The Choice Of SI Strategies In The Light Of The Dynamics Of Adaptability

With the promotion of reform and opening up policy, the communication and cooperation between China and other parts of the world have become closer and closer. China has begun attending various international conferences. While English remains playing a leading role in the international stage, the status of Chinese has grown higher and higher. Therefore, nowadays, there is a great need for translators and interpreters between Chinese and English.Simultaneous Interpreting (SI), for its advantages of being able to translate the source language almost at the same time with speaker, and even being able to interpreting into several different languages at the same time, has been widely used in the international conferences. As a result, more and more Chinese interpreters and scholars have devoted themselves in the study of English-Chinese SI in order to cultivate more excellent SI interpreters.In this thesis, the author will study and analyze the strategies using process in SI from the perspective of Dynamics of Adaptability which belongs to Theory of Adaptation. Through the analysis on the corpus taken from Secretary-General of UN Ban Ki-Moon’s speech on the Expo2010Shanghai China Summit Forum, the author tried to find the relationship between strategy choosing and Dynamics of Adaptability.From the study, it turns out that the nine strategies in Simultaneous Interpreting are the results of adapting to the time limit, context and linguistic linearity of the two languages. Time, context and linearity interrelate and interact with each other during SI process. Only by choosing the right and proper strategy and adapting to these three elements properly can the interpreters stride the obstacles and difficulties and present the high-quality interpreting to the audience.
