15、 exchange, relevant experts visited our museum. The teacher at the International Office in our school contacted him to implement this project. This interpreting project is provided by him for interpreting services for experts and scholars, which is difficult and professional. 1.2 Task contents

16、 The interpretation practice project lasted about 1 hour, mainly in Chinese to English, with a small amount of English to Chinese interpretation. Based on the “2018 China-UK City Forum” , it helps the development of Xiong’an New Area, shares and exchanges advanced experiences. This interpreting pra

17、ctice project is to accompany foreign experts to visit the biological specimens in the museum, and to provide interpreting services for the explanations of the lecturers, so that foreign experts can better understand the biology academic achievements and humanistic qualities of Hebei University prom

18、oting the smooth progress of the forum, and devoting to the Xiong'an New Area. This interpreting practice project is completed by himself. Its content involves biological knowledge and many professional terms. It is highly professional and difficult. 1.3 The purpose and significance of the proje

19、ct The theme of the forum was "Assisting Xiong’an to Realize the Dream of a World-Class Future City". It was organized by the British Embassy in China and Hebei University to provide an ideal platform for the exchange of modern city concepts and advanced experiences between China and the UK. Furthe

20、r deepen cooperation between the two sides. The goal of this museum visit and exchange activity is to enable the experts and scholars of all countries to deeply understand the academic level, humanistic quality and local history and culture of the school by visiting the museum's biological achievem

21、ents and academic research projects in the context of the forum. In-depth exchanges and sharing of academic views, providing a wide range of ideas for the discussion and interaction of "Building a Green Wisdom Future City" and "Sharing the Best Practices of Green Wisdom Infrastructure Construction P

22、rojects", with a view to providing reference for the planning and construction of Xiong’an New Area experience. This interpretation practice is mainly guided by the German functionalism scholar Vermeer's teleology, using the method of translation and translation to help interpreter practice. The wr

23、iter interpreted the contents of the lecturer through on-site accompanying interpreting, and the interviews between the visitors and the interpreters. The author analyzes and studies the interpreting practice activities through post-translation and compilation of the recordings, sums up the charact

24、eristics and skills of the interpreting of the project, and provides references for related interpreting work. Chapter 2 Process Description 2.1 Pre-task description When the author received the task of interpretation, he knew that the translation of the project was about the introduction of

25、biological specimens and biological information in the exhibition area of the museum. It covers the relevant background knowledge and terminology of biology majors. In the process of pre-translation preparation, the author searched a large number of biological translation literature in the field of

26、biological science for translation, sorted out and memorized relevant professional and background knowledge. This part is also a difficulty for terms and vocabulary. The author sorted out and reserved the words by looking up the professional dictionaries of biology and collecting the biological word

27、s on the Internet. At the same time, relevant parallel texts were searched to help practice, and relevant translation theories represented by Skopos theory were searched to guide this practice, and teachers and relevant staff were consulted in time to make full preparations for translation. 2.2 I

28、n-task description After finishing the relevant works before translation, the author rushed to the site of the activity in advance to contact with the speaker, to understand the site of the activity in the museum and the speaker. In the field of translation, the author interprets the introduction d

29、escribed by the speaker by using the professional knowledge, terminology and various translation skills reserved before translation. In the process, there would be many professional contents. During the site, visitors could easily understand the biological scientific research achievements of our sch

30、ool through multiple inquiries and multi-angle explanations. During the activity, many visitors would put forward their own opinions and questions. The author communicated with the speaker about these questions to reply the visitors, so as to get effective communication and promote the smooth progre

31、ss of the activity. 2.3 After-task description After the accompanying interpretation, the author made the live recording into a script in time. Through recording the real situation of the scene, the author actively verifies the treatment of professional terms in the process of accompanying inter

32、pretation, and summarizes the appropriate and inappropriate term translation. Moreover, the author reflects on the accompanying interpretation strategies used in the field of interpretation, so as to improve the accuracy of on-site accompanying interpretation and effectively convey professional cont

33、ents. At last, the author communicated with the entrusting party, the on-site speaker and the staff of the practice, and gave feedback to the practice. The author sums up the relevant problems in this interpretation practice and has accumulated a lot of practical experience in relevant fields. Chap

34、ter 3 Preparations before Interpreting As far as translation types are concerned, this task is accompanying interpretation. Accompanying interpreters are required to have good bilingual conversion ability and be able to deal with the translations of exhibits in a vivid and flexible way according

35、to the actual situation of the site. Interpreters are required to be able to resist pressure to a certain extent. As it is mainly for the translation of museum biological area, this translation task will involve a large number of biological and culture-related vocabulary. Some culture-loaded words m

36、ay be difficult for foreigners to understand. Therefore, in preparation for this task, the author consulted many scientific books on biology, as well as translations of relevant and cultural information. He also asked the speaker of the museum of Hebei university for some terminology to ensure that

37、his explanation was correct, concise and easy to understand. Generally speaking, the preparation of this task consists of two parts: theoretical preparation and practical preparation. 3.1 Theoretical preparation Theory can guide practice and play an important role in the whole process of transla

38、tion. It can improve translators' control of time efficiency, cross-cultural communication ability and translation quality. In order to successfully complete this task, his tutor, who has rich experience in this field, suggested him to take a look at Skopos theory, which would help him to convey the

39、 meaning of the exhibits to the audience. Thanks to his advice, he benefited a lot. In 1968, translation scholar Otto Kardt proposed that "translation" should be widely used as a general term, including written and oral translation. Christian Nord points out in her book German translation studies t

40、hat "translation" is a purposeful activity. Influenced by her views on translation, the author reconsidered the purpose of this task. The purpose of this mission is to allow the foreign visiting team to have a more comprehensive understanding of the biological exhibits in the museum of Hebei univer

41、sity, so as to achieve the goal of cultural exchange and communication. In order to achieve this goal, he choose informative text as the main type of translation, and take free translation as the main method, omitting some words that are specific to the text. Through free translation, he can better

42、convey the meaning of culture-loaded words to visitors accurately. At the same time, the theory inspired me to pay close attention to the interaction and contact with the audience in the process of translation, so as to carry out translation work more effectively. 3.2 Practical preparation The p

43、reparation of translation is very important in the process of translation, and the quality of the preparation directly affects the effect of the translation site. The preparation before translation is quite complicated, which requires a strict and meticulous prediction of the situation on the transl

44、ation site. Looking up professional vocabulary and other information that may be involved in the translation process in advance. This task is the accompanying interpreter in the biological area of the museum. After receiving the project, the author communicated with the museum's speaker before the t

45、ranslation. The speaker provided me with the process of the visit, matters needing attention, the situation of the visitors and the general direction of the possible professional vocabulary, which provided the author with a framework before the translation. In view of these situations, the author so

46、rted out the overall process, listed the possible situations, and checked the relevant questions of the accompanying interpretation in the museum. He also searched for official translations of biological terms, proper terms and culture-loaded words in advance. He browsed the English websites of nati

47、onal and local museums to look for official and similar translations and made a glossary. The visiting experts mainly come from Britain, the United States, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other countries. Under the guidance of Skopos theory, he adopted the method of interpretation to make a vivid ex

48、planation of the exhibits. When encountering some problems which are not important and difficult to understand , he uses the method of omission to make the interpreting process effective. Chapter 4 Case Analyses 4.1 Problems in the practice of interpretation The overall task of the interpretati

49、on went smoothly. However, in the process of accompanying the interpretation, the author encountered many practical difficulties and obstacles. The following is the author's analysis of the problems encountered in this interpretation after the completion of the task. Firstly, a limited grasp of the

50、 professional field. This task involves the biological specialty, which is very professional. Due to the wide range of topics and contents involved in the interpretation activities, it is difficult for the interpreter to be fully proficient in the interpreting field within the limited preparation ti

51、me. Therefore, it is necessary to communicate with the speaker in advance and deal with the number of professional terms and culture-loaded words to achieve efficient interpretation. In the process of interpreting, the author encountered many biological terms, names of plants and animals and culture

52、-loaded words related to living things, which were difficult for him. This activity referred to the English name and introduction of the exhibition area. However, due to the limited professional knowledge in the biological field, he may encounter some unknown contents in the interpretation process.

53、 Case 1 Speaker: 還有這邊是一些直翅目的昆蟲，我們現(xiàn)在的校長就是研究這一類的。 Interpreter: Here are also some insects with straight wings. Our president majors in this area now. Analysis: In this sentence, a biological term "orthoptera" is mentioned, which is not involved in the preparations before interpreting process. Due

54、 to the lack of relevant professional vocabulary reserve, leading to the translation of professional terms. The correct translation of this technical term should be "orthoptera". Case 2 Speaker：這邊的是一些竹螟類，很擅長隱蔽，生活在竹子上,不容易被發(fā)現(xiàn)。 Interpreter: Here are some bamboo insects. They are good at concealment

55、living on bamboo. It is not easy to discover them. Analysis：A technical term for the classification of insects is "bamboo borer", which refers to the insects that stick to bamboo. In the process of interpreting, the author only interpreted it into bamboo insects, which is different from the actual

56、meaning. The correct translation of this word is "bamboo borer". Secondly, the difficulties in language transformation. Interpretation is a process of bilingual transformation, and there are many differences between the two languages in many aspects, such as grammar, vocabulary and syntax. Interpre

57、ting requires memorizing quickly and switching to another language in a short time, which puts the author under great psychological pressure in the process of translation. In many cases, due to the short reaction time, the train of thought is not clear enough, there are some mistakes in tense, vocab

58、ulary choice and sentence structure and so on. Case 3 Speaker：這些獅子是來自保定動物園，是咱們老師帶著學生一起做的。它們是一對兒，一雄一雌。 Interpreter：These lions are from Baoding Zoo. They are a pair, the male one, and the female one made by teachers and students. Analysis: The source language refers to the lion model made by the

59、teacher and the students together. The author did not express the meaning of the "lead" in the interpretation process, but interpreted it into the "teacher and the students" together. In the interpreting process did not have a good grasp of the logic of the good speaker caused errors. Case 4 Speak

60、er：保定動物園將這兩只獅子捐贈予我們學校。 Interpreter: The Baoding zoo donates them to our school. Analysis：This is an obvious tense error. The lion was given to our school by the public security bureau. The author in the process of processing, because of the psychological factors of tension, ignored the tense probl

61、em. Thirdly, insufficient understanding of cultural background knowledge. In the process of interpreting, the two languages will involve the cultural differences between the two sides, which are mainly reflected in history, customs, religion, social system and concepts, etc., which are all obstacle

62、s in the process of interpretation and also the challenges that interpreters need to face. The most common ones, such as “頂戴花翎”，“把件”，“羽化升仙”, are loaded with profound meanings and cannot be interpreted accurately to visitors in a short time. Case 5 Speaker：這個是浮游，它的壽命非常短暫，其特點是朝生暮死。 Interpreter：This

63、 is plankton, which has a very short life , born in the morning and died in the night. Analysis: Here, there is a Chinese idiom “朝生暮死”, which the author has not collected in previous accumulation. Due to the limited time for translation, the author adopted the literal translation method to express

64、its meaning. After the translation, the author searched the word "ephemeral", meaning “朝生暮死”. This translation is concise and accurate. Case 6 Speaker：因為蟬在底下生活十幾年的時間，然后會破土而出，羽化而升天。這就算對于重生的一種寄予吧。 Interpreter：Because it lives under the ground for more than ten years, then it fly out from the soil.

65、This is the meaning for the reborn. Analysis：A written language like “寄予”appeared here. When the author understood the meaning of the word, he mistakenly thought it was the meaning of "meaning", so he chose the word "meaning". It actually means to give a lot of hope.The correct interpretation is "

66、hope", means great expectations. 4.2 Strategies in interpreting practice The following cases are all from this interpretation practice, and these strategies are applied by the author in this task. 4.2.1 Addition Strategy Due to the different ways of thinking and expression habits between English and Chinese, some words and short sentences are added in the interpreting process, which can more accurately express the meaning in the source language and help the interpreter to straighten out
