Causes of Redundancy and Coping Tactics in English-Chinese Consecutive Interpreting --A Case Study of the Mock Conference of Ian Newton’s “Refugees under the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract
In the process of English-Chinese consecutive interpreting, the target language should be fluent, concise and in line with the language expression habits. However, due to the influence of various factors, there will be a lot of redundancy, so that the time of the translation will exceed the time of the original text, which will affect the quality and efficiency of consecutive interpreting. This thesis is a case study of the mock conference of Ian Newton’s “Refugees under The COVID-19 Pandemic”, which analyzes the redundancy phenomenon in the case, studies the causes and relevant coping tactics, and provides the basis for interpreting practice, effectively avoiding the recurrence of this situation, presenting a more concise and clear translation language, and further improving the quality of interpreting.
