摘要：长期以来;数的翻译一直困扰着英汉语同传译员;对于学习口译的准译员而言更是重要难点之一。为了证实准译员翻译数时出错的原因;作者从英语专业大四298名学生中选出15名被测者进行实验。通过实验发现;数的高频率出现是造成英汉同传中翻译出错的主要原因。数的独特结构不但影响其本身的翻译;影响邻近句子翻译的准确性;而且还会影响准译员对上下文的理解。为了避免数对翻译质量的影响;建议准译员在同声传译中借助交传笔记方法记录数字;从而尽可能降低工作记忆负荷。

For decades,numbers interpreting has been perplexing simultaneous interpreters who translate from English into Chinese,and for quasi-interpreters who learn interpreting it is one of the hardest aspects.To find out the reasons why quasi-interpreters make mistakes,the author of this article has carefully chosen 15 subjects out of 298 students of English major in their fourth year for this experiment.Through the experiment it is discovered that numbers of high frequency are the main reasons that cause the mistakes during simultaneous interpreting from English into Chinese.The unique structure of numbers not only affects translation of numbers per se and the accuracy of their neighboring sentences,but also affects quasi-interpreters’ understanding of the context.In order to prevent numbers from affecting translation quality,it is recommended that quasi-interpreters write down numbers with the aid of note-taking strategy commonly employed in consecutive interpreting so as to reduce as much load as possible in their working memory.
