| Oral interpreters are working at a speed which is about 30 times greater than that of the translator. Due to the its evanescence, people often pay attention to what the interpreter expresses other than how the interpreter makes his decision. Actually, during that extremely short period of time, a highly complex and marvelous mental process takes place in the interpreter's mind. The dissertation attempts to make a dynamic study of this process.The thesis consists of four parts. The first part makes a brief explanation on the significance of dynamic study of oral interpretation. In the second part, the author firstly expounds on the three stages of interpreting process based on of D. Seleskovitch's theory and the information processing model of human brain. Then the author analyzes the "outside environment" of this mental process: the bilingual intercultural communication. The third part analyzes in detail the dynamic elements that influence the oral interpreting process, including elements of language, culture and interpreter's psychological state. The fourth part concludes that oral interpretation is a dynamic process influenced by dynamic elements from the bilingual intercultural communication and the interpreter's inner psychological state. And since the process of oral interpretation is dynamic, the interpreter should always keep his mind open to the outside world and never rests content with what he has at present.Main points of the dissertation are as follows:(1) Oral interpretation is a mental process based on the information processing system of human brain;(2) The bilingual intercultural communication makes up the "outside environment" of oral interpretation;(3) Linguistic elements, cultural elements and interpreter's psychological elements are major dynamic elements influencing the process of oral interpretation;(4) The dynamic feature of oral interpretation decides that the interpreter should never stop learning and improving his own psychological development.
