Conferenceinterpreting requires interpreters to comprehend and convert information on the spot timelyand accurately, so the requirements for interpreters are very strict. They must graspsufficient background knowledge of the languages, cultures and the cross-culturalcommunication. Other than that, interpreters should also grasp corresponding andapplicable interpreting strategies, to solve problems and complete interpretation workeffectively and successfully.In this thesis, some strategies applied to C-E interpretation in conference interpretingare mainly studied through a detailed analysis of the interpreted text of answers given byWen Jiabao and Yang Jiechi, when they met the press in2012. Typical words and phrases inthe interpreted text are analyzed, and the corresponding interpreting strategies are studiedand summarized.From the analysis, it is found that multiple interpreting strategies like literal translation,free translation, amplification, omission, etc. can be adopted in interpretation, especially ininterpreting some special political language and difficult expressions with Chinesecharacteristics in political conference interpreting. It is hoped that this study may be of helpnot only for C-E interpretation in political conferences, but also for successful interpretationin general.
