Interpretation Strategies Based On Categorized Equivalence

This thesis is mainly about the strategies of interpretation. The existing theories on interpretation are either too microcosmic or too macroscopical, so the field of interpretation strategies calls for systematic theories that can combine the two aspects, which is macroscopical in direction on one hand and microcosmic in skills on the other hand. Considering this, the paper tries to put forward a theory to make up for the vacancy.What kind of equivalence should be taken as the focus of interpretation in difference field? This is the key question that the thesis tries to answer. The author takes the functional equivalence of Eugene Nida as the theoretical foundation, and by analyzing its defects, the author further puts forward the notion of categorized equivalence to make up for its limitations. Then the improved theory of categorized equivalence can be used to guide interpretation analysis, which is divided into four fields based on content. The author raised six categories of equivalence and allocated each of the four fields with two categories of equivalence as the focuses of interpretation strategies according to the statistics of investigation. Besides, the author has also answered some of the key problems in each of the four interpretation areas.Lastly, the author concludes the thesis by offering her own suggestions for future study on interpretation.
