1 Introduction
With the globalization of the world economy, China has gone through huge communication with western countries and excellent interpreters have played a more and more important role in trades and lives, so does the interpretation learning. More and more people take on interpretation learning and they choose to achieve some certificates to prove their ability of interpretation. Shanghai Advanced Interpretation Test is one of the most authoritative tests in examining the command of interpretation. The test is hosted mainly for evaluating interpretation level, from listening, speaking, reading and translating aspect. “As is reported, in June 1995, when Advanced Interpretation Test held for the first time, there were 704 people taking the exam, while in September 2002, the number grew up to 21800 and most of the candidates have been to college, even many got doctor or master degree” (Hua Yun, 2002). Foreign language interpretation qualification certificates rank the third place in the top 10 certificates college students want to own, especially Certificate of Advanced Interpretation Test, the most authoritative one regarded by most foreign-funded enterprises and foreign organizations. Despite the high participation rate, only 10% of the candidates could pass the test and get the certificate. Thus, it’s of vital importance to conduct research on interpretation learning.
