学生译员汉英交传中的自我修正现象——以第十二届全国口译大赛十强晋级赛为例

Self-repair in Student Interpreters’ Chinese-English Consecutive Interpretation—A Case Study of the Top 10 Finalists of the 12th National Interpreting Competition

摘要: 自我修正，是指译员在同一轮话语中自发地对已输出的译语进行修改和纠正的行为，它体现了译员对翻译准确性和表达流畅性的追求，但也可能在一定程度上影响译文的流畅性和听众的理解。同时汉英交传作为跨语言交流的重要桥梁，其即时性和现场性特征使其在实际应用中显得尤为重要。在汉英交传中，学生译员可能会因比赛压力、语言理解上的偏差、词汇选择的失误、语法结构的错误等原因，而不得不在翻译过程中进行自我修正。本研究着眼于第十二届口译大赛十强晋级赛，对30名选手的录音进行转写，详细分析学生译员在汉英交传中出现的自我修正现象，探究其背后的原因及其可能产生的影响，以期为提升汉英口译质量提供有价值的参考和启示，从而帮助学生译员更好地应对高压力环境下的口译挑战。

Abstract: Self-repair refers to the behavior where interpreters spontaneously modify and correct their already delivered translations within the same round of speech. It demonstrates interpreters' pursuit of translation accuracy and expression fluency, but it may also affect the fluency of the translation and the comprehension of the audience to a certain extent. Meanwhile, as an important bridge for cross-language communication, consecutive interpretation from Chinese to English (C-E CI) is particularly significant in practical applications due to its immediacy and on-site nature. In C-E CI, student interpreters may have to self-repair during the translation process due to factors such as competition pressure, misunderstandings in language comprehension, errors in vocabulary selection, and grammatical mistakes. This study focuses on the top 10 finalists of the 12th National Interpretation Contest, transcribes the recordings of 30 contestants, analyzes in detail the self-correction phenomenon displayed by student interpreters in C-E CI, and explores the reasons behind it and its possible impacts. The aim is to provide valuable reference and inspiration for improving the quality of C-E interpretation, thereby assisting student interpreters in better coping with the challenges of interpretation in high-pressure environments.
