摘要

随着英语作为通用语言(ELF)的传播，口译研究者开始探索其对口译质量和整个会议口译行业的影响。本研究是基于对10位在台湾从事中英文会议口译工作的专业译员的访谈。我们将重点介绍他们口译ELF演讲者的经验，特别是他们最近的三次国际会议，探讨口译员如何应对所涉及的挑战，以及他们如何看待ELF对他们职业的影响。总的来说，分析共包括25次会议，涉及235名ELF发言者。研究结果提供了一幅全面的画面，说明台湾的中英会议口译员如何在处理ELF现象所带来的挑战后，经过多年处理这种困难的经验。

Non-native English at international conferences: Perspectives from Chinese–English conference interpreters in Taiwan

With the spread of English as a lingua franca (ELF), interpreting researchers have started to explore its effects on interpreting quality and on the conference interpreting profession as a whole. This study is based on interviews with ten professional conference interpreters working with Chinese A and English B in Taiwan. We focus on their experiences of interpreting ELF speakers, with particular reference to their three most recent international conferences, exploring how the interpreters cope with the challenges involved and how they perceive the effects of ELF on their profession. Overall, a total of 25 conferences were included in the analysis, involving 235 ELF speakers. The results provide a comprehensive picture of how Chinese–English conference interpreters in Taiwan have risen to the challenge presented by the ELF phenomenon, after years of experience in dealing with the difficulties this often involves.

期刊介绍： Interpreting serves as a medium for research and debate on all aspects of interpreting, in its various modes, modalities (spoken and signed) and settings (conferences, media, courtroom, healthcare and others). Striving to promote our understanding of the socio-cultural, cognitive and linguistic dimensions of interpreting as an activity and process, the journal covers theoretical and methodological concerns, explores the history and professional ecology of interpreting and its role in society, and addresses current issues in professional practice and training.
