5、查阅词典或其他材料。而笔译员则可以随时查阅各种参考书,反复斟酌,也可请教相关领域的专家。反馈形式不同口译是现场的翻译活动。译员面对讲话人和听众,可以随时从他们的面部表情、情绪、手势和其他身势语中接收到反馈信息,译员可根据现场的情况和听众的反馈及时调整自己的音量、语速、用词等。而笔译员在翻译过程中一般没有机会与作者和读者面对面进行交流,也无法根据他们的反馈进行调整和修改。质量标准不尽相同笔译讲究“信、达、雅”,口译则强调“准、顺、快”。“准”即准确,指准确理解原语信息并即时将其译成目的语。“顺”即通顺,指译员在用目的语表达原语信息时要通顺流畅,符合语言表达规范。“快”即译员反应要快,讲话者的话音
6、刚落,译员就要开始翻译。另外,口译质量的判定还取决于参与交际的各方(如讲者、听者和雇主)从各个角度所认定的交际效果。II.
