A Practice Report On The Simulated C-E Consecutive Interpreting Of "Jilin Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition"

On August 18 th 2018,“Jilin Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition” was organized in Changchun Shangri-La Hotel,in which five intangible cultural heritages were exhibited,namely Gorlos fabric art,Manchu medicine,Manchu embroidery,Manchu paper-tearing and Manchu paper-cutting.This exhibition offered an opportunity to spread some of Jilin's intangible cultural heritage,to introduce Jilin further to other countries,as culture serves as a soft power in advancing one country's or one province's reputation and development.The author hopes to give a hand in promoting Jilin to be better known by more people,so he chooses this exhibition as the material source of this simulated interpretation.Under the guidance of interpreters who own much experience in this field,the author of this report simulated the process of “Jilin Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition” in form of C-E consecutive interpreting.In this process eight Chinese classmates and two native English speakers were invited as audiences.The simulated process lasted for about two hours.After analyzing the voice record,the author found some factors affecting interpreting quality.Those factors included that the author used too many simple English words,he did not present a smooth interpreting,and he made some redundant expressions in the interpreting process.This report mainly includes four parts,namely task description,source text analysis,problems and solutions.After analyzing the whole simulated interpreting process,the author of this report gives much attention to the problems and provides corresponding solutions.This report focuses on redundancy and takes syntactic linearity,vocabulary building and short pauses as its main solutions.
