Since the admission to the World Trade Organization (WTO) , the trade between
Taiwan and other countries has increased. Along with the admission, training talents
in professional language ability and broad knowledge becomes urgent matter for longterm
external relations. Due to the increasing demand of the conference interpretation,
the market for the professional interpreters with expert knowledge will also expand.
For employers, the requirement of the interpreter is higher, and the quality of the
interpreters is very important.
Controling the quality of the interpreters is related with the quality of the
interpreters’ training. In the past, the education of the interpreters merely paid
attention to the training courses for the interpretation, but failed short of the
comparison between the interpretation and translation for the beginner, and the
solution for the misuse during the interpretation. Furthermore, it is more difficult to
obtain the material of private sound and video recording in the live interpretation due
to confidentiality. In Taiwan, only a few experts take professional interpreter as study
subject, not to mention about the training for the beginner in interpretation.
Professional interpreters are not only fluent in foreign language, also have
proficiency skills in interpretation and expert knowledge. However, mistakes of the
professional interpreters are usually difficult to correct because they happen during
live conference s. It is easy to misuse for the beginners in the interpretation, even if in
the beginning of the languages learning. They may not face the problems in the
beginning and then gradually lose the opportunities to improve simply because of
their ignorance.
The study focuses on the training of the professional conscious to prevent the
misuse when the interpreters attempt to accomplish the correct and swift
interpretation. The professional conscious refers to the re-analysis the misuse in live
interpretation, and the misunderstanding and disputes caused by the interpreters. By
recognizing the strategy and prevention of the misuse, interpreters are able to improve
themselves by sound recording and video recording.
The research studies on beginners in interpretation from the senior of
undergraduate to graduate student of grade one from Kaohsiung First University of
Science and Technology, and a professional interpreter who offers the model of
interpretation. Then we compare the different versions of interpretation according to
interpreters’ background information such as nationality, age, years of Japanese
education, Japanese abilities, working experience, and the interpreter experience, with
the professional interpreters. After studying the background and types of the misuse,
we then move on to discuss the situation of the misuse in the live interpretation. As
such, we hope this research is useful to prevent the interpretation beginners’ misuse.
