A Report On The Simulated E-C Consecutive Interpreting Of The CSIS Conference On Electric Vehicles

In recent years,electric vehicles have undergone rapid developments both at home and abroad.An increasing number of people are considering buying an electric car due to the many advertised benefits.For this reason,the information about electric vehicles will be important for people to know more about this field.This report is based on the CSIS Conference on electric vehicles,where experts in this area gathered to discuss updated information and policies on electric vehicles.The interpreting task requires not only proficiency in both English and Chinese but also a deep understanding of this field.This study illustrates the use of numerous additional ways to apply the functional equivalence theory to English-Chinese interpreting from the viewpoint of that theory.This idea places a high value on the audience’s reaction and calls for the interpreter to put themselves in their position,During the exercise,the interpreter ran into four main issues:idioms,lengthy sentences with interjections,complex sentences,and implications.However,the interpreter encountered additional challenges like repetition,quick delivery,and terminology.The interpreter used four matching tactics to address the four issues,guided by the functional equivalence theory,including paraphrasing for idioms,segmenting for lengthy phrases with interjections,using syntactic linearity for complicated sentences,and explaining for implications.The interpreter sincerely hopes that this report can contribute to other people’s interpreting tasks,especially some practices in the area of electric vehicles.What’s more,the interpreter wishes that this report can provide some insights and references for such kind of conference interpreting in the future.
