摘要
很多学者运用关联理论研究文化负载词语的翻译,但针对的主要是文学作品中的文化负载词语,而且基本属于定性研究。总体来说,对于记者招待会中文化负载词语的口译研究还比较少,而这样的研究其实可以给口译教学带来很多启示。本文从关联理论的角度,选取2013-2016年的总理记者会为语料,采用定性与定量相结合的方法,对记者招待会上文化负载词语的汉英口译方法的使用特点,即译员会使用哪些口译方法,哪种方法被使用得最频繁等进行研究,并分析这些特点形成的原因。研究结果表明:译员在进行口译时,为使译语听话人获得最佳关联,在不同的语境中针对不同的文化负载词语会采用不同的方法,包括直译、意译以及归译。但是,由于记者招待会口译本身所具有的即时性、信息传达为主、原话明示信息丰富等特点,译员使用这三种译法的频数有很大差异,意译使用频数最大,归译最小。
Although lots of researches have been made about culture-loaded expressions from relevance-theoretic perspective, most of them focus on the translation of the culture-loaded expressions in literary works, and the methodology employed is basically qualitative analysis.Much less attention is paid to the interpretation of them in such specific contexts as press conferences, though the research in this regard can offer much guidance to interpretation teaching.Within the framework of Relevance Theory, this study, therefore, using a mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis, is aimed at investigating which methods are employed to interpret the culture-loaded expressions at government press conferences, which interpretation method is used most frequently and why. Data collected for analysis is from 2013-2016 Chinese Premier press conferences during the NPC and CPPCC sessions, which constitute a small corpus of this study.The results of the study show that to help target language listeners get optimal relevance,interpreters use different methods, including literal interpretation, free interpretation and domesticating interpretation, to interpret different culture-loaded expressions at press conferences.However, due to some features of press conference, such as its immediacy, informativeness and rich ostensive information from source language speaker, the frequencies of these three interpretation methods are quite different. The frequency of free interpretation is high, while that of domesticating interpretation is low.
