Interpreting Skills (口译技能)Read the following presentation about discourse analysis and try tounderstand the four speech types and know how to identify the main ideasof the source text. Then complete the following task:1. Listen to the passage, “My first day in New York”, and answer thefollowing questions:1). When did the author first arrive in the US2). What did the author do on the way to his hotel3). Where did the author get something to eat after his friend had left4). Why couldn’t he have what he really wanted at the restaurant5). What did the author do after dinner2. Listen to the passage again and try to catch more details, and thenretell the story in your own words.Decoding Training (II): Discourse Analysis（语篇分析）Interpreting is to “understand and make understood”. To interpret the speech, one must first understand the message of the speech. However, comprehension（理解）of the source discourse goes beyond the simple recognition of words and linguistic structures. The interpreter shall make an analysis of the source discourse. More importantly, the interpreter shall identify（识别）the speech type and know how to identify the main ideas of the original speeches.Identification of the Speech TypesSpeeches are diversified serving different occasions and purposes. It will be of great help to the interpreters if they know the speaker’s style. In most cases, speechesare prepared beforehand. Therefore, a study of the different types of writing helps an interpreter identify the main idea of a given speech. Following are the basic types of writing.1. Descriptive WritingDescriptive（描述性的）writing involves a great deal of detailed information. A descriptive discussion aimed at providing details of an event, a scene, a procedure, or a situation.This speech type demands a thorough background investigation of the speaker and the relevant situation by the interpreter.2. Narrative WritingNarrative（叙述性的）writing focuses on the development of events. There is no doubt that the interpreter should be very sensitive to dates, time phrases, and verb tenses when a narrative speech is dealt with.3. Expositive WritingExpositive（说明性的）writing deals with its subject matter in such orders as chronological, spatial, comparison, and definition. It would be to the advantage of the interpreter to conduct a background investigation of the speaker and the situation, for that would provide the interpreter with not only the necessary glossary but also the speaker’s standpoint（立场）.4. Persuasive WritingPersuasive（劝说性的）writers always want to make their arguments clear, strong and convincing. When the purpose is to convince, writers of persuasive writing mainly employ two techniques -- induction（归纳）and deduction（推论）. Inductive writing starts with specific examples or points to draw a general conclusion, while deductive writing illustrates its thesis at first and then supports and reinforces the thesis through specific examples or subordinate ideas.Identification of the Main IdeasIn the context of interpreting, the main ideas of the source speech can be identified at the sentence level and at the discourse level. Priority should always be attached to identifying the main idea at the sentence level. We argue that identification of main ideas be done on the basis of sentences. Training in identifying the main ideas in interpreting should naturally take place first at the sentence level.1. Sentence LevelThe most important task for an interpreter to identify the main ideas at the sentence level is to discern (洞悉） the subject, verb and object (SVO). It is highly significant for the interpreter to catch the SVO of the sentence while listening to the source text, as the SVO usually carries the major information of the sentence. For example, when listening to “The best way to carry money while traveling is to have a major credit card”, the interpreter is expected to catch “The best way is to have a credit card.”If the interpreter is able to catch the SVO of the sentence, he then will produce a complete sentence with the major information in the target language.2. Discourse LevelThere are also some skills an interpreter might employ on different occasions for grasping the gist（要点）of a speech at the discourse level. In a well-organized speech, the speaker usually explains his point in the first few sentences. Therefore, one of the ways to get the main idea of a speech is to attach priority to the beginning of the speech. Secondly, if the interpreter encounters a speech that is inductively constructed, the interpreter should, to the best of their ability, conduct a study of the speaker's background and viewpoints so that they can follow the speaker's logical guidelines.II.

通过讲授口译基本理论、口译背景知识以及对学生进行口译基本技巧的训练，使学生初步掌握口译程序和基本技巧，初步学会口译记忆方法、口译笔记、口头概述、口译基本策略，培养学生关心时事信息意识，注意积累知识；培养学生的话语分析能力，提高学生的逻辑思维能力、语言组织能力和双语表达能力，提高学生跨文化交际的能力和英、汉两种语言互译的能力，为进入下一阶段同声传译训练打下扎实的基础。

三、课程教学目标通过英语口译课程的学习使英语三年级学生了解口译的基本理论和连续传译的技能，学习英语口译的口译记忆方法、口头概述、口译笔记及公共演讲技巧，掌握口译的基本原则和技巧，使学生能较准确、流畅地进行各种公开场合讲话发言的汉英、英汉对译，能较好地承担生活接待和导游等口译任务。

要胜任口译工作，译员必须在听说读写译五个方面全面发展，五种能力缺一不可。

只有这五项技能都达到一定水准，才能承担一定程度的口译工作。

通过一学期32学时的训练之后，学生应能用记忆并在笔记的帮助下一次性记住50个单词左右的文本并用基本准确流畅的中文或英语进行口译。

四、教学方法与手段本课程主要以培养学生实际操作和应用本领为目标，所以课堂也尽量为学生创造学以致用的机会。

本课程主要操练方法如下：1.课堂口头小测布置学生每节课后复习学习过的单词句子，下节课小测，以口头汉译英方式进行。

督促学生养成及时复习的好习惯，同时培养即时快速的现场反应感。

2.团队合作课堂上经常以2至3人小组进行协作训练，课后自由组合6人或者3人小组，分别担任演讲者、口译员和评价者的角色，进行持续的练习。

教师通过详细询问小组活动情况以及抽调其中数组在全班演示，达到鼓励学生不断自我训练的目的。
