With China's accession to the WTO, China has witnessed increasing exchangeswith the outside world in various fields. As a result, high-quality interpreters are indemand. All kinds of aptitude tests and competitions for translators and interpretersare being held each year. The market for interpreting is ever booming.However, for lack of theoretical support, performance of interpreters is far frombeing satisfactory. Meanwhile, most theoretical and practical studies in interpretationare experience-oriented or culture-oriented. Therefore, it's urgent to carry outsystematic study in interpretation, in order to provide interpreting fans with solidtheoretical support as well as practicable strategies.This thesis starts from the context theory in systemic functional linguisticsadvocated by Halliday. In Part 3, through concrete example, the ComprehensionEquation in interpreting advanced by Gile is explained from the viewpoint of 3-layercontext, revealing the intemal conformity between these two theories. For furtheranalysis, Chapter 4 comes to case study from the angle of formal and informalregister, in order to work out suitable interpreting strategies to guide the practice.Chapter 5 proposes four strategies.This thesis suggests that more importance be attached to systematic studies ininterpretation by consulting the findings of linguistics. It's imperative for interpretersto be armed with unconventional concepts and strategies to live up to the newexpectation and requirement.
