A Study Of The Conversion Strategies Between Listening And Note-Taking In English-Chinese Consecutive Interpreting

This paper focuses on the pattern of energy allocation under Daniel Gile's Effort Model as the main guiding theory and attempts to analyze the relationship between listening and note-taking by combining the English to Chinese consecutive interpreting of the 3rd Translation&Interpreting Contest for Postgraduates.The problems to be solved in this paper include:the obstacles between listening and note-taking in English-Chinese consecutive interpreting,and the specific strategies that can be adopted to combine the listening and note-taking.Firstly,the author sums up the obstacles between listening and note-taking in English-Chinese consecutive interpreting through data analysis and interviews:the irrational distribution of listening and note-taking;confusion of logic;inability to capture the key information;lack of optimization of note-taking.Secondly,this paper proposes effective conversion strategies by connecting with the obstacles and bilingual differences:using abbreviations and symbols;finding signposts;recording notional words;selecting vertical layout.The innovations of this paper are:1)Focusing the study of note-taking on English-Chinese consecutive interpreting;2)Putting forward four more detailed conversion strategies between listening and note-taking in English-Chinese consecutive interpreting,breaking through the previous general note-taking strategies.The study has a certain guiding significance for the study of future interpretation notes.It has a referential significance for future interpreting practices.
