Abstract

Slow translation speed and the difficulty of translating long and complex sentences are the problems that translators often face in the practice of English-Chinese written translation. By analyzing the process of rapid interpretation by interpreters, which is often considered to be guided by the Interpretive Theory, this article attempts to obtain suitable methods from the interpreting process to improve the speed and quality of written translation. This paper constructs a “four-corner model” for English-Chinese written translation after the discussion of the Interpretive Theory, especially its “triangular model of interpretation”. Through some training, the “four-corner model” can effectively improve the speed and quality of English-Chinese written translation.
