内容简介：

2023年，杭州举办的亚运会将世界媒体的目光吸引到了浙江。除了国内观众，以英语观众为代表的国外观众会如何看待这届亚运会？笔译和口译很大程度上决定了他们的看法态度。此次讲座将探讨亚运会走进英语国家的各种方式。讲座将从三个方面探讨将亚运会英语翻译所面临的挑战：首先，什么样的具体内容或时刻通常是翻译工作的重点；第二，这些翻译需要或应该遵循什么样的价值观和理念；第三，在赛后媒体活动的高度动态和时间敏感环境中，笔译和口译有哪些实际困难和挑战？此次讲座将探讨影响此类翻译的若干哲学问题，重点探讨体育赛事相关的一些实际口译困难，并概述亚运会和奥运会等大型综合性体育赛事翻译任务所带来的专业和就业机会。

The 2023 Asian Games was held in Hangzhou, and brought the attention of the world’s media to Zhejiang. Beyond the domestic consumption of the Games, how was the Games be perceived outside of China, particularly among English language audiences? Much depended upon translation and interpretation. This lecture will focus on the various ways in which the Asian Games was brought into the English-speaking realm. Three aspects of the challenges of translating the Asian Games into English will be considered. First, what sort of specific content or moments are typically the focus of translation efforts? Second, what values and ideas do or should guide those translations? Third, what are the practical difficulties and challenges of translating and interpreting in a highly dynamic and time-sensitive environment, such as that of a post-match media event? This talk will address a number of philosophical questions that shape such translation, highlight some practical difficulties of interpretation connected with sporting events, and provide an overview of the professional and employment opportunities arising from the task of translating major multi-sport events like the Asian Games and the Olympic Games.
