Abstract

In recent years, with the deepening development of globalization and increasing global exchanges, interpreters are in short supply. To meet the huge demand for interpreters, Master of Translation and Interpretation (MTI) was launched in some outstanding and competent universities in China. Meanwhile, interpretation training institutions are flourishing in a great number of cities. And some universities offer interpretation courses for undergraduate students.
Lured by the high salary, many people aspire to embark on the road of interpretation. Along their learning journey, they meet with a variety of difficulties. And this paper focuses on problems undergraduate may encounter and solutions for their improvement, which will not only strengthen their interpretation skills but their English as a whole. The major problem this paper discusses is about information deficiency from six perspectives: listening ability, translation techniques, memory, note-taking, prediction and psychological factors. Then it proposes solutions accordingly to make improvements.

Chapter One A Brief Introduction
In recent years, there is a vigorous demand for interpreters, particularly conference interpreters in China. With the new jobs thus created, mostly in major cities, interpreting has firmly established itself as a distinct profession. However, there also emerge such problems as a lack of qualified interpreting professions and a dearth of proper channels for interpreters and their prospective employers to contact each other. Many universities in China have launched the course of interpretation for senior students of English major. Though students’ English has reached a certain level, when undertaking the task of interpreting which is high-demanding, they face tough jobs. In most cases, the major problem for them is incomplete information, which is caused by many factors. This paper discusses the possible reasons for this phenomenon from six aspects. Thereafter, it explores effective coping strategies to address those phenomena including, enhancing personal ability, improving translation capability, enhancing memory, combing short-term memory with note-taking, making prediction, and having a strong heart.
