New Challenges for T&I Training in the Age of AI

人工智能时代，口笔译训练的新挑战

The goal of T&I training is not to train students to produce mechanically translated texts in the target language like machines, but to develop abilities of understanding and writing in a creative manner that goes far beyond what present-day MT technologies can offer. MT these days can translate much faster with increasingly improved accuracy and text quality, yet it cannot replace the human translator, who is expected to have in-depth understanding of the textual and contextual information, awareness of the linguistic and cultural differences and the creative abilities for writing that are required for producing high-quality texts in the target language and ultimately for effective human communication.

In this open lecture, I shall examine some of the differences that exist between texts produced by MI and the human translator and explores the causes for such differences in an effort to inform T&I training of the new challenges we face in the age of AI, demonstrating the different strategies and processes involved in translation by MT and by the human translator. 

口笔译训练并非要把学生培养成翻译机器，只会机械地产出译文，而是意在培养学生对原文有自己的理解、对译文有自己的见解，这种创造力是目前的机器翻译所不具备的。如今，机器翻译的速度远超人工，其准确度和译文质量也在逐步提升，但机器翻译仍无法取代人工翻译。因为好的译者往往能对文本有更深入的解读、对语境有更全面的理解。他们更能精准把握语言和文化之间的差异，从而创造出高质量的译出语，使交流达到预期效果。

在本堂公开课上，我将通过对照译本展示机器翻译和人工翻译的不同，分析机器和人工译者的翻译策略和翻译过程，探索其产生不同译本的缘由，并由此揭示口笔译训练在人工智能时代所面临的新挑战。
