Q: Dear Michael, who taught you how to play golf and do you still use a coach?

A: A lot of people helped teach me—mostly my buddies at the UNC while I was in school.I occasionally use a PRO to advise me on improving --but no one regular. I've come to realize that I'm just a "hack"--so now I am enjoying just playing without a lot of coaching.

 较正式语体   Q: Women in the United States generally live longer than men. But in recent years that gap has been narrowing a bit. How has that affected the life insurance business?

A: It is not narrowing that much, thank goodness We are still outliving men, we are still. We have quite a gap on them, still about 7-8 years. The only reason it’s narrowing is women are doing things to themselves that they shouldn’t be doing , like smoking ,and all those bad habits that men have had for many years. But it is not narrowing for other reasons.

  问:在美国,一般来说妇女比男人更长寿,但是 近年来差距在缩小.这对人寿保险业有什么影 响?

Linguistic Theories of Interpretation

达尼卡

.

塞莱丝柯维奇（

Danica Seleskovitch

）教授于

20

世纪

60

年代后期创立的释意派理论，首先是一种口 译理论，该理论的出发点和角度与传统的语言学派翻 译理论完全不同，“其基本要点是严格区分语言与话 语的相对独立作用和相互关系，区分翻译过程中的已 知内容和未知内容之间的关系”（方梦之，

2004

：

39

）。释意派理论认为翻译是解释性的，它强调释意 的准确性，而不苛求两种语言符号的对等。塞莱丝柯 维奇教授认为“

The approach also focuses on the mental and cognitive processes involved in interpreting, which is seen as comprising the three stages of interpretation

（理解）

, de-verbalization

（脱离源语外壳）

and reformulation

（重新表达）” （

Seleskovitch,1977

）。

另一位法国翻译理论研究家玛丽安娜.勒代 雷Marianna Lederer指出，“口语转瞬即逝， 含义与有声语言一同消失，但是意义却存留 在听话人的记忆中”，所以人在翻译转瞬即 逝的口语时，必须经历脱离源语外壳的过程， 才能最终把完整的源语意义用目的语表达出 来。
