Abstract


Ever since its reform and opening up to the world, China has acquired great achievements in its foreign exchange. This is especially true after the 21st Century with China’s entry into the WTO, which has accelerated the pace of globalization. Inevitably, the international language—English is witnessing increasing popularity, which has led to enormous achievements in this regard.The skills of domestication and foreignization have more than often been discussed in translation studies. As interpretation and translation constitute two branches of the Translation Study, not surprisingly, the two skills can be employed in interpretation as well. Then, to domesticate or foreignize in interpretation? And how?This dissertation deals with the application of domestication and foreignization in interpretation by combining the real life experiences of the author and theories. The author starts by presenting the current situation of interpretation and translation and clarifying the inspiration behind this work. Then the author uncovers the definition and development of the two techniques of domestication and foreignization. Next, a comparative study is conducted between translation and interpretation which leads to the conclusion that domestication should be more frequently employed which is more audience-focused. Nevertheless, foreignization is in some cases applicable to interpretation with particular purposes. After that, in accordance with the Skopos Theory, the author analyzes interpretation in different classification and works out the suitable technique to resort to.The author concludes the dissertation by restating the theme and points out that in this dissertation inevitably exist defects and insufficiencies due to limited knowledge on the author’s part. Interpretation study awaits further progress.
