An Interpreting Report On The "Introduction To HRP System"

This is a practical report on one of the author's consecutive interpreting experiences,whose resource is from the “Introduction to HRP System” held by a software technology company in Zhengzhou.The main listeners are the delegates from its potential foreign partner.This interpreting aims to interpret the detailed introduction to HRP system,including general solution,demand design of main business,budget system and accounting system,and help the company reach an agreement with its foreign partner and sign the contract.The contents of this interpreting belong to scientific and technical style,in the fields of software and accounting,which attracts the author a lot.But it's the author's first time to interpret the relevant contents,and the science and technology project requires the interpreting to be precise and clear with accurate expression of its complicated logical relationship in it,so this interpreting is challenging.This report takes this experience as the analyzing object and takes an analysis into a variety of problems which are likely to have in the Chinese-English consecutive interpreting of software-related and finance-related subjects.To solve these problems,the author probes into relevant interpreting tactics and solutions.Through the pre-interpreting preparation,interpreting,reflections after interpreting and case study,the author's interpreting experience,abilities and skills have been fully enhanced.This report describes the whole process including project introduction,interpreting process,case study and self-conclusion.Besides,the interpreting process contains the preparation,interpreting and reflections.For science and technology project,normalization and standardization are important,so preparation is the key for interpreting.Accuracy of interpreting can be achieved as long as interpreters acquires the professional terms in the field during preparation period.Besides terms,it's also necessary to study the basic relevant professional knowledge to help figure out the logical relationship in the source language.Thanks to study of the accounting terms and basic knowledge the author acquired during preparation period,the author is able to accurately express the speaker's speech and key points.Therefore,the study of normalized and standardized terms during preparation is beneficial for interpreting.The author takes “skopos theory” as the guidance during interpreting.Technical materials ask the interpreting to be accurate in contents and clear in logic,so the author mainly uses literal translation,linear interpreting,deletion,additional translation and reconstruction of sentences to complete this interpreting.In this project,the contents of the speaker is typically science and technology literature with loose sentence structure,but clear logic within,so while interpreting,the author tries to avoid blurry and loose expression and unclear logic.Based on the understanding of source language,the interpreting work of science and technology project can be well done with flexible translation skills.In the part of interpreting and case analysis,several typical examples are selected for textual analysis and discussion from multiple perspectives including terms,passive voice translation,single words and repeated words,linear interpreting,deletion,reconstruction of sentences,misunderstand and missing information,and the author makes a detailed summary of the gains and losses of this interpreting experience.The author gains a lot from this interpreting experience.On the one hand,the author more deeply acknowledges the professional interpreting work,on the other hand,the author realizes the differences and the road to being a mature interpreter.Combining with own experience and mistakes,the author is going to be stricter with himself and work harder to become an excellent interpreter.Meanwhile,it's hoped that some cases and strategies in this interpreting report can make a guide to future interpreting learners and offer study materials for the scholars in this field.
