摘要
口译比赛既能选拔优秀的口译人才,还能促进学科交流与发展,其评估兼具教学评估和口译现场比赛评估的特点。本研究通过I Forum英语口译比赛,设计嘉宾、同行、观众三类评估主体及相应评估表,收集评分、主观评价和赛后采访等数据进行三角检验,发现三类评估主体打分有显著差异,嘉宾分偏高,观众偏低;嘉宾能显著预测口译能力,评估结果与评估主体的各自特点、译员表现和现场状况都密切相关;嘉宾是评估权威,同行是有益补充,观众是重要参与者,三者联合的评估体系较好地满足了口译比赛的评估要求。
Interpreting contests are often used to select top interpreting trainees and are conducive to academic exchanges and development.Their assessments have the characteristics of both interpreting education and on-the-spot contests.This paper describes the quality assessment in“I Forum”,an English-Chinese campus interpreting contest,in which instructors,fellow interpreting trainees,and the audience serve as raters.By triangulating data collected from rating sheets,comments and after-contest interviews,this study finds that there are significant differences between the three groups of raters:The instructors give the highest ratings,the audience the lowest,and the instructors can significantly predict contestants’interpreting competence.The raters’ratings are closely related to their group identities,candidates’actual performance,and the contest itself.The Instructor raters are the determining voice in quality assessment in interpreting contests,while the peer raters and the audience are supplementary.The instructor-peer-audience rating design is proved to be reliable and serves its purpose well.
