A Report On The Translation Of White Paper On Prevention Of Karoshi [2021 Version]

With the deepening of globalization and China’s opening to the outside world,more and more foreigners are willing to come to China to learn about its culture and history.For them,visiting museums is an effective and practical approach to achieving this aim.On June 16 th,2022,the author of this report finished the interpreting task at the Hubei Provincial Museum to share the charm of the culture of Hubei.Due to its unique working site,the museum interpreting texts enjoy its features such as abundant terminologies,archaic expressions and quotations,which pose a great challenge to the interpreter.The author takes the texts of this interpreting task as an example to analyze the manifestation of the interpreter’s visibility consciousness.In this way,the author wants to explore how the interpreter manifested her visibility consciousness in the interpreting task.To be specific,what roles did the interpreter mainly play in exerting visibility? Moreover,are there any other non-verbal techniques available for the interpreter to manifest his or her visibility consciousness except for interpreting techniques?Based on the transcripts and Ren Wen’s interpreter’s visibility consciousness theory,the author concluded that the interpreter in this museum interpreting task could use verbal and non-verbal methods to manifest her visibility consciousness to facilitate communications.Second,the interpreter mainly acts as an information gatekeeper,a conversation interlocutor,and a communication coordinator in the interpreting task.Third,except for interpreting techniques,the interpreter can adjust the text ownership and adopt some body language or para-language to facilitate the conversations and improve the tourist’s visiting experience.This report is written to shed some light on the studies in the future and guide student interpreters.
