2020年英语翻译资格考试中级口译复习讲义1
在外事接待活动中，译员首先面临的一道难题是称谓的口译。称谓代表了一个人的职位、职衔或学衔，体现了一个人的资历和地位。称谓的误译不但是对相关人员的不尊重，而且也会产生种种不良的后果。称谓的准确翻译其关键在于译员对相关人员的身份及其称谓的表达是否有一个准确的理解，尤其是对称谓语的理解。一种称谓语很可能表示多种身份，例如，英语的头衔语 president，译成汉语时可视具体情况分别译作共和国的总统、国家主席、大学的校长、学院的院长、学会或协会的会长或主席、公司的总裁或董事长等等。
一般说来，各类机构或组织的首长其汉语称谓译成英语时虽可套用通用词 head，但从比较严格的意义上看，应使用特定的、规范的称谓语。例如：
校长(大学) President of Beijing University
校长(中小学) Principal /Headmaster of Donghai Middle School
院长(大学下属) Dean of the Graduate School
系主任(大学学院下属) Chair/Chairman of the English Department
会长/主席(学/协会) President of the Student Union, Shanghai University
厂长(企业) Director of the Machine Tools Manufacturing Plant
院长(医院) President of Huadong Hospital
主任(中心) Director of the Business Center
主任(行政) Director of Foreign Affairs Office
董事长(企业) President/Chairman of the Board of Directors 董事长(学校) President/Chairman of the Board of Trustees
