Sight Translation And Reconstruction Of Meaning In English To Chinese Consecutive Interpreting

In consecutive interpreting, when an interpreter can reorganize the notes and take an active position in shifting the sentence components. The notes will be more logical to read, which is helpful to a fluent and accurate interpretation. In this paper, the participants in two groups listened to the English to Chinese listening passage and interpreted it with the help of their note-taking. By comparing record, notes and performance of the participants of two groups the thesis reached a result. Efforts were made to identify and characterize possible connections between reconstruction of meaning based on notes and application of sight translation techniques in shifting syntactic elements in CI.
