| This report is based on a tour guide interpretation practice at Tangshan Eastern Royal Tombs of the Qing Dynasty.In this activity,the interpreter accompanied a tourist from Canada on a full tour under the guidance of a tour guide,and interpreted the Chinese tour guidewords explained by the tour guide in English.This tour guide interpretation allows the customer to better understand Chinese culture and history,and plays a positive role in the spread of Chinese culture.The author made full preparations before the interpretation activities,including reading relevant books,looking up relevant introductions of scenic spots on the Internet,collecting parallel texts,and making a glossary.After the visit,the author translated the live recording of interpretation into text,which served as the support for writing this report.Through the research and analysis of the transliterated text,the author finds that the main problem in the practice of interpreting is the improper translation of culture-loaded words.These problems are mainly reflected in the cultural untranslatability and linguistic untranslatability.The author believes that this untranslatability is not a complete inability to interpret,but can not be translated directly.Therefore,the author makes a careful analysis of the problems existing in the text under the guidance of Interpretive Theory,and selects the representative examples to illustrate how to solve the problems of improper translation of culture-loaded words by using the corresponding strategies,such as additive translation,free translation,combining repeated information and saving translation.By writing this interpretation practice report,the author deeply reflected on her shortcomings in the process of the interpreting task in order to clarify the direction in future interpreting learning,hoping she could have a better performance in the future interpreting activities.At the same time,the author expects that this interpretation practice report can provide reference for other interpreters in completing similar interpreting tasks. |
