This paper attempts a theoretical analysis of the main causes of the bottleneck and discusses the skill of interpreting figures. It also sums up intensively various forms related to interpreting figures for interpreters to achieve a high-quality interpretation.展开更多

Recognizing a pattern is definitely not the exploration of a new discovery but rather the search for already known patterns. In reading for example the same text written in a hand writing, letters can appear in different shapes. Still, the text decoding corresponds with interpreting the large variety of hand writings shapes with fonts. Quantum mechanics also offer a kind of interpretation tool. Although, with the superposition principle it is possible to compose an infinite number of states, yet, an observer by conducting a measurement reduces the number of observed states into the predetermined basis states. Not only that any state collapses into one of the basis states, quantum mechanics also possesses a kind of correction mechanism in a sense that if the measured state is “close enough” to one of the basis states, it will collapse with high probability into this predetermined state. Thus, we can consider the collapse mechanism as a reliable way for the observer to interpret reality into his frame of concepts. Both interpretation ideas, pattern recognition and quantum measurement are integrated in this paper to formulate a quantum pattern recognition measuring procedure.展开更多

The study examined interpretation recordings during the second round of the 2016 ACIC, focusing on how student interpreters coped with figures. Observation results show that omission is the most common error for all students and for the four types of figures involved in the research. Most errors are made in the translation of big round numbers. Fast speed of the source speech as well as figure clusters turn out to be the most outstanding causes for errors. Such observation results are expected to provide implications for future interpreting teaching.展开更多
