Interpreting is widely recognized as the most efficient way to achieve mutual understanding in terms of trans-lingual communication. It is much often to see on telecast nowadays that the government officials answer foreign reporters'questions with the presence of interpreters for instantaneous information conveying on a press conference. What is more often to be seen is the plentitude of its application in process of trans-cultural communication- Inter-continental transaction, transnational trade, as well as exchange of science and culture, etc.Beyond its long history, interpreting is not simply a process of message delivering from a source language to a target language, but also a process that actuates cultural evolvement through the interaction of diverse entities. Through analyzing the development of interpreting, the thesis reveals the correlations between cultural globalization and interpreting in the prelude of the thesis.Along with increasing demands of international exchange, economically and politically, interpreting has proved itself in meliorating enormously global connections among different regions. Awareness of cultural ethnocentricity has become a major force that cultivates interpreters'contribution to glocalization evolved from globalization.In the final chapter, specific mode studies are presented and analyzed in providing supporting facts. With different pragmatic focuses, consecutive interpreting and simultaneous interpreting are explicitly discussed to supplement the whole thesis.Eventually, the author verifies cultural evolvement in process of interpreting. Segregation and convergence are the inevitable consequence of frequent cultural exchange. That makes interpreting more like an envoy dealing bilateral communication than a messenger only delivering courier.
