口译实际上是一种跨语言、跨文化交际的行为。口译应遵循“达意”原则和“人文原则”。对蕴涵文化意义的语言的灵活使用是口译的关键、语用的对等是口译的最终目的。为达到这个目标,译员须保持高度的文化意识、领悟礼貌准则等。同时,在口译中,适当使用“不对等”以达成口译的最终目标,并完成口译的基本功能。本文对在口译中为完成其语用功能可能会出现的翻译不对等模型进行了阐释,并期待帮助驱逐译员的“对等”意识,从而成功地完成口译任务。 Interpreting is actually a cross-language, cross-cultural communication. Interpretation should follow the “principle of” and “principle of humanity.” The flexible use of implicit cultural meanings is the key to interpreting, and pragmatic equivalence is the ultimate goal of interpreting. To achieve this goal, translators should maintain a high degree of cultural awareness and understand politeness standards. In the meantime, in interpreting, it is appropriate to use “no equivalence ” to achieve the ultimate goal of interpretation and accomplish the basic functions of interpretation. This article explains the model of translation inequality that may emerge in interpreting to fulfill its pragmatic function and looks forward to helping to expel the “peer ” consciousness of translators so as to successfully accomplish the task of interpretation.
