In 2015, Routledge Publisher published two works influential to interpreting studies: The Routledge Encyclopedia of Interpreting Studies and The Routledge Handbook of Interpreting. First, this paper briefly introduces the researches presented in The Routledge Handbook of Interpreting, followed by some key insights drawn from its research perspectives, new frontiers and innovations. Specifically, the history of interpreting and the important internal and external players are issues unique to interpreting studies that are given voices here. New interpreting technologies, interpreting professionalism and the return of interpreting ethics are also highlighted as current research frontiers; besides, transcription, translation and child language brokering, which have rarely drawn concern from academic circles, also receive scholarly attention in these works. Overall, this paper provides a panorama of the core issues in interpreting studies and offers a variety of perspectives in order to promote discussion on some controversial issues and to stimulate future researches..

摘要：

近年来,全球语言服务背景下的口译研究势头迅猛。2015年,劳特里奇出版社推出了两部口译研究重磅之作：《劳特里奇口译研究手册》和《劳特里奇口译研究百科全书》。本文拟对《劳特里奇口译研究手册》一书进行内容简介,再从研究视角、研究前瞻、研究亮点三个方面作出评价。口译研究的史学视角及口译职业化的内外力因素分析是该书研究视角的两大创新。口译技术、口译职业化及口译伦理的回归是该书的研究前瞻。此外,鲜受关注的“转写与翻译”和“儿童语言掮客”问题堪称其研究亮点。该书对口译研究的各类问题提供了从宏观到中观再到微观的全景扫描,以期与口译研究学者共享口译研究多棱新景,并就口译研究的争议话题引发更加深入的讨论。
