On the Notes of Interpretation

Interpretation is a communicative process which faithfully and orally transfer the information from one language to another (MeiDeMing，2006：6). We are living in a world featured with increasing intercultural communication, and interpretation serves as an effective role to bridge the language and cultural gap. As a phenomenon or an activity, interpretation has a long history, dating back to the early period of human society, but researches on it and the importance of the notes have long been ignored. This paper will discuss the necessity of notes and the method of writing notes.

Many people believe that: to be a qualified workers, interpreter must be in listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation five all-round development, five abilities are short of one cannot. But in reality, the study and practice of, it is not the case. Once the English professional senior student had a small range of survey. The respondents were already after a semester alternate interpretation of the study, and in the usual practice more outstanding person. Research topic is \"interpretation\" given the stumbling block, the options were: A. can keep up with the listening B. don’t understand accurately C. has difficulties in expressing D. the notes are not accurate. Of the questioned 40 students have 28 students think that as long as can guarantee the accuracy of the notes, they can basic accurately express the speaker's meaning. This See, notes, often is a headache for beginners a stumbling block. So, for starters, how to do well the note in interpretation?

First of all ，the necessity of interpretation notes Interpreting is a translation form different from the written translation .It has the characteristics of its own \"through the oral expression form, will hear information quickly and accurately by a kind of language converted into another language, and then reach the purpose of information transmission and the exchange of communication, is a human in cross-cultural communication activities across the nation in a basic depend on language communication tools.\" (MeiDeMing, 2000:6) Influenced by the limited time ,site and other factors , interpreters must possess a sound language proficiency, profound knowledge, quick thinking, the accurate understanding ability, fluent expression ability and the powerful memory. However, practice proves that to become a qualified interpreter, a good memory is obviously a great help in order to ensure the smoothness of the talk, the logic and integrity, even continuous speech of a few minutes or more than 10 minutes, especially when the speaker suddenly mentioned a series of bigger Numbers, or place name. And if in the process of interpreting, interpreter on one hand to keep the memory to the speaker's words, on the other hand, to be exact geographic discourses, the logic of the article, and so on, this is no doubt the interpreter of the burden of aggravating brain, in that case, an interpreter is difficult to accomplish the task well. Therefore, notes, become their own memory's right-hand , and in the study and practice of the process, master and form a simple and effective interpretation system of notes, becomes a reliable guarantee of the interpretation .

Second, the standard of the note in interpretation Notes is the general record the interpreter used in order to guarantee the smooth interpretation. Different from

the general dictation and shorthand, it is a very personalized activities. Because the note in interpretation for complete interpretation only on the spot, the interpreting activities help once completed, notes will lose function. Notes have the personalized, temporary nature. Notes are the carrier of memory contents, but not of the text information. The role of the notes is that in the records help interpreters concentration, in the course of translation for the reminder. In view of the note in interpretation, although the functions and characteristics of interpreting notes is a very personalized activities, but there are still some common standards, such as the quickness of notes, logical organization and the accuracy of the information. Quickness of note is that an interpreter use the least expensive time to get the most standard record. Organization is to point to an interpreter should first source information of logical analysis, can one, distinct record into notes. Accuracy is to point to note should keep source of information accurately and the integrity of the information, especially in record Numbers and names, not involving random or word-for-word without his own initiative. on the more can't \"reigned translation\" source information.

Third, interpretation notes format In order to reach the standard requirement, besides the note in interpretation symbols, some people have such a problem, that is whether to use the source language or the target language . According to FengJianZhong: \"there is no absolute rule on whether the notes should be taken in the target language or the source language。It depends on the preference of individual interpreters. In reality，however，interpreters tend to use both languages interchangeably.”according to the teaching practice and the experience: when meet the Vocabulary that can't think up some notes, they don't waste time to think. And especially when digital and name met, the best way is to use the purpose language to make notes, so that will not waste time to go for the transformation of the two languages, also won't affect the fluency of interpretation.

Fourth, interpretation of symbols system and abbreviations notes .One of the standard note in interpretation is to ensure the quickness of notes. How to effectively improve the speed of the note, this is a common problem many beginners faced. To achieve this goal, interpreter should do a little note in stroke; try to write the symbols or acronyms to replace lengthy source information. Sign system of many symbols, such as arrows, mathematical symbols, punctuation, and some of the other symbols. Arrows such as↓can represents \"down, and reduce, worsening, demotion\"↑means \"growth, expand and improve, strengthen, rise, promoted\"←can represents \"comes from, imports, receive, return to\"；→\"export, output and scored, go abroad, arrived, give in to\" etc. Mathematical symbols such as\"＋\"Can say \"plus, in addition, besides\";\"－\"can be said \"minus, lack of, etc; \"×\" means \" Wrong, wrong, bad, notorious\";\"means\"because\";\"\"\"so,therefore,asaresult\"ect.Punctuationas\":\"express\"Problem,ask questions\"; other sighs such as \"√\"can mean \"right ,good ,famous ,agree \"etc;\"⊙\"can show \"The meeting ,Conference ,Discussions negotiations \";\"o\" can say\" people\";\"∧\"means\" Leadership, management \\"leader\" can be noted as\"∧o\" Abbreviations is frequently used in interpretation. A large number of using abbreviations not only can greatly increase the speed of the notes, but also can improve the accuracy of the note, because of the target language used to express in the

translation can abbreviations prompts interpreter .Abbreviations such as: UN: the united nations; APEC :Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation; CPC: the communist Party of China; IT: Information Technology. In fact interpreter in the usual learning and the practice process will run into a lot of signs and abbreviations, at any time interpreter should pay more attention to, be a willing heart. The development of its own notes symbol system has no unified fixed mode, both for their own development, and in ordinary symbols see other people using or ready-made, as long as their it can completely took the enrichment oneself system of signs. Once into its symbol system, usually practice when they have to use, after repeated practice, in the long-term practice and accumulation, a familiar note symbol system is developed.

For example, the reference: the family planning is China's basic policy. But there are many people in your country don't understand. In fact, from 1971 to 1998, because of China's one-child policy, China's population by 338 million. This is equivalent to the United States and Canada combined population of the equivalent of the 15 European Union countries are the sum total of the population. And China's per capita GDP rise to the world of the 7 th. If don't realize family planning, I'm afraid I will be seventh countdown. While India now has 9. According to estimates by experts, and by their population growth rate, the current to 2050, their population wills more than we China.

All in all, as is above mentioned, interpreting is a very personalized work. Therefore, the interpretation of the notes many methods, but still have some of the same law can abide by, as the system of signs and the use of the abbreviations have mentioned above. However, interpreter in learning and work should follow in the three standards of the interpreting notes, and on the basis of common law, and used it to develop their own unique note symbols, constantly fumble, find a suitable for himself and effective interpretation system of notes, constantly improve the quality of interpretation, and become an excellent interpretation workers.
