本研究以30名中级口译学员为受试对象,展开组内(有无隐喻的两篇文本视译)与组间(有无背景知识的两组受试)对比。研究运用三角验证重点考察视译评估成绩和录音转写数据,分析时结合问卷与采访。研究显示,隐喻很大程度上增加了视译难度;另一方面,背景知识有助于降低隐喻视译的难度。实验结果为英汉隐喻视译过程提供了新的解释,对口译教学有指导意义。 In this study, 30 intermediate-level interpreters were used as subjects to compare the two groups (with or without metaphorical translation) and the inter-group (with or without background knowledge). The research uses the key points of the triangle verification to examine the translator’s assessment scores and transcribing data. In the analysis, the questionnaire and interview are combined. Studies have shown that metaphor greatly increases the difficulty of visual interpretation; on the other hand, background knowledge helps to reduce the difficulty of metaphor visual interpretation. The experimental results provide a new explanation for the English-Chinese metaphor visual interpretation process, which is instructive for interpreting teaching.
