手语翻译是指在口语和手语之间、手语和手语之间进行互译的活动。虽然手语翻译同样遵从一般的翻译规律,但手语翻译又显著区别于一般的翻译,其中一个直接原因就是手语不是以声音为主要媒介,而是通过肢体动作来传递信息。那么手语这种特殊的语码载体会对译员提出怎样的要求与挑战呢?本文将以此为出发点来探讨手语译员的角色塑造问题。 Sign language translation refers to the activity of mutual translation between sign language and sign language, sign language and sign language. Although sign language translation also follows the general rules of translation, sign language translation is significantly different from general translation. One of the direct reasons is that sign language does not use sound as the main medium but transmits information through body movements. So what kind of requirements and challenges will the interpreter put on this special code carrier of sign language? This article will use this as a starting point to discuss the role of the interpreter.
