内容提要

口译是国际交往活动中的一项十分重要的工作。

随着近年来中国全面走向世界，涉外事务激增，许多领域的对外交流越来越多，对于口译人才的需求因而呈急剧上升之态势。

英语作为世界上应用范围最广泛的语言，对中国的对外交流有着举足轻重的作用。

因此英汉，汉英之间的双语传译，在中国“了解别人，宣传自己”的过程中影响深远。

口译工作在我国由来已久，但相对于实践，口译理论研究工作的开展相对缓慢，这对于口译实践的升华必然造成不小的障碍，并且由于口译训练的艰巨性以及长期性，亟需正确理论的指导，因此口译理论应该与笔译理论一样有较为完备的体系，受到长期关注。

本文从一名口译爱好者在口译学习中的体会出发，结合实践经验，阐述了英汉，汉英双语传译的特点，过程，口译的技能，记忆的训练，以及如何做好笔记等诸方面口译中的常见问题，并从分析英汉两种语言的差别着手，改变思维方式来提高口译的效率，文中亦配备了大量实例，以期达到对口译思维认识的一个提高，进而更好地服务于实践。
