Features: The book is divided into six chapters. The first chapter, "Introduction to Interpretation," elaborates on the attributes and standards of interpretation, as well as the commonly used techniques. Chapters 2 to 6 analyze the differences between English and Chinese languages and cultures from the perspectives of linguistic features, vocabulary, syntax, pragmatics, and culture. Based on this foundation, the book further explains specific methods and techniques of English-Chinese interpretation, supported by the analysis of concrete examples. The compiler has also provided interpretation exercises for each chapter, tailored to the content of the respective chapters. These exercises are derived from real-world interpretation scenarios, and reference answers are appended at the end of the book. This book is a companion volume to Practical English-Chinese and Chinese-English Interpretation (edited by Tao Qing, Dalian University of Technology Press, 2006), and is designed to address the key challenges and difficulties in English-Chinese interpretation practice. It offers strong practicality and relevance. This book can serve as both a textbook for interpreting courses for English majors at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as for elective courses in non-English majors, and also as an introductory guide for interpreting enthusiasts.
