| Ducati is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer,whose products are famous in many countries and regions around the world.The company would have a launch event in Chengdu from September 10 th to 13 th,2021,so it had initiated an invitation for bids in June,2021.Chengdu Yuting Mass Creation Cultural Communication Co.,Ltd was one of the bidders for this project.Entrusted by the company,the author served as the interpreter of the tenderer presentation conference for this project.Based on this remote conference interpreting experience,the author wrote this practice report.In business interpreting,with the strong purpose and cross-cultural awareness,interpreters may present their visibility unconsciously.Therefore,interpreters’ visibility and role in business interpreting in a narrow sense should be paid attention to.The author faced various challenges caused by cultural conflicts and communication obstruction,etc.This report profoundly discusses how to apply strategies such as euphemistic expressions,omission,modification,explanation,creating or interrupting a turn to solve such problems in different contexts under the guidance of three parameters for interpreters’ visibility(“gate-keeper”,“co-interlocutor”,and “coordinator”)proposed by Professor Ren Wen.Through the case study,the author drew the following conclusions: In business interpreting,interpreters should be aware of their visibility and appropriately play the roles of “gate-keeper”,“co-interlocutor”,and “coordinator”.They should adequately filter and process inappropriate topics and expressions,participate in communication when necessary,and adequately coordinate the interaction.In this way,interpreters can ensure that communicative activities can be carried out and promoted smoothly.The purpose of writing this practice report is to provide experience and reference for the author’s future study and let readers have a deeper understanding of interpreters’ visibility in the setting of business interpreting. |
