Functional Translation Theory Perspective Of Cppcc Press Conference Interpreting Studies

Since taking the reform and opening policy, China has changed rapidly. Going outof the country and having an acquaintance with the world became the commonaspiration of the Chinese people. The press conferences for NPC and CPPCC havebecome a tie of foreign exchange. The interpretation in the press conferences, which canbe interpreted as an action of crossing culture communication, has the characteristics ofdiplomacy and politics. The quality of the interpretation has a direct influence on theworld image of China.Under the guidance of the skopostheorie, this thesis develops from the perspectivesof interpreter, making an analysis of the process of the press conferences for NPC andCPPCC. Using three of the skopostheorie principle, Function plus Loyalty principle andTranslation action theory, we explained the three functions that the interpreter hasduring the whole interpretation procedure: firstly, the interpreter makes the translationbrief before interpreting; secondly, the interpreter designs and analyzes the source text;thirdly, in the process of interpretation, the interpreter harmonizes the relationshipbetween the source text addressor and the target text receiver.In this thesis, I chose the interpretation in the press conferences for NPC andCPPCC as the object of study, and the functional translation theory as the ideology.Through the analysis of examples, we conclude the three functions of the interpreter inthe process of the interpretation. We not only draw inspiration both in theory and reality,but also apply the conclusion to the diplomatic translation.
