About the Lab
Professor Kim Hye-rim's research lab specializes in translation and interpretation studies with a focus on cross-linguistic and cross-cultural communication, particularly between Korean and Chinese. The lab explores translation strategies for culturally specific terms—such as food names—while examining the impact of AI on interpretation education and practice. It also investigates evaluation standards in interpretation, the rewriting process in translation, and the historical role of translation in cultural exchange.

15In Korea, Translation Studies(TS) began to be recognized as an independent academic discipline in the 1990s. The founding of the Korean Society of Interpretation and Translation Studies in 1998 and the Korean Association of Translation Studies in 1999 opened an academic forum for TS, distancing themselves from comparative literature and linguistics. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Korean Society of Interpretation and Translation Studies and the 14th of the Korean Association of Trans
The objective of this study is to identify the standards used in education for the evaluation of interpretation. To this end, a survey was carried out on professors and lecturers at the graduate school of translation and interpretation at Ewha Womans University and at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies who had participated in the assessment of students’ graduation exams. As a result, it was found that participants in the survey considered the most important standards to be accuracy of content
The objective of this paper is to examine how food names are translated between Korean and Chinese and the major strategies that are applied, describing patterns of translation in both language directions, from Chinese to Korean and from Korean to Chinese. Based on the linguistic-cultural characteristics of each language, the patterns of translation in both directions were compared and the norms for translation of food names between Korean and Chinese were identified. Korea and China both belong
In the history of humankind, translation has always played a role in exchange and communication between cultures. This was particularly true in times of rapid social change and development of new civilizations and ideologies, when the introduction of ideas and spread of civilization through translation proceeded at a rapid pace. China went through two great periods of cultural exchange in its history, namely when Indian culture and Western culture were introduced to the country respectively, in
Translation is the product of rewriting. Considering acceptability of the text to the target audience, rewriting is a feature of the translation process from the selection of the source text till the finished book reaches the readers’ hands. This paper analyzes Korean-Chinese translated publications that have gone through this process of rewriting to identify characteristics in the form of those publications when compared to the original text, and to identify the differences in form and their ca
With the recent significant advancements in AI technology, the internal and external environment of interpretation education is rapidly changing. In particular, the generative AI tool ChatGPT-4 has shown a remarkable improvement compared to previous versions. Given these developments, this study aims to explore ways to integrate AI technology into professional interpretation education. To this end, the study will first analyze the performance of AI interpreters at present and compile recent AI-b
Hyerim Kim et al. (2016), An analytical study on cultural terms Korean-Chinese tranlation and the tranlation solution: To date, the cultural terms has been translated without an agreed standards, and as results there has emerged certain translation issues, such as various translation terms in different public sectors which are actually the same words in original language. The first goal of this study is to investigate the problematic phenomena in public sector’s works in translating the cultural
This study aims to identify translation assessment norms found in criticisms done by “reader critics” on Chinese-Korean translation for book publication. Specifically, this study analyzes assessment norms applied by readers to the works of Wenan translated into Korean by different translators. The analysis is based on the following questions: 1) what do readers think of Chinese into Korean translations? 2) is there any relationship between translationese and readability? A group of reader critic
同源能指,系指可用汉字表记的所有“字”。自借用汉字为书面语的表记手段以来,同源能指在韩语词汇体系中成为生成词汇的重要成分。现代韩语和汉语的词汇當中,有许多词汇是以相同的同源能指组合而成的。 这些词汇當中,部分词汇在两国语言体系内呈现完全相同的语义,但也有些词汇包含相异的语义特征(semantic features),必须严谨区分使用。然而,由于同源能指的视觉、听觉形象呈现同形性与类音性,在学习语言或翻译的过程中往往会产生各种错误。 在纠正从2003年到2007年发行的各种国际会议资料的翻译错误的过程中,本人搜集到了共19个“假朋友(faux amis)”,包括:矛盾、冲突、消极、游说、保证、素质、冲击、发展、掌握、严重、解说、招待、视察、指针、苦闷、提示、圆滑、道具、附言等。 本研究采用能够阐明词素的内部结构与语义关系的成分分析法为对照分析的基本框架,分析并整理了上述“假朋友(faux amis)”在各语言体系内的语义特征。
본 프로그램은 다양한 분야에서 자신의 꿈과 끼를 찾을 수 있는 활동이 될 수 있도록 학생들의 흥미와 관심사를 반영하여 프로그램을 고안하여 미술과를 중심으로 한 자유학기제 동아리활동이 중학교 1학년 학생들의 진로성숙도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이에 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위한 방법은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자유학기제의 취지와 편성 운영을 검토하여 자유학기제 안에서 동아리 활동이 어떻게 이루어지고 있는지 살펴 본 후, 진로교육의 개념과 여러 학자들의 의견을 바탕으로 진로교육의 중요성과 이에 중학교 미술교과에서 진로교육이 왜 필요한지 고찰하였다. 둘째, 경기도 소재의 중·고등학생을 대상으로 미술과 관련한 직업 흥미 여부를 설문 결과를 통해 자유학기제 동아리 활동 프로그램을 설계하였으며, 설문지의 직업선별 기준은 KSCO(한국 표준 직업 분류)에서 제시하고 있는 예술 전문가 및 관련직을 바탕으로 제작하였다. 셋째, 경기도 소재의 H중학교 1학년 26명에게 총 8
近来在国外艺术界及拍卖等相关市场 , 韩国艺术作品日益备受关注 。 为了 向国外正确表达及有效宣传韩国艺术 , 正式启动了 《 20 世纪韩国艺术多国语种 术语库项目 》 。 该项目由韩国梨花女子大学和韩国美术研究所共同参与 , 筛选了 代表韩国艺术的 206 个术语 , 对此进行了翻译案例分析后 , 建议韩国艺术术语 ( 概念性术语 、 团体名 、 展览名 ) 的对外翻译标准化方案 。 本论文主要是摘选 了其中中文翻译部分的核心内容 。 本论文建议的韩国艺术术语对外翻译标准化方案为如下 : 1. 韩国美术概念性术语为例 , 若是汉字术语原则上通过直译 ( 韩国繁体汉 字翻成简体中文 ) 翻成中文 , 不可直译的韩文术语或直译后有可能不忠于原意 时采用意译 。 由于目标语境已有类似概念 , 直译有可能导致误解时 , 术语前面 加 “ 韩国 ” 来表示韩国固有的概念 。 2. ( 艺术 ) 团体名作为专有名词 , 尽量减少翻 译者的介入 , 汉字团体名通过直译翻成中文 , 韩文或外语团体名采用官方英文 或原语团体名 。 3. 展览名为例 , 若是在特定地区举办的双年展等活动采用混译 (
With the aim of developing an effective training model for use in sight-translation classes, this study investigates the use of a self-assessment model on eight students in Korean-Chinese sight translation classes at the Graduate School of Interpretation and Translation at Ewha Womans University. As a result it was found that first, the self-assessment model was a useful tool in boosting learning by making students participate in class in a self-reflective way; and that second, training in sight
韩语和汉语都属于“汉字文化圈”,在这两门语言的词汇系统中有许多词汇是以相同的同源能指组合而成的。这些词汇当中,部分词汇在两国语言体系内呈现完全相同的语义,但也有些词汇却呈现相异的语义特征或不同的词语搭配关系,对此在使用上必须严谨加以区分。然而,由于同源能指的视觉、听觉形象呈现同形性与类音性,在翻译的过程中往往会产生各种不同的翻译腔。 本论文以国内翻译出版的6本中翻韩作品为对象,对其中的翻译腔进行分析,共搜集到13个“假朋友(faux amis)”,如:清谈, 文章, 啓示, 本色, 事務, 認可, 遺憾, 眞正, 大局, 永遠, 隱秘, 制定, 缺乏等。 本研究采用能够阐明词素内部结构与语义关系的成分分析法,以此为比较分析的基本框架,归纳整理了上述“假朋友”在韩汉不同语言体系内的语义特征。并且按照韩语和汉语固有的词语搭配关系,分析了翻译腔例子当中因“假朋友”而引起的语言干涉现象。
Artificial intelligence-based translation and interpretation technologies have made progress day by day. In this background, many discuss the crisis of human translation and interpretation today. Ironically, however, it is expected that there will be a growing social demand for professional translators and interpreters who are equipped with abilities to assess and correct errors of machine translation and interpretation based on the notion that their translation and interpretation skills will st
