提及。在实际操作中,国内的同传译员在大多数情况下需要做英—汉、汉—英双向同传,所以能对汉—英同传起指导作用的汉—英同传研究是必要的。因此,我们需要对汉—英同传研究加以重视,给予足够的关注,使其研究成果能用以指导同传实践,培养出更多合格出众的中国同传译员。本论文试着将英—汉、汉—英同传进行对比研究,旨在找出国内同传学习者在学习过程中遇到的不同难点,并提供一些合适的应对技巧以提高其同传技能。作者调查了国内同传学习者对英—汉或汉—英同传的偏好,对得出的数据做了分析研究。尽管本文的研究涉及面不广,但更多的重点放在了英—汉同传研究上。虽然调查有其局限性,但调查结果确实指出了某些问题。例如,国内大部分同传学习者的英语语言能力存在不足,仍有待加强,否则,他们的同传技能难以提高和进步。关于是否该将英—汉、汉—英同传分成两个阶段分别集中训练的问题还没有一个定论,需要进一步的实验研究来得出结论。
