As china's economy and polity develops, there is an increasing number of communications with various countries all over the world. With a mushrooming number of formal or informal conferences, there are more and more development and study in interpretation. The process of interpreting is the process of language communicating, and also a process of exchanging different educational background and social environment. Interpretation is benefit for communication with other language speakers, which becomes the bridge of various cultures and language communities.The thesis analyses the categories and features, introduces the study of press conference interpretation (PCI). Compared from relevance theory and skopos theory views, it analyses the detail examples. Relevance theory is divided into three parts of ostensive-inferential mode, seeking for contextual effects and optimal relevance to discuss the press conference interpretation. Through the discourse analysis, it is demonstrated that optimal relevance stems from the best contextual effects; successful communication is determined by successful mental analysis and inference. Further more, skopos theory is divided into another three parts to discuss the influences of press conference interpretation, which illustrates that fidelity rule< coherence rule< skopos rule. In other words, when there is a same skopos of three rules, they don't interfere each other; when the skopos rule requires incoherence and disloyalty, the coherence rule and fidelity rule are invalid.At last, the thesis concludes six common translation strategies of press conference interpretation among many examples—amplification, omission, change order method, the translation skill of adjectives and shorten sentences. For my limited and incomprehensive study, I hope all these can get more researchers some references and inspiration.
