Interpreting Practice Report On Transformation Of Development Orientation For Citizenship Education: Future-oriented Citizenship Education

This thesis is presented in the format of practice report which is based on the real interpretation experience of the author. This report based on the author ’s experience as the interpreter for Professor Lee Rong’an who has given a speech on citizenship education at the first Xinjiang Normal University international seminar on “Multiculturalism and Education”. The author summarizes the problems occurring during the interpreting, combining with the author’s own specialized knowledge and relevant interpreting theory, in order to guide the author ’s study and practice in the future.This report consists of five parts. The first part states a brief introduction of the interpreting task and its background information. The second part describes the author ’s preparation for the interpreting in detail, including collecting background knowledge, text translation, analysis of the speaker’s linguistic features, making glossary and forecasting problems. The third part comes up with the research on the Interpretive Theory. The main idea of the Interpretive Theory is that it gets rid of the formal correspondence but at the same time put emphasis on the meaning correspondence. It is applied in most interpreting occasions. The fourth part elaborates how the Interpretive Theory is applied in this interpreting task through interpretation on textual level, deverbalization and cognitive complement. In the last part, the author reflects seriously about this conference interpreting, summing up three problems, inadequate preparation, omitting and even misinterpreting, deficiencies in the application of the Interpretive Theory and improper identity of interpreter. Meanwhile the author gets a new understanding of study in the future. Both in the fourth and the fifth part, the author makes an analysis of many real examples during the interpreting.
