　　The material of this report is from Regular Press Conferences of the Ministry ofCommerce on August 23,2013 and December 18,2013. The Regular Press Conference of theMinistry of Commerce has a large amount of information in varied aspects,including hotissues of economic development in China. The author had an E-C consecutive interpreting ofRegular Press Conference of the Ministry of Commerce and analyzed the record of theauthor's interpreting. There are two typical difficulties: （1） Repeated expressions cannot beinterpreted flexibly; （2） Official long sentences cannot be interpreted smoothly.

　　Translation variation theory, proposed by Huang Zhonglian,emphasized changing. Fourmeans of variation, deletion, combination, edition and adaption, provide guidance forinterpretation. Based on translation variation theory, the author discussed how to apply it ininterpretation and explored two countermeasures for solving above two difficulties: （1）Simplify repeated expressions; （2） Adapt official long sentences.

　　Two countermeasures summarized from this report could guide interpretation of suchkind of press conference. It helps interpreters simplify repeated expressions flexibly andinterpret official long sentences smoothly so as to meet the requirements of interpretation,which is better for English audience's understanding. And English expressions are plain, clearand fluent by adopting these two countermeasures.

　　Key Words: C-E consecutive interpretation; press conference; translation variation theory;interpretation countermeasure.

　　ABSTRACT

　　A Bite of China, a popular series of Chinese food documentaries, has a wideoverseas market. In this project, I make a mock interpretation of the first two episodes,under the guidance of relevance theory, I overcome three difficulties in thisinterpretation: （1） The difficulty to interpret special cooking ways and originsimmediately, （2） The difficult to interpret local food and explain Chinese slangsproperly to audience who lack the background knowledge in a short time. （3） Thedifficulty to organize interpretation language of local interviews with oral redundancyor omission.

　　This report provides three interpretation strategies for more Chinese fooddocumentaries interpretation: （1） The interpreter should build the word bank ofChinese cooking ways and special food origins and be familiar with Chinese food andrelative knowledge to find the best relevance through predicting; （2） Faced with propernouns and Chinese phrases, the interpreter should use literal interpretation plusexplanation to help foreign audience understand it; （3） The interpreter should know thecontext and background deeply. Then he can integrate and simplify the language toavoid word redundancy. When some of the meaning is omitted, the interpreter shouldanalyze the context and add words to make the audience understand better.
