Interpretation Project Report For "SCIO’s" Press Conference

The material of this interpretation project is SCIO’s press conference of23, July,2013. This report focuses on C-E interpretation of fuzzy language in SCIO’s press conference. First of all, the author had a C-E consecutive interpreting of this press conference and analyzed the record of the author’s interpreting. Three typical difficulties are founded:(1) large amounts of the degree hedges make the listeners feel confused;(2) the omission of the demonstratives leads to the difficulty of the transformation of sentence structures;(3) it’s hard to express the inner meaning of the abstract concept words.This report chose Sperber&Wilson’s Relevance Theory as the theoretical basis. Under the relevance-theoretic framework, this report analyzed the fuzzy language. With examples, this report proposed three corresponding C-E consecutive interpretation strategies to solve these interpreting difficulties:(1) integrate or switch the degree hedges;(2) add the demonstratives;(3) explain or replace the abstract concept words.From the perspective of the fuzzy language in the government press conference, this report proposed the corresponding specific interpreting strategies under the guidance of the Relevance Theory, which can help the interpreter to deal with this sort of difficulties.
