| Based on the “Opening Ceremony of the 2020 World Artificial Intelligence Conference”(WAIC),this simulated simultaneous interpretating(SI)training aims to achieve the following objectives: First,to explore difficulties in the practice and obstacles of television SI;second,to analyse the quality of interpretation,hence providing improved strategies and solutions.In reality,difficulties of television SI manifest themselves on linguistic and non-linguistic aspects,in particular,high information density and redundancy of the source language,articulation failures and accents of the speakers,as well as negative effects of PPT and knowledge deficiency of the interpreter.In addition,causes and solutions to interpretation quality in the practice are dissected by disclosing the distinctive nature of television SI.It is found that repetition,proper segmentation,supplementation and conversion are critical measures to enhance interpretation quality and that ensuring thorough preparation before engaging in any SI activities and enhancing self-resistance ability extensively secure the articulation of interpretation.The paper concludes with outlook and suggestions to the future of exercising artificial intelligence as an auxiliary means for television SI. |
