Introduction
The Interpretive Theory is one of the theoretical research of interpretation.It is the process of understanding of the sense of the source language text/discourse， “deverbalizing its linguistic form” and expressing the sense and the feeling in the target language.（Lederer 2003：1）[5]Deverbalization is the core of the translation process and is also the core concept of the Interpretive Theory.
1.Inception and Development of the Interpretive Theory
1.1 Inception of the Interpretive Theory.According to Xiao Xiaoyan （肖晓燕2002）[17]， theoretical research on interpretation in western countries could be divided into four stages：a） Pre-research Period （1950s- the early period of the 1960s）； b） Experimental Psychology Period （1960s-the early period of the 1970s）； c） Practitioners’ Period （from the early period of the 1970s to the mid-term of the 1980s）； d） Renewal Period （since the end of the 1980s）.The first two research stages could not be called interpretation research formally because at that time researchers had no good method to guide their research.Furthermore， their research did not touch the key problem of interpretation.Later Seleskovitch and Lederer began to incorporate the findings from conference interpretation into Embodied Philosophy and personal experience， drawing greatly upon cognitive sciences and other disciplines.After more than ten years’ research， a set of theory which was later known as the Interpretive Theory was established.（龔龙生 2008）[11]
1.2 Development of the Interpretive Theory.In 1968 Professor Seleskovitch published her monograph Interpreting for International Conference：Problems of Language and Communication， later translated into English by Stephanie Dailey and Eric.Norman McMillan in 1978.This marks the birth of the Interpretive Theory and the preparation for the further development of the theory.（刘和平 2001b）[14].
In 1984 Seleskovitch and Professor Lederer co-published the book entitled Interpreter pour Traduire1， marking the establishment of the Interpretative Theory.（龚龙生2008）[11] In 1994， Lederer published The Interpretive Model2， later translated into English by Ninon Larche in 2003.That marked the perfection of the Interpretive Theory.（龚龙生2008）[11]
The three books mark the process of the foundation of the Interpretive Theory.The Interpretive Theory plays the important role in Chinese and international interpretation research.The following is the brief introduction to the concepts of the Interpretive Theory.
2 Concepts of the Interpretive Theory
Here it is necessary to discuss three groups of key concepts of the Interpretive Theory—a） Translation through Interpretation； b） Translation Process with Deverbalization as its core； c） Sense， Units of Sense， Cognitive Inputs.（王斌华 2008）[16]
2.1 Translation through Interpretation.The interpretive translation is not the transcoding between two languages.It means to translate or interpret the meaning of the source language text into the target language one completely and accurately.But how could it be done？ What is the translation process？ The other two groups of concepts should be introduced.
2.2 Translation Process with Deverbalization as its Core
2.2.1 Translation Process.In her monograph （Selekscovitch 1978：9）[6]， Professor Selekscovitch mentioned three stages of the translation process which are understanding senses and feeling emotions of the source language text， “deverbalizing its linguistic form” and re-expressing its ideas and emotions in the target language.（Lederer 2003：1）[5]And the Paris School imagined this process to be a triangle.
In 1984， Professor Seleskovitch and Professor Lederer proposed “the triangular model of interpretation”3 （Selekovitch
