Inspiration On The Efficiency Of Interpreting Teaching From An Empirical Study Of Interpreting Output

Under the influence of traditional concept of Chinese education, teachers tend to evaluate students'performance based on the"standard answers", which prohibit learners from producing their own versions in interpreting and hence bringing bad influence on the efficiency of interpreting training. By taking questionnaire and collecting examples from 4 interpreting course books and authentic interpreting by some famous interpreters, the present paper reveals the situations of interpreting teaching in China. The purpose of so doing is to find out the reasons for such happenings for the sake of giving suggestions for improving the efficiency of interpreting teaching. The research findings mainly contain three points: 1)Interpreters, interpretation teachers and students should take different genres, contexts and occasions into consideration when dealing with the identical original discourse; 2) Standard answers to interpretation outputs can only function as a reference at most, in the teaching practice, it should be abandoned; 3) Students'creative thinking should be motivated by interpretation teachers, thus they are able to produce various acceptable interpreted versions of the same original discourse.
