A Report On The Consecutive Interpreting For Geochemical Prospecting Course Of China-ASEAN Mineral Training Program

With the support of the Department of Natural Resources of Guangxi and China-ASEAN Mining Cooperation Secretariat,China-ASEAN Mining Personal Exchanges & Training Center has convened the 8th Geological Prospecting Training Program in Nanning from October 19 to November 17,2019,which has invited fifteen trainees from ASEAN countries.This program was aimed at cultivating excellent prospecting personnel and promoting the mining prospecting cooperation between China and ASEAN countries.As a prospecting method in exploration geochemistry,geochemical exploration was one of the important courses in this program.This course introduced the basic theory and method of geochemical prospecting,which was interpreted by the author.By combining the teaching material and recording of this course,the author has analyzed this consecutive interpretation.This report combines translation variation with the author’s interpreting practice,which covers five chapters.Chapter one talks about the background of the event and task description while chapter two focuses on the pre-task preparation,including long-term and short-term preparation.Case analysis is conducted in the third chapter.Based on the difficulties encountered in the task,the author discusses four practical variation techniques that are workable in interpreting with the guidance of translation variation after selecting representative cases from recording script.Then feedback from clients and the partner,and self-assessment are demonstrated in the fourth chapter.The fifth chapter is the conclusion,which consists of reflection and suggestions based on this interpreting task.Through writing this interpreting report,the author has the following conclusions: 1.In the professional and complex interpretation,the interpreter can extend the glossary list based on keywords from the teaching material.2.In the interpreting,variation techniques like amplification,deleting,condensation and combination are available for dealing with the situation where there are frequent impromptu speech,redundant and repeated information,and specialized content and culture-loaded words.
