Abstract/Summary:
In interpreting activities,fluency is not only an important criterion for evaluating interpreting quality,but also a key factor for listeners to judge interpreters’ performance.Therefore,it is important to reduce and avoid disfluency in interpreting.In this report,the author took the disfluencies of her mock interpreting of the program 100 Days of Hainan Free Trade Port of Dialogue as the analysis objects,because she found that disfluency is the most prominent disadvantage of her interpreting.Her mock interpreting is Chinese-English consecutive interpreting.The author divided this report into five parts,namely: description of the interpreting task,process description,introduction to disfluency,case analysis and conclusion.Based on previous studies,the author divided disfluency into three types,namely pause,repetition and self-repair,and then analyzed them by examples.Through analysis,the author found that pause covers the largest proportion among the three types of disfluency and the occurrence of unfilled pause is far greater than that of filled pause.Besides,both retrospective repetitions and prospective repetitions occur in the output,and both error repairs and appropriateness repairs appear as well.As for the triggers of these disfluency phenomena,they are: efforts to deverbalize and improve the appropriacy of target language,lack of effective language monitoring,competence deficiency of dealing with source language with high information density,poor figure interpreting capacity,and efforts to buy time for consideration and error correction.Hence,in order to reduce and avoid disfluency,the interpreter should enhance language competence and language monitoring,and improve the skill of interpreting high-density information,interpreting figures and deverbalization.
