Interpretation In An EST Context And The Cultivation Of Interpreters Of EST

With the rapid economic development of the world, the needs for interchanges in the arenas of culture, politics, science and technology are becoming more and more frequent and urgent. The more advanced our society has evolved, the more important interpretation has become. In the field of science and technology, with the rapid development of science and technology, the need for interpreters in this field increases greatly. As a result, we need to explore further in the field of EST interpretation and the training of interpreters of English for science and technology, in hopes that the gap between the need and supply will be shortened in the future.Theories about interpretation and training of interpreters have been available for a long time. However, there is still no integrated research in the field of EST interpretation and the training of EST interpreters. On the basis of existing findings, this thesis focuses on the analysis of the language features of English for science and technology, so as to seek some useful techniques for EST interpreting and figure out several important points that should be taken into consideration of interpreters in the process of EST interpreting. Several new points, such as the basic standards of EST interpretation, the logic of language and the expressions of scientific terms in both Chinese and English are discussed in this thesis.Some relevant issues concerning the quality and competence of EST interpreters are discussed in the latter part of this thesis. This part aims at making some basic study on the ways and means of the cultivation of interpreters in the field of science and technology by starting with a discussion on the qualification of interpreters. Competence of interpreters, especially competence required of EST interpreters is introduced in this part. Besides, the last part discusses some training styles of EST interpreters and some important aspects that should be paid special attention to for the reference of trainees of EST interpreters.
