后记

《政治场域中口译员的调控角色》首先采用文献计量法和归纳法，系统梳理国际范围内对译员角色研究的发展历史、研究主题和研究方法；然后对广东省人民政府机构译员的真实口译工作进行描写、建构平行语料库；再运用批评性话语分析的方法对语料进行定性研究，考察了口译过程中不同层次的“偏移” 现象，如零转换、概括转换、缩减转换、替代转换和扩展转换，分析政府机构译员在政治会谈口译中，如何通过人称转换、信息增减、交际功能调整等，对话语内容进行调控。《政治场域中口译员的调控角色》由詹成所著。

《政治场域中口译员的调控角色》选题视角和研究内容新颖独特，将政治场域中开展的交替传译活动作为一种由译员调控的话语进行考察，通过对真实语料的描写分析，质疑了关于“译员是讲话人忠实回声”的传统观念，认为译员是具备本体意识并且能够发挥调控角色显现自身态度的个体。该研究所体现出的包括“忠实性”、口译质量、译员角色、翻译伦理等一系列理论问题都非常重要。
