ABSTRACT
Nowadays interpretation is becoming a buzzword, and for its own characters interpretation becomes a profession with higher pressure, higher requirement of capability and high incomes. But researches on interpreter’s psychology are limited even without explicit explanation.
In the first part, this thesis gives its research topic.
In the second part, the author introduces the translation ecology, translation adaptation and selection and determines the research on interpreter’s psychological environment.
In the third part, human’s psychological process is explored and interpreter’s information-processing process is analyzed.
In the fourth part, the author describes interpreter’s psychological adaptation to information-processing, on-site pressure and mutation environment from the perspective of translation ecology and translation as adaptation and selection.
Finally, the conclusion part gives an overall conclusion.
