口译训练的三阶段和话语的六种类型

口译是一种技能,而不是一种知识或理论。作为一种技能,只有通过大量训练和实践才能充分掌握。因此,口译课除讲解必要的理论和技巧外,其重点应放在大量的操练上,使学生通过反复训练,逐步掌握口译技巧。

口译训练可分为三个阶段,一是听与理解阶段,主要解决听什么、理解什么的问题。要让学生学会启动认知知识,根据语境、交际环境和交际主题等理解篇章意义,而不是简单地听辨语义;二是记忆阶段,主要解决如何把理解的内容记忆下来。要让学生逐渐学会跟踪讲话人的思路,通过视觉、感觉、形象、顺时、线性、类比等记忆方法。或者利用笔记把可唤起记忆的意义载体记录下来;三是表达阶段,主要解决如何借助笔记的提示把理解了的内容表达出来。

口译训练应特别重视记忆训练。人的记忆按其内容可以划分为文字记忆(指将材料逐词逐句地加以背诵的记忆方式,如背诵一篇文章)和内容记忆(指对材料进行有意义的加工,记忆其思想为“长久记忆”和“短时记忆”两类。所谓“长久

记忆”是指一种长期保持信息的记忆,也叫潜在记忆或被动记忆。这相当于译员

平时学习积累的知识、经验,事前准备的背景知识、专业知识、词汇术语。所谓“短时记忆”是指信息储存一两分钟的记忆,也称为操作记忆或积极记忆。译员临场运用的主要是靠短时操作记忆,同时把潜在记忆转化为积极记忆。由于口译的任务是用目的语重述来源语所表达的内容,即:用与来源语完全不同的词汇、句型来表达来源语所表述的意义,因此译员在倾听他人讲话的同时必须立即忘掉来源语的用词,用大脑快速地分析并记住来源语的全部意思。由此可见,口译中,译员对来源语所表达内容的记忆发挥着重要作用。

一个人的记忆力固然与先天遗传有很大的关系,但人在自己的先天记忆面前并不是完全无能为力的。我们可以通过后天的训练增强记忆力。最有效的记忆辅助手段是口译笔记。译员之所以能把几分钟的讲话忠实地用另一种语言表达出来,是因为思想或口译中的交际意义都可以用某种载体(符号)存储在译员的记忆之中。这种载体包括语言符号(中英文字词)、数学符号、画面、形象、数字等。它们可以记在纸上,也可以记在译员的脑子里。它们作为提示符号,存储在译员的短时记忆中,随时帮助译员回忆起长久记忆中存储的讲话意义,并按照目标语的规则把理解的意义表达出来。辅助记忆的另一种手段是跟踪讲话人的思路。

口译所能见到的话语主要有六种类型:

1.叙述言语体。其思维线路主要有:a.沿事物发生时间线索叙述;b.沿观察事物一般顺序描述,即先讲引人注目之处,忽略或夸张某些细节,同时叙述人物动作;c.某些有意破坏一般规律的叙述方式。

2.论证言语体。其思维线路主要有:a.沿认知客观世界的一般顺序论述,即先易后难,由表及里等;b.按论证文体一般结构论述——尤其是有稿发言, 即先论点后论据,有引言有结论等; c.无稿论证言语中常见的,从语汇、概念或某一画面引发而去的自由联想思维方式。其内部规律是:循着词与词、概念与概念、画面与画面之间的相似、相依或相反性而联想起另一词、概念或画面,再予以发挥。它不一定等于通常所说的“形象思维”,而更是一种潜意识思维,可以“形象”,也可“抽象”,发言人往往沿类似线索返回发言“主题”。

3.介绍言语体。其思维线路主要是循观察与认识事物的一般规律介绍,如参观游览介绍或产品介绍等。违反这一规律的做法很少见。

4.礼仪性演说体。其思维线路主要是沿相对固定的套式表述内涵,如祝酒词。因此熟悉这些套式显然很有好处。

5.鼓动演说体。其思维线路主要是联想式与综合式。

6.对话言语体(包括会谈),同上。

由此可见,无论讲话人单独或混合使用何种类型,都有一定的思维线路可循。译员都可以对讲话人的思维逻辑进行归纳,对其叙述或介绍顺序加以排列,或追寻其联想线索,或循固定套式把握其思路。除此以外,译员还可以通过抓重点词与主干词帮助追踪讲话人的思路。

口译训练是一种技能训练,要求受训的学生必须拥有一定的智力水平、相关语言知识、主题知识和百科知识。教员在课堂训练中应注意发挥示范、引导、总结三个作用,不断激发学生的学习热情,引导他们自觉地按技能规范原则来指导自己的实践活动。

口译技能的训练不能局限在课內,学生必须充分利用业余时间,广泛阅读中外文报刊,扩大自己知识面和词汇量,了解国内外政治、经济、文化、军事、科技、贸易、环保、教育、社会发展等领域的最新发展。可以利用中英语电视和广播,边听边记录,听完一段后再试着用另一种语言复述出来,也可以边听边译,这对于不断提高反应能力有很大的好处。另外,要多用英语和汉语进行演讲练习,

提高讲话的流利程度,提高口头表达能力。最后,要大量进行笔译练习,一提高口译的严禁性和遣词造句的能力。

口译中的逻辑分析指的是对讲话进行纵向和横向的分析

Module 2 Logical analysis I Theory and skills 口译中的逻辑分析指的是对讲话进行纵向和横向的分析,纵向分析是指分清关键信息和辅助信息,即找出逻辑的层次;横向分析则是明确各信息点之间的逻辑关系,如因果关系、对比对照、举例说明等。逻辑分析的目的是为了透彻地理解原语讲话的内容,对信息的点(具体的信息内容) 、线(各点之间的联系)和面(即整体概念)进行全面的把握,以便于记忆和表达。信息经过分析加工,便能在记忆中留下更深的印象。 逻辑分析练习可分为纵向分析和横向分析练习。纵向分析的训练方法和第一课介绍的概述练习有些类似,但侧重点不一样。纵向分析要求进行逻辑分层训练,即在听完一篇讲话后首先用一句话概括出讲话的中心内容,这是逻辑的最上层;围绕这一中心问题讲话人谈了哪几个方面的内容,这是第二层关系;而每个方面又具体谈了些什么,这是逻辑的下一个层次。例如第一课的练习 1.1 介绍了三种错误的饭后习惯,这三种习惯分别是:饭后立即吃水果、喝茶和散步;针对每一种错误习惯,分析了其原因,提出了正确的做法;在原因里又提到几种原因,分别是……。就这样将信息一层一层地剖析下去,形成一个清晰的逻辑线路图,然后按照逻辑线路对原语讲话进行复述,复述时不必拘泥于原语的顺序和结构。 横向分析的练习则要求我们找出信息之间的逻辑关系。一般的信息结构都遵从一定的逻辑关系模式,女口:概括(generalization )、分类(classification )、因果 (cause-effect )、对比对照 (compare & contrast )、按照时间、空间、步骤、重要性的顺序排列 (sequencing )、列举( simple listing )、提出问题 - 解决问题( problem-solution )等。找逻辑关系可以根据线索词汇,如英文里表示概括关系的线索词汇有:to sumup, in summary, in conclusion, in brief, in short, on the whole 等;表示顺序的词汇有:first, second, furthermore, before, preceding, during, when, finally, meanwhile 等;表示对比的词汇有:likewise, as well as, in common with, both, similarly , compared to 等;表示对照的有: on the other hand, on the contrary, otherwise, instead, still, yet, whereas, differently 等;表示因果的则有: so, since, because, as a result, consequently, lead to 等等。逻辑分析要求在听取信息时不是被动地接收,而是在全神贯注地收听的同时,结合自己对口译情境和讲话人背景的了解,进行合理的分析和预测,这样才能更好地跟上讲话人的思路,缓解“听”的压力,使口译理解更轻松更准确。 II Skills practice Teaching suggestions: Tell the students to form a mind picture or logic tree while listening, trying to associate main points with the corresponding sub-points, and then do the retelling to check the effectiveness of their logic analysis.

口译案例分析

Interculture Awareness Plays an Important Role in Translation Interculture awareness, a basic talent of an interpreter, is very important. It directly influences the translation’s quality and it can be a measure of a wonderful interpreter. An interpreter with a sensitive interculture awareness can interpret more correctly and be understood more easily. At the press conference held on the March 14, 2010, the Prime Minister Wen quoted the classic Chinese poetries which are in short form but in deep meaning more than ten times in answer to foreign journalists’questions. It was rather hard to interpret those poetries, but Wen’s interpreter, Zhang Lu, translated them into English calmly, quickly and fluently, which reflected her wonderful interculture awareness. Zhang’s translation will be discussed as follows: Case: the Premier Wen said in a opening remark: “今后几年,道路依然不平坦,甚至充满荆棘。但是我们应该记住这样一条古训:行百里者半九十。不可有任何松懈麻痹和动摇。”And then he expressed that he wanted to do his best in the next three years with words quoted from《离骚》:“亦余心之所善兮,虽九死其犹未悔。” Translation by Zhang: The road ahead is not a smooth one, it maybe full of twists and turns. But we should always re-member this important thing: that is half of the people who have embarked on the one hundred miles journey may fall by the way side,this means we must not slacken our efforts in the slightest, and we must not waive r in our resolve … For the ideal I hold dear to my heart,I would not regret a thousand times to die. With this strong commitment, I will continue to devote my-self to my work in the next three years. “亦余心之所善兮,虽九死其犹未悔”,quoted by the Premier from 《离骚》, is familiar to most Chinese. The “九死”was translated into “a thousand times to die”is very idiomatic because Chinese always use the “三”or “九”to express “a lot of times”and Zhang translated it into a form that is familiar to foreigners. The translation of “行百里者半九十”, by contrast, is not so exact. The phrase quoted from 《战国策·秦策五》means that if one has finished 90 km in 100km-road, it is considered as that one has finished half of the road because the last 10 km is more harder than the former 90km, that is to say, one should work harder or one will fail. That phrase is often used to urge people to start well and end well. The Chinese interpreter can not translate the Chinese poetry into English very exactly in a hurry but if the interculture awareness is made most of in the translation, the interpreter will perform better. For example, the phrase can be translated into “Ninety miles is only half of a hundred miles journey”. In conclusion, interculture awareness plays an important role in translation. It can help the translator to understand the speaker better and interpret more exactly. Therefore, the interpreters should cultivate sensitive intervculture awareness to improve translation quality.

4.3.2 口译笔记常用符号 在学会了对原语进行逻辑和思维路线再现之后,用适当的符号替换逻辑或者思维再现图中的部分文字,实际上就是口译笔记了,当然在真实的口译实践中,笔记还可以更进一步地简化。相当多的口译初学者觉得口译员使用的符号很神秘,看起来像天书一样,进而“神话”口译员的工作。其实口译员使用的符号主要来自于原语、译入语,小部分借用了速记符号。现在我们看看口译员常用的符号来源: 4.3.2.1 汉字、汉字偏旁部首、古汉语、简化汉字、拼音 大university, adult, generous, open-minded, large-size… 中middle school, medium-sized, intermediate, in the middle of, neutral,… 小primary (elementary), kid, children, mean, petty,… 凝聚ningju或者nju 饕餮taotie或者ttie “戈”可以用来代替“武器” 偏旁部首举例: 简化汉字举例: 4.3.2.2 英语、英语字母 英语单词的缩写规律:保留单词的辅音,去除元音,当然首字母是元音必须保留。一般保留三至五个辅音就可以帮助回忆整个单词,例如: impoverishment: impvr

debility: dblt rejuvenate: rjvn department: dpt standard: std reference: rfr 口译学习者还需要记住常用国际组织、专用名词、国家名及其首都名的缩写,例如: UN, UNESCO, NATO, APEC, OPEC, … Intellectual property protection: IPP NK, SK, CN, US, UK… 口译学习者还可以自己开动脑筋,充分发挥自己的创造性和想象力,开发出简介实用的笔记符号,下面以英文大写字母为例,看看如何创造性地在笔记中使用这些大写字母: A: first, top, excellent, extraordinary, outstanding, remarkable, unusual E: eyesight, economy, economic, economical, electronic, East F: failure, false, wrong, not true, full, flag G: government, God H: health, help, support, connect, bridge, cross, Hour I: I / we, my (our) party, eye L: long, lengthen, prolong M: money, mail, mother, mountain, movement, McDonald, man, May, Member (ship), mm… N: nose, nation, name, nothing, no, negation, deny, need, necessary, North O: zero, circle, old, orange, our, one, empty, world, all, success, complete P: pm, peace, park, pay, politics, people, perfect, president, prime minister, head, flagship Q: quality, quantity, quarter, question, cute, balloon, head, suspect, doubt, unknown, difficulty R: respect, representative, request, about, relations, return S: smile, snake, turns and twists, society, social, silence, curve, slim T: time, tea, cross-disciplinary, compound, T-shirt, T-stage, disagreement, dispute, disapproval U: you (your party), pitfall, trap, recycle, cycle, return, valley V: victory, triumph, vs, valley, bottom, tip W: west, western, wave, fluctuate, ups and downs X: X-ray, XL, wrong, negation, cross, times, execute, kill Y: why, year, yes, approve, agree, young, deviate, tree, servant Z: zero, zoo, last, zigzag, turns and twists, dream, sleep (comic strip) 从以上例子可以看出,我们可以从拼写、发音以及字母的结构等方面来进行联想,在笔记中创造性地使用这些符号。 4.3.2.3 箭头 箭头在口译笔记中的使用可以毫不夸张地说“占了半壁江山”,首先动词的位置往往由右箭头代替。下面看看箭头的用法:

口译笔记速记符号归总

口译笔记速记符号归总 一、做口译笔记时的注意事项 1.口译笔记应记要点,切忌求记“全”。口译笔记是记忆的延伸或补充,不应也不必取代记忆。口译笔记的主要内容是概念、命题、名称、数字、组织机构和逻辑关系(如大小、先后、正反、上下、升降、因果关系等),笔记单位以表达意群的词语和符号为主。 2.口译笔记求快求精,但不可潦草。 3.口译笔记可使用来源语,也可使用目标语,也可以双语兼用。只要有利于口译的准确性和流利性,不必拘泥于某种文字或符号。例如,“联合国大会”可笔录为“UN”或“联大”。 4.口译笔记使用大量常见略语,例如:cf(compare),Co(company),eg(for example),etc(and so on),esp(especially),ie(that is),max(maximum),min(minimum),ref(reference),std(standard),usu(usually),等。 二、常用速记符号 速记是一项特殊的技巧,速记语言是由一套完整的符号组成的体系。在口译实践中逐步掌握一些简单的速记符号是有益的。 口译成功与否在很大程度上取决于译员在口译表达前对感知的信息进行记录的能力。记录分为“脑记”和“笔记”两种。 人脑的记忆由短时记忆和长时记忆两部分组成。顾名思义,短时记忆是一种操作性的暂时记忆,长时记忆属于一种储存性的永久记忆。影响一个人短时记忆的因素很多,其中最主要的因素是记忆内容的意义性。即便是当感知的信息有意义时,人的短时记忆只可容纳由二十多个单词组成的句子,或者一组十位数的数字。因此,对于口译工作者来说,完全依赖人脑的记忆能力是危险的,记笔记便显得十分重要。 in Note taking Use only the abbreviations that fit your needs and that you will remember easily. A good idea is to introduce only a few abbreviations into your note taking at a time. Symbols helpful in math -- these are commonly used in texts and references. S = sum f = frequency Leave out periods in standard abbreviations. cf = compare e.g. = example dept = department Use only the first syllable of a word. pol = politics

英语即兴演讲稿与英语口译中的演讲技巧分析汇编

英语即兴演讲稿范文 i like to look into the mirror. i remember when i was a little girl, i often stood on my toes, trying to find my face in the mirror of the dressing table, which was nearly as high as i was. now i still like to look into the mirror. only now, the dressing table is too low for me. as i bend down, i see the face of a young woman, glowing with maturity, confident in her future and fascinated with her own reflection. the fact that i like to look into the mirror has to do with my granny with whom i spent most of my childhood. i remember clearly that one night i heard her murmuring, "women can't be seen. women can't be seen." i was so confused as to look into the mirror the next morning to check if i could indeed see myself. only now as a young woman myself, can i understand that it was not physical visibility that granny had on her mind. granny spent all her life taking care of the family, day in and day out. she cooked for her husband and 10 children. but whenever guests came, she and other female family members had to eat by the stove in the small kitchen. at family discussions, she was never asked for her opinion. after grandpa passed away, she had to listen to my uncle, her eldest son, fulfilled her duty as daughter, wife, and mother; yet as a person, she remained little noticed. even though she could see herself in the mirror of the dressing table, she was never visible in the mirror of society. i have been living a different life. at home, i make decisions together with the rest of the family. in school, i often take charge of various activities the same as other boys and girls. not only that, i can see something granny could not have dreamed of─making decisions for my own future. my life has been a series of decisions. i could choose from several universities as i came out of high school. at university, i could choose from a range of subjects from english literature to business law. and now upon graduation, i am again faced with decisions─to further my study or to go to work; to stay in china or to go abroad; to get married right away or to remain single for a bit longer. it does not matter whether or not i will bee famous or rich, but i will treasure the chance to demonstrate my potential and to help other women demonstrate theirs as full members of society, fully visible in the mirror of history. i will treasure it because the abundance of choice that i enjoy came only after decades of efforts made by my granny, my mum, and millions of other chinese women. however, the choices to be made by me and others of my generation are a great challenge. the misconception that men are superior to women is still dominating many people's minds. while men are encouraged to pete and to assert themselves, we are expected to be quiet, loyal 第1 页共5 页

口译笔记的七个原则

THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES The use of a technique is always dependent upon the application of a certain number of principles. This is what we call the instructions. One need not follow the rules recommended in such instructions. Indeed the product, device or system for which they were devised may well work even if they are not observed, but will do so less efficiently. Furthermore, the simpler the instructions, the more likely the user is to follow them. The same applies to note-taking. A few very simple principles give this system its sound base and precision, and make using it straightforward. There are seven of these principles; in order they are: 1 Noting the idea and not the word 2 The rules of abbreviation 3 Links 4 Negation 5 Adding emphasis 6 Verticality 7 Shift Some of these principles have already been explained by Jean Herbert in his Interpreter’s Handbook1. 1. Noting the idea rather than the word Take any French text and give it to 10 excellent english translators. The result will be ten very well translated texts, but ten very different texts in as far as the actual words used are concerned. The fact that we have ten good translations, but ten different texts, shows that what is important is the translation of the idea and not the word. This is even truer of interpretation since the interpreter must produce a version of the text in another language immediately. He must be free of the often misleading constraints that words represent. It is through the analysis and notation of the ideas that the interpreter will avoid mistakes and a laboured delivery. Example: Let us take the following, from French into English: …Il y a des fortes chances pour que...../ There is a very good chance that...” If we base our notation of this expression on the words, the key word is chance. If we base it on the idea, it is probable. The notes will have to be read 20 minutes – even an hour2– after the idea was originally expressed. In the first example it would be very easy to make a mistake. Having noted chance the i nterpreter might, if the context allowed, render it …there is a chance that” or …by chance”. If on the other hand he noted probable the mistake cannot be made. The issue of style is also dealt with in the second example where one would automatically say (interpreting into English), …It is probable that”, or …it is likely that”, or …in all likelihood” whereas in the first example even if the interpreter had correctly recalled the idea that the word chance represented he/she will be a prisoner to that word and might easily produce a gallicism3. 1 Georg & C ie, Geneva, 1956. 2 this was indeed the case when Rozan wrote. Although nowadays 20 minutes is considered a long consecutive speech, his comments still apply. 3 being unduly influenced by the source language is, of course, not only a problem in French-English interpretation but in all interpretation.

笔记技巧 人脑的记忆由短时记忆和长时记忆两部分组成。顾名思义,短时记忆是一种操作性的暂时记忆,长时记忆属于一种储存性的永久记忆。影响一个人短时记忆的因素很多,其中最主要的因素是记忆内容的意义性。即便是当感知的信息有意义时,人的短时记忆只可容纳由二十多个单词组成的句子,或者一组十位数的数字。 口译的过程中,译者会遭遇许多讯息负荷上的困难,例如:讯息过多、讯息密集(好几项并列的讯息)、讯息杂乱、或是讯息陌生(如数字或专有名词)。既使能够完全理解讯息的內容,也有可能无法完整地将讯息传达出来。因此,对于口译工作者来说,完全依赖人脑的记忆能力是危险的,记笔记便显得十分重要。这时候,我们就需要一些辅助工具的协助,这就是口译笔记。口译成功与否在很大程度上取决于译员在口译表达前对感知的信息进行记录的能力。记录分为“脑记”和“笔记”两种。 口译笔记的功能是:第一、具有辅助短时记忆的作用,避免遗忘漏失。第二、透过图像、版面与符号的交错运用,笔记具有语段逻辑分析与保存的功能,能将语篇的段落整理清楚并保存一段时间。 笔记是口译讯息整理与保存的工具,运用这项工具时必须先了解到底笔记的內容是什么。建立新架构的必要讯息是5W1H「六何」(何人、何事、何时、何地、何物、如何)。再加上,数字与专有名词就是了。 在讯息內容之外,还要进一步掌握的就是讯息內容之间的关系,例如: A. 笔记的的结构(指将讯息置于笔记纸上的组织方法) 1. 纵向分页—要将版面分割以充分利用纸面,可以纵向画一条中线区隔。 2. 橫向分段--在每一语意完整的段落之后画一稍长之横线,每一口译段落之后则画 一条贯穿版面之横线。 3. 阶梯式排列—适用于表示讯息的先后顺序。 4. 条列式记法—适用于表达并列的的讯息或是联手、对立等语意內涵。 B. 笔记的语言(运用图像、符号、简称、字母、文字或加以組合,以表达口语讯息的内容与结构。) “怎样记”是一个因人而异的问题,理论上以目标语加符号为宜,如“powerful country”记作“强□”,“我同意”记作“I√”,“观点,看法一致”记作“⊙same”,“economic development”记作“经↑”等等。用目标语记录能够帮助译者脱离原语的语言外壳,使笔记成为表达的雏形,为表达提供便利。不过理论归理论,遇到具体情况还应具体处理,译者完全可以采用自己认为最迅速,最简短的方法记录。比如汉译英时,汉语是母语,用汉语记,自然反应更快,记得更准,所以何乐而不为。相反,只要英文记录相对容易,就不必拘泥于上述的理论,锁住自己的手脚。还有英汉双语混用,也都是口译笔记个性化的体现。值得注
