A Study of Voice Training for Interpreters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
随着科学技术的发展,不同文化之间的交流日益频繁,口译在政治、经济、文化交流中扮演着越来越重要的角色。在口译的发展过程中,尽管口译训练、口译教学、口译实践等方面的研究有了长足发展,口译作为一个嗓音职业的定位却未受到重视,至今还未对口译员的嗓音发声方面有过相关深入探讨。科学的发声方法、嗓音训练与保健对于口译员的职业表现和职业发展都有着重要的作用。良好的嗓音状态才能保证口译水平的正常发挥,切实保证口译的质量。从这一点出发,本研究试图验证嗓音训练对口译员的实用性。研究选取了14名口译专业的学生作为研究对象 ...
