| CATTI的证书本来就是流于形式的 | Aug 26, 2013 |
话说回来，这个一级证书，应该是业界最高的了。因此有这样的要求并不过分。
但我很怀疑，他们的评委是否有足够的能力与实战经验，来评判参加者的水准。

按照中英比例为极低的1.6来计算，一小时可以出产960汉字，一天八小时可以出产7680汉字，壮哉！如果一天工作10个半小时，日译万字成为可能。

汉译英速度每小时约400个汉字。
换算成英语后，大概是 250 个单词左右。我觉得对于一级翻译来说，这个要求还是比较合理的。

2、英译汉审定稿速度每小时约1200个单词；
定稿速度很难说，一般而言，我觉得“英译汉审定稿速度每小时约1200个单词”脱离目前中国英译汉译者的水平。这个速度受译稿质量和稿件的专业程度影响很大。

每小时 600 单词，又要达到“译文准确、完整、流畅，并能体现原文风格”。对于比较简单的材料，高手可以做得到。但是，如果是专业性比较强的材料，仍旧是个挑战。

汉译英审定稿速度每小时约800个汉字。
对于一般性的材料，我觉得这个速度还算合理，至少不太离谱。

不知哪些专家定的，他们好像计算反了。本来他们是要把双向的翻译速度定得一样，结果把汉字和英语单词的转换率弄反了。
按照上述规定，英译汉速度每小时约900个汉字；汉译英速度每小时约400个汉字。
或者：英译汉速度每小时约600个单词；汉译英速度每小时约300个单词。
睡着觉也能想明白的事。真是浮躁啊。中国的某些大翻译大专家大教授，比起我们来，也许只是用词考究一些，对翻译行业的整体理解，他们也许不如美国翻译公司的一个ENTRY LEVEL的PM。
真是浮躁。

这是考试，主要考察考生“下笔成章”的能力，即翻译经验和熟练水平。但六十分以上就算过关。
而在实际翻译工作中，译者不能在译稿达60%完美（60分）的情况下就给客户交稿吧，至少也得90%完美或者更高。
为了达到90%完美或者更高，翻译速度显然要慢下来，说不定要慢一倍。
因此，考试与实际翻译工作的侧重点不同，考试提出的翻译速度要求应该是合理的。

英译汉速度每小时约600个单词，相当于译出大约 1000 个汉字；
汉译英速度每小时约400个汉字，相当于译出大约 250 个单词；
1000 为 250 的 4 倍。确实值得商榷。

呵呵~笔译过程不是电脑打字，是手写。应该属于低级错误一类吧~

| Reasonable or not | Aug 26, 2013 |
Like jyuan pointed out, there might be an error in the word count calculation ratio.
As to the large amount of text they expect one to translate, it is a test after all. For a high level qualification test such as this, I don't think they expect anyone to be referencing any dictionaries or searching the Internet.

It's like taking a college entrance exam - of course the time is going to be tight. You can't expect the student to concentrate day after day at the same level of intensity as that during an important exam.
So I think it is reasonable.

Then again, maybe there's a reason for their test criteria. Could it be that the time needed to translate 600 English words into Chinese is about the same as that needed to translate 400 Chinese characters into English? Perhaps the exam board had gone through an exercise and determined the criteria based on empirical data.
It's hard to believe that an exam board would make a mistake on something like this.

The contents are more related to art and literature, and some might be political commentaries, I believe.
Therefore, it should be easy for a native Chinese to understand such contents. All that is left is to see how well the translator can paraphrase them in another language.

That could very well be, that they are assuming the majority of people taking the exam to be native-Chinese speakers, therefore making an allowance for the translation speed in the Chinese-to-English direction. IMO, the way the test is structured actually makes it more difficult for a non-native-Chinese speaker to score high because of the quick response required in rendering into good Chinese for the English-to-Chinese portion of the test.
