Abstract
Oral translation, also known as interpreting, is a complex cognitive activity that requires quick thinking, strong concentration, and the ability to process information rapidly. During this process, interpreters often experience psychological pressure and stress because they must listen, understand, and reproduce speech almost simultaneously. Stress in interpreting can influence the interpreter’s performance, accuracy, and overall communication quality.
This article explores the concept of stress in oral translation from psycholinguistic and cognitive perspectives. It analyzes how stress affects the interpreter’s mental processes such as perception, memory, and attention. The study also discusses factors that may increase or decrease stress during interpreting. Understanding these mechanisms can help improve interpreter training and develop strategies to manage stress more effectively.
