口译成功与否在很大程度上取决于译员在口译表达前对感知的信息进行记录的能力。记录分为“脑记”和“笔记”两种。人脑的记忆由短时记忆和长时记忆两部分组成。顾名思义,短时记忆是一种操作性的暂时记忆,长时记忆属于一种储存性的永久记忆。影响一个人短时记忆的因素很多,其中最主要的因素是记忆内容的意义性。即便是当感知的信息有意义时,人的短时记忆只可容纳由二十多个单词组成的句子,或者一组十位数的数字。因此,对于口译工作者来说,完全依赖人脑的记忆能力是危险的,记笔记便显得十分重要。一、做口译笔记时的注意事项1.口译笔记应记要点,切忌求记“全”。口译笔记是记忆的延伸或补充,不应也不必取代记忆。口译笔记的主要内容是概念、命题、名称、数字、组织机构和逻辑关系(如大小、先后、正反、上下、升降、因果关系等),笔记单位以表达意群的词语和符号为主。2.口译笔记求快求精,但不可潦草。3.口译笔记可使用来源语,也可使用目标语,也可以双语兼用。只要有利于口译的准确性和流利性,不必拘泥于某种文字或符号。例如,“联合国大会”可笔录为“UN”或“联大”。4.口译笔记使用大量常见略语,例如:cf(compare),Co(company),eg(forexample),etc(andsoon),esp(especially),ie(thatis),max(maximum),min(minimum),ref(reference),std(standard),usu(usually),等。二、常用速记符号速记是一项特殊的技巧,速记语言是由一套完整的符号组成的体系。在口译实践中逐步掌握一些简单的速记符号是有益的笔记符号state,kingdom,country,nation,national,federalcity,metropolis,cosmopolis,metropolitan,urban,municipalvillage,farm,outskirt,countryside,suburban,ruralareas右上角:人右下角:地方、地名、机构一.图形符号citizen,urbanresidents/inhabitantsfamer,peasant,rancher,agriculturist领导,监督;顶点,顶级,最lead,supervise,head,peak,top,supreme,utmost,maximum,climaxuniversal,worldwide,international,transnational,global,transcontinental,allovertheworld,acrossboundaries多国,其他国家othercountries国民经济nationaleconomydomestic,native,internal,interior,athomeforeign,overseas,abroad,alien,exotic,outofthecountry,beyondseas,intheforeignlandinandoutofthecountry,athomeandabroad进口import出口export进出口import&export飞行员pilot飞机场airport中国人Chinesepeople经济实体economicentity金融机构financialinstitutionboss,leader,chairman,ruler,chief,manager,president,majesty,governor,director,supervisor,monitor国家领导人,政府首脑stateleader广场square,plaze宏观调控,macro-control首都capitalcity1.重要important,significant,key,critical,crucial,essential,vital,eventful,principal,core,ofgreatimportance/significance/consequence3.主要main,chief,primary,major,dominant,overwhelming4.精彩wonderful,terrific,splendid,fantastic,marvelous2.杰出great,well-known,outstanding,remarkable,excellent,perfect,brilliant,distinguished,notable,eminent,promising,prominent,prestigious,glorious,noteworthy,5.强调emphasize,focus,underline,underscorestress,highlight,spotlight,accentuatefocuson,layemphasis/stressonattachimportanceto,payattentiontothemostimportant1.特点,特色,特征mark,feature,character,symbol,sign,characteristic,specialitypeculiarity,attribute2.代表represent,symbolize,typify,standfor,onbehalfof1.整体,全部,总共whole,all,total,entire,complete,overallgeneral,universal,integral,gross,intact,onthewhole,allinall2.团结,统一,团聚united,unification,gather,gettogether所有国家所有人,人民群众主权和领土完整sovereigntyandterritorialintegrity⊙会议meeting,forum,session,seminar,conference,symposium,committee,association,parliament,council峰会summit(meeting)∞1.关联linkto,connectwith,relateto,associatewith2.替代replace,displace,supplant,substituteinsteadof,taketheplaceof1.交流,交换exchange,interact,communicate2.关系interaction,relation,relationshippartnership双边关系,bilateralrelationship多边关系,multilateralrelationship举杯,协议toast,agreement,treaty,contractConvention,revolution双边协议,bilateralagreement多边协议,multilateralagreement⊕发展,develop,development发达的,developed发展中的,developing1.开始begin,start,initiate,open,originate,launch,pioneercommence,inaugurate2.形成,产生,出现establish,found,create,appear,emerge,occur,comeout,breakout,comeintobeing/existence3.医疗卫生RedCross,hospital,medicalcaremedicalinstitution禁止,结束end,conclude,complete,cease,stop,close,terminate,expire,halt,over,pause,turnoff,switchoff,breakupmakeanendof,bringtoanend,bringtoaconclusion道路,方法method,way,road,means,measureapproach,manner,access,route,coursemode,bymeansof,bywayof1.歪曲twist,distortionoffact2.困难,挫折difficulty,hardship,trouble,painful,tough,frustration,setback远faraway近near,close台阶,进步stepbystep,progress,advancemakeprogress过去,历史inthepast,history昨天yesterday上个月lastmonth去年lastyear前所未有的,unprecedented很久以前,longbefore未来,将要,inthefuture改变,变化change,transform果实,成果fruit,result,accomplishmentachievement1.(使)消失,废除delete,exclude,dismiss,erasedisappear,vanish,extinct,removeabolish,getridof,wipeout2.破坏,推翻,剥夺destroy,ruin,collapse,overthrowdemolish,deprive,4.倒闭,下岗bankrupt,layoff,resign,retire5.死亡,已故的kill,murder,die,passaway,thelate6.解决,达到,实现overcome,settle,solve,address,realize,achieve,accomplish,fulfill3.抛弃abandon,desert,discard二.人体行为符号smile,happy,glad,pleased,excitedinagoodmoodunhappy,sad,unsatisfied,angry,inabadmoodQ1.说tell,state,announce,express,claim,address,declare,argue,vow,explain,Introduce,report2.评论comment,remark,evaluateappraise,review开罗宣言,CairoManifesto赞扬speakhighlyof,praise批评criticize众说纷纭,若干说法variousopinions改革开放reformandopeningup爱,关心love,concern,careabout吓唬,威胁scare,threaten1.听,listento2.开放,beopento:1.看observe,view,glance,stare,noticeglimpse,scan,skim,witness,gaze2.想think,consider,regard,conceiveponder,suppose,imagine,meditatespeculate,contemplate3.揭示,显示show,suggest,indicate,reveal,discover,reflect←1.来come2.收到receive3.需要,缺少need,require,want,beshortof,4.邀请,应邀invite,oninvitation愿意接受acceptwithpleasure1.卖sell2.获利makeaprofit1.去,到go2.引起,导致resultin,leadto1.买buy2.投资invest↑增加;上升;完善;繁荣increase,heighten,enhance,grow,liftsoar,rise,raise,elevate,ascendflourish,advance,update,improveprosperity,boost,giveboostto,goup↓减少,降低,
