Abstract
Listening， memorizing， tranerring and reproducing are the four basic steps in the process of English- Chinese （E-C thereafter） interpretation. To succesully accomplish the interpretation process， the interpreter should act well through all these steps. This paper separately analyzes the steps of E-C interpretation from the perspective of cognitive psychology. Moreover， the analysis also suits for interpretation between another two languages， and it provides reference and guide for interpreters and learners.
Key words： Interpretation； Cognitive psychology； Process
INTRODUCTION
Interpretation is an oral communication of tranerring one language to its equivalent or approximate equivalent in another language form. Seleskovitch & Lederer， representatives of interpretive theory， once pointed out that the interpreter must go through three stages： comprehension， deverbalization and expression， which means the interpreter not only need to understand the spoken words， but also comprehend the meaning under the words， then express it with straightforward words immediately. From the perspective of communications， interpretation is a process of information reception- decoding- expressing. However， it is generally accepted that interpretation process is composed of the following four steps： listening， memorizing， tranerring and reproducing. In the first step of E-C interpretation， it requires of the interpreter an acute hearing， accurate comprehension on English words.Memorizing step requires instant and active memory， high concentration， focuses on ideas instead of words and essential notetaking. Tranerring step requires good command of English and Chinese and logical reorganization of ideas. Reproducing step requires clear and correct mandarin pronunciation and intonation.
Cognitive psychology is a subdiscipline of psychology exploring internal mental processes， including attention， memory， language processing， perception， problem solving and thinking. From the perspective of cognitive psychology， interpretation process of listeningmemorizing- tranerring- reproducing can also be expressed as information perception- storing in memoryrecoding-expression. Separate analysis of the four step of E-C interpretation can also be expanded to the interpretation between another two languages， through which the interpreter can learn about mental processes during interpretation to conduct conscious interpretation and grasp the pattern and effort model， hence enhance the efficiency of interpretation. Moreover， the analysis can also benefit interpreters and learners by adding specialty to their training， and promote interpretation teaching model and its theoretical studies.
