On How To Deal With Discourses With Chinese Characteristics In The C-E Interpretation

With the development of globalization, English has become a generally acknowledgedlingua franca. During the process of its contact with other nations’ languages, thereemerged different language varieties or special features of the English used in differentregions, and thus appeared the plural form “Englishes”. With China gaining more and moreinternational prestige, interpretation has been further developed in the country. During theC-E interpretation, there are always some discourses with distinctive Chinesecharacteristics. In this situation, the interpreter will often meet a problem: how can hedistinguish the acceptable China English and the non-acceptable Chinglish, and how canhe interpret the discourse in a standard language variety.Firstly, by analyzing the forming process of China English and summing up thestudies of the scholars on China English in recent times, I think that the existence of ChinaEnglish is inevitable. Secondly, using examples, I explain in detail the differences betweenChina English and Standard English which are caused by the differences in the way ofthinking between China and the West. Thirdly, I analyze the difference between ChinaEnglish and Chinglish to help avoid Chinglish in the interpretation, and then provide somemethods for interpreting the discourses with distinctive Chinese characteristics in theaspects of words, sentences, and discourses. In conclusion, through the analysis andresearch in this paper, I think the existence of China English is a reality. Duringinterpretation, the interpreter does not need to deliberately avoid the influence of Chineseway of thinking and Chinese culture. He should follow the rules of English, and introduceChinese characteristics to the world with standard China English.
