Analysis Of The Audience Of Conference Interpretation

Interpretation is a kind of dynamic and special inter-cultural communication, which includes the original-language speaker, the interpreter, and the target-language audience. Interpreting is intended for the target language audience, so that the audience exerts great influence on the process of interpreting. The speaker and the interpreter both serve the audience. Only when the audience receives and understands the information can the purpose of communication be achieved. From the perspective of communication, this thesis analyzes in detail the categories, needs, attention, understanding and feedback of the audience. The author also takes some examples from the transcripts of conference interpretation to confirm that the interpreter should adapt to the features and needs of the audience and use necessary tactics in the process of interpreting so that the target language audience could best receive the source language information. Moreover, the interpreter can learn the audience's expectations through their feedback after interpreting, which can help enhance the effects of communication in the interpreter's future task.
