Title Error analysis in consecutive interpreting from the professional perspective --- based on a mock conference of undergraduate English majors
Abstract
Conference consecutive interpreters nowadays play a significant role as a medium in important meetings. Based on the videos of consecutive interpreting in the mock conference conducted by English major students, this paper adopts the empirical method to gain the statistics and to analyze the errors from the professional perspective. The major evaluating indicators include the frequency of eye contact, body gesture, pauses, preparation, voice and articulation, and tempo. Errors identified include less attention paid to the speaker and the audience, too many repeats, filled and unfilled pauses, voice trembling, clearing of the throat, unclear articulation, wrong articulation and slow tempo. This paper finally puts forward four suggestions on interpreting teaching, that is, voice coaching, knowledge accumulation, and forming habits of suitable body gestures, avoiding pauses, and maintaining proper tempo.
