ABSTRACT Interpreting is important and popular nowadays owing to its communicative function in fields of politics, economy, culture, education and so on.However, it’s not easy to be a qualified interpreter because the training methods are not systematically completed.This thesis is mainly dealing with the methods of training short-term memory in consecutive interpreting(CI).According to Effort Model from Daniel Gile, the short term memory is an essential part in the process of interpreting.In order to be a qualified interpreter, student interpreters need large quantity of practice and skills.Considering of this, the author makes some research about the training of short term memory and hopes this training can help student interpreters improve short term memory.Key words: consecutive interpreting(CI);short term memory;Effort Model;training methods
口譯因其在政治、經濟、文化、教育等方面有著重要的交際功能,因此在當今社會越來越顯示出其重要性并且逐漸受到人們的重視。然而,由于目前口譯訓練方法仍然不夠系統和完整,因此想成為一名合格的口譯人員實屬不易。本論文主要介紹了交替傳譯中短時記憶的訓練方法。根據Daniel Gile 的精力分配模式,短時記憶在口譯過程中起到舉足輕重的地位。為了成為一名合格的譯員,訓練者需要進行大量的練習并且掌握口譯技巧。考慮到這個問題,筆者通過搜集整理和自己的親身經歷總結了短時記憶 的訓練方法,希望能夠幫助訓練者提高短時記憶。
1.Introduction There are three kinds of memory system and short term memory is the essential part in interpreting, so in this paper the author mainly does research about the short term memory.Chapter 1 is an introduction about planning of this paper.In Chapter 2, it shows a general introduction about interpreting and its current situation in China.This helps us to get a more clear understanding about advantages and disadvantages of CI in order to find the weaknesses.According to the analysis in Chapter 2, the author believes that the memory training is a big obstacle encountered by the student interpreters.Considering of this, the author decides to start with the memory system, so in Chapter 3, it mainly shows three types of memory systems as well as how they work and what functions they have and the illustration is focused on the concrete connections between the short term memory and CI.In Chapter 4, the author shows the characters of short term memory and the problems interpreters meet due to the characters.In Chapter 5, according to all above and research, the author finds some methods dealing with the problems.Finally is the conclusion and some suggestions in future research.2.Brief Introduction of Interpreting 2.1 Background information Interpreting becomes a very popular job nowadays due to the world globalization in fields of economy, politics, culture and s on.With the rising position of China, especially hosting of 2008 Olympic Games and 2010 Shanghai World Expo as well as entering WTO, China plays more and more important role in the world, so international communication become more frequently.This brings large requirement of interpreting which is considered responsive and practical, both quality and quantity.However, interpreting industry is facing serious situation: lacking of systematical training methods and high quantity of teachers.2.2 Definition of Interpreting Interpreting is the facilitating of oral or sign-language communication, either simultaneously or consecutively, between users of different languages.The process is described by both the words interpreting and interpretation.Professional Interpreting can be mainly classified into simultaneous interpreting and consecutive interpreting in terms of the way of interpreting.In consecutive interpreting(CI), the interpreter speaks after the source-language speaker has finished speaking.The speech is divided into segments, and the interpreter sits or stands beside the source-language speaker, listening and taking notes as the speaker progresses through the message.When the speaker pauses or finishes speaking, the interpreter then renders a portion of the message or the entire message in the target language.A qualified interpreter is required to cover various fields of knowledge and possesses good psychological quality as well as a strong memory.Due to this requirement, interpreting is a challengeable work.2.3 Quality of a good interpreter 2.3.1 Profound knowledge As a good interpreter, the basic quality is to master the source language and target language.Moreover, an interpreter should have a good knowledge of the culture of both countries, such as the customs, the history, the humorous expressions as well as the current event and popular tendency.For example, when interpreter heard “Baudelaire’s translation of Poe may be “better” poems than those Poe wrote;but those who read them have read Baudelaire's version of Poe;not Poe.” In this sentence, there are two names Baudelaire and Poe.Baudelaire is a French writer, who is famous for translating the works by American writer Edgar Allan Poe and is acknowledged better than the original works.If the interpreter knows this, it is not difficult to translate it as波德來爾所譯的愛倫坡的詩,也許比愛倫坡自己所寫的更好;但讀那些詩的人只是讀了波德來爾所譯的愛倫坡;而不是真正的愛倫坡.Therefore, a good interpreter should self enriching greatly and improving continuously.2.3.1 Strong memory Owing to the special characteristics of interpreting, interpreter should have a strong memory.On the one hand, interpreter has to master a large amount of vocabulary and idioms, such as畫蛇添足 to paint the lily;用小蝦釣大魚 to throw a sprat to catch a whale.Besides, for some Chinese idioms, interpreters should remember the original story, such as東施效顰Tung Shih imitates Hsi Shih.Hsi Shih was a famous beauty in the ancient kindgdom of Yueh.Tung Shih was an ugly girl who tried to imitate her ways.The ugly imitates the beautiful in such a distorted way that the ugliness of the ugly becomes even worse.On the other hand, interpreters should have a good memory to express the meaning speakers said.Owing to the limited time, note-taking can only write down the main point and the whole meaning can only be expressed though the strong memory.3.Memory System 3.1 Short term memory Short-term memory(or “primary” or “active memory”)is the capacity for holding a small amount of information in mind in an active, readily available state for a short period of time.The duration of short-term memory(when rehearsal or active maintenance is prevented)is believed to be in the order of seconds.In an early and highly influential article, The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two, the psychologist George Miller suggested that human short-term memory has a forward memory span of approximately seven items plus or minus two and that was well known at the time.David A.Sousa, in his book ,how the brain works refers to the term short term memory as all of the early steps of temporary memory leads to long term memory.According to his idea, short term memory can be divided into sensory memory and working memory.Sensory memory is the very first step for the source information coming into one’s brain with the shortest duration and can hold a certain amount of information, but these information can only lasts 0.25-2 seconds and disappears rapidly.Working memory refers to information stored for further processing.Working memory boasts both storage and processing functions.The two functions are interrelated with each other.When encountered with new or difficult tasks, then more processing capacity is required, thus leaving less capacity for storage function(David W.Carroll, 2000.49).During the researching, the authors doubts that decay causes forgetting from short-term memory often offer as an alternative some form of interference: When several elements(such as digits, words, or pictures)are held in short term memory simultaneously, their representations compete with each other for recall, or degrade each other.Thereby, new content gradually pushes out older content, unless the older content is actively protected against interference by rehearsal or by directing attention to it.3.2 Short term and long term memory Psychological studies of human memory make a distinction between short term memory and long term memory.The idea of short term memory simply means that you are retaining information for a short period of time without creating the neural mechanisms for later recall.Long-Term Memory occurs when you have created neural pathways for storing ideas and information which can then be recalled weeks, months, or even years later.To create these pathways, you must make a deliberate attempt to encode the information in the way you intend to recall it later.Long-term memory is a learning process.And it is essentially an important part of the interpreter's acquisition of knowledge, because information stored in long term memory may last for minutes to weeks, months, or even an entire life.The duration of short term memory is very short.It is up to 30 seconds.Peterson(1959)found it to be 6-12 seconds, while Atkinson and Schifrin(1968)and Herb(1949)state it is 30 seconds.Memory in CI only lasts for a short time.Once the interpreting assignment is over, the interpreter moves on to another one, often with different context, subject and speakers.Therefore, the memory skills which need to be imparted to trainee interpreters are short term memory skills.Another difference is that short term memory is processed largely in terms of speech sounds, while long term memory depends mostly on meaning.In the early 1960s, Conrad, in connection with work for the British Post Office, conducted experiments on memory for letter codes.Conrad’s subjects were presented visually with sequences of unrelated consonants and were required to write them down immediately afterwards.He noticed that the short term memory errors made were not random, but similar in the sound to the correct item.Subjects mistakenly remember the words as words with similar pronunciation more than similar spelling.This indicates that the material is more easily remembered in terms of their sound rather than their visual appearance.Since the interpreters deal with the vocal materials, short term memory can do well to training.3.3 The Effort Eodels by Daniel Gile(1)C = KL + ELK + A Comprehension =Knowledge for language+ Extra-linguistic Language + Analysis(2)CI =L + N + M + C Consecutive Interpreting =Listening Analysis+ Note-taking+ Short-term Memory+ Coordination In consecutive interpretation, the interpreter takes notes while the speaker speaks, then delivers speech to the listener in the target language according to his or her memory and notes.Consecutive interpretation is performed in two phases, the listening and note-taking phase, and the speech production phase.(3)CI = Rem + Read + P Consecutive Interpreting=Remembering+ Note-reading+ Speech Production
In phase two, high capacity in taking notes is beneficial to the Rem component, since good note-taking reduces the capacity requirements for Rem.Besides, mastering a certain amount of linguistic and extra-linguistic knowledge will lead to successful transferring form source language to target language.Since short term memory plays an important role in CI, the author decides to take a further step on short term memory.4.Characters of short term memory 4.1 Input of information It is generally held that information enters the short term memory as a result of applying attention to the stimulus, which is about a quarter of a second according to the findings of both Sperling(1960)and Crowden(1982).However, McKay's(1973, in Radford and Govier, 1991: 382)findings do not fully support this, asserting that unattended information may enter the short term memory.4.2 Capacity As mentioned in the previous section, the capacity of short term memory is limited and small.Atkinson and Shiffrin(1968)propose that it is seven items of information(give or take two).Miller(1956)says it is seven “chunks.” Another possibility may be that the limiting factor is not the short term memory's storage capacity, but its processing capacity(Gross: 1990:55).4.3 Modality To store information in short term memory, it must be encoded, and there is a variety of possibilities as to how this operates.There are three main possibilities in short term memory:(1)Acoustic(Phonemic)coding is rehearsing through sub-vocal sounds(Conrad, 1964 and Baddeley: 1966).(2)Visual coding is, as implied, storing information as pictures rather than sounds.This applies especially to nonverbal items, particularly if they are difficult to describe using words.In very rare cases some people may have a “photographic memory,” but for the vast majority, the visual code is much less effective than this(Posner and Keele: 1967).(3)Semantic coding is applying meaning to information, relating it to something abstract(Baddeley: 1990, Goodhead: 1999)4.4 Information Loss There are three main theories as to why we forget from our short term memory:(1)Displacement—existing information is replaced by newly received information when the storage capacity is full(Waugh and Norman: 1965)(2)Decay—information decays over time(Baddeley, Thompson and Buchanan, 1975).(3)Interference—other information present in the storage at the same time distorts the original information(Keppel and Underwood: 1962).4.5 Retrieval There are modes of retrieval of information from short term memory:(1)Serial search—items in short term memory are examined one at a time until the desired information is retrieved(Sternberg: 1966).(2)Activation—dependence on activation of the particular item reaching a critical point 5.Memory Training The purpose of short term memory training in CI is to achieve a better understanding of the source language, which will lead to adequate interpreting.As Lin Yuru et al.put it, “Memory in consecutive interpreting consists of nothing more than understanding the meaning, which is conveyed by the words”(Lin et al., 1999:9).Understanding is the first step in successful interpreting;therefore, memory training is to be provided in the early stage of interpreter training.Memory functions differently in consecutive and simultaneous interpreting because the duration of memory is longer in CI than in SI.There are different methods of training short term memory for CI and SI respectively.Interpreting starts with the encoding of the information from the original speaker.According to Gile's Effort Model, interpreting is short term memory-centered activity;the process of interpreting could be re-postulated into: Encoding of information from the Source Language + Storing Information + Retrieval of Information + Decoding Information into the Target language In Consecutive Interpreting, there is probably up to 15 minutes(depending on the speaker's segments)for the interpreter to encode and then store the information.This is the first phase of Gile's Effort Model for CI.In the second phase of Gile's Model, the interpreter starts to retrieve information and decode it into the target language.According to the previous description, there are three main possibilities of storing information in short term memory:(1)Acoustic Coding;(2)Visual Coding and(3)Semantic Coding.Visual coding may be used by interpreters in conference situations with multimedia.Notes in interpreting are to assist in such visual coding of information.But in most interpreting contexts, interpreters will depend on acoustic and semantic coding.Therefore, exercises should be designed for this purpose.The following methods are recommended: 5.1 Visualizing materials: Visualizing means that to visualize what the speaker is speaking, for instance, to form a scene to strengthen the short term memory of the interpreter.A British psychologist named Frederic C.Bartlett(1998:279)regarded memory as the reconstruction of an image.The conclusion of the study showed that the capacity of memory of pictures viewed and images is easier to remember than vocabulary and expressions This kind of exercise aims to promote the ability of an interpreter to actualize and visualize the information he listened, which is designed to sensibility of human’s brain to image of language resources.5.2 Retelling in the Source Language The instructor either reads or plays a recording of a text of about 200 words for the trainees to retell in the same language.The trainees should not be allowed to take any notes.In the first instance, trainees should be encouraged to retell the text in the same words of the original to the largest possible extent.The following tactics should be used by the trainees after a certain time of training on retelling: Categorization: Grouping items of the same properties;Generalization: Drawing general conclusions from particular examples or message from the provided text;Comparison: Noticing the differences and similarities between different things, facts and events;Description: Describing a scene, a shape, or size of an object, etc.Trainees are encouraged to describe, summarize, and abstract the original to a large extent in their own words in exercises.5.3 Mnemonic to Memory Mnemonic is a device, such as a formula or rhyme, used as an aid in remembering.Mnemonics are methods for remembering information that is otherwise quite difficult to recall.A very simple example of a mnemonic is the '30 days hath September' rhyme.The basic principle of Mnemonics is to use as many of the best functions of the human brain as possible to encode information.The human brain has evolved to encode and interpret complex stimuli—images, color, structure, sounds, smells, tastes, touch, spatial awareness, emotion, and language—using them to make sophisticated interpretations of the environment.Human memory is made up of all these features.Typically, however, information presented to be remembered is from one source—normally words on a page.While reading words on a page reflects one of the most important aspects of human evolution, it is only one of the many skills and resources available to the human mind.Mnemonics seek to use all of these resources.By encoding language and numbers in sophisticated, striking images which flow into other strong images, we can accurately and reliably encode both information and the structure of information to be easily recalled later(Manktelow:2003).5.4 Grouping information together Random lists of things(a shopping list, for example)can be especially difficult to remember.To make it easier, try categorizing the individual things from the list.If a person can remember that, among other things, he wanted to buy four different kinds of vegetables, he’ll find it easier to remember all four.Another example: probably ***818651898 won't be easily remembered, but try putting a space after every fourth number.Now those numbers are years, and they can be easily remembered by picking key events from each year(e.g., Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Civil War, and Spanish-American War).5.5 Association
The reason that most of people can't remember their friend's phone number is because 535-3473 just a string of numbers that have no obvious connection to their friend.In order to use one’s memory efficiently, the best way is to actively create an association for things one is trying to remember.For example, write out a phone number: five three five three four seven three.Now try to create a clever phrase that starts with the first letter of those words: fairy tales feel true for some time.Now that phone number can be much more easily remembered.Alternatively, one could create a story that involves 5 characters buying 3 things and doing 5 more things with them by using imagination.The point is that one wants to connect the phone number to something else.6.Conclusion Keeping a good short term memory in consecutive interpreting is a significant aspect, which the train interpreters need to grasp.From the above analysis, we can conclude that short term memory skills in consecutive interpreting could be acquired by effectively designed training methods.With a well-'trained' short-term memory, interpreters are actually equipped with an effective tool for the encoding and decoding information.Even though the author has found and summarized some training methods, these methods are not suitable for every trainee.In the future research, the author believes that every student interpreter needs to explore practical training methods for themselves, which can lead a better result for their future career and be transformed into theories.
第三篇:英語專業翻譯實踐報告
實踐報告
這周是英語專業的翻譯實踐周,這次的專業實習讓我受益匪淺,收獲頗多。專業實習的主要目的是要培養我們理論聯系實際,綜合運用所學基礎知識、基本理論和技能,獨立分析、解決問題的能力。在大學的第三學年,實習是一個很重要的環節,對我們以后的工作實習也有一定的幫助。所以,我們要端正態度,認真對待這次的專業實習。
我們的主要任務是進行英譯漢和漢譯英的翻譯實踐,為此在實踐的過程中,我總結了四種必備的翻譯工具:一是靈格斯翻譯工具,里面可安裝各式的詞典;二是百度搜索工具;三是有道詞典;四是英漢詞典;五是漢英詞典。翻譯的過程如下:首先可以現在靈格斯里查詢不懂的單詞和詞組,尋找最符合原文的解釋。然后采取同時在百度和有道詞典搜索的做法,并對同種搜索工具搜索結果進行比較。他們有著各自的優缺點。所以我們最后用到的就是英漢和漢英辭典,可以對我們翻譯之中的詞匯,進行最后的確認,確定出最最準確的譯法。
在翻譯過程中也遇到到了一些困難,這說明在漫漫的英語學習過程中我還要繼續努力。學如逆水行舟,不進則退,只要每天我認真學習,那就是一種進步。人生總歸會有許多挫折,但我們若不跨過這道坎,就不會有進步,滯留不前。我們要用有限的生命創造無限的價值,勇敢面對每一個挑戰。
翻譯是運用一種語言把另一種語言所表達的思維內容準確而完整地表達出來的語言行為。當然紙上談兵是無稽之談,光有理論知識而不實踐操作也是沒有用的。有位翻譯家這么說過,“學翻譯猶如學游泳。只在岸邊看別人游,或只聽教練講解,是學不會的。”所以要想提高自己的翻譯能力,一定要通過實踐。實踐可以分為兩類,直接的實踐和間接的實踐。
所謂直接的實踐,就是自己親身參加的實踐,也就是自己動手翻譯。一回生,二回熟,日積月累,第一手經驗多了,做起來得心應手,翻譯能力有所提高。所謂“熟能生巧”,就是這個道理。但自己能譯的東西是有限的,從這種實踐中得出的經驗也是有限的。因此,還需要借助于間接的實踐。
所謂間接的實踐,就是研究別人的譯文。比如,一篇文章在手,準備翻譯,這時先找一些有關的資料或同類文章的譯文看一看,在詞語和風格方面定會有所借鑒。別人的譯文是別人直接實踐的產物,看了別人的譯文,就是從事間接實踐。從總結經驗的角度來看,直接實踐和間接實踐具有同等的價值。因此,有空的時候,找一些譯文來,尤其是好的譯文,加以研究,總結出一些規律性的東西,對于提高自己的翻譯能力是大有好處的。
經過這幾天的翻譯實踐,心里感觸良多,收獲也頗多,從中也學到了很多東西,總結出了幾點體會:
一、翻譯的工作性質需要我們仔細、認真并且耐心。翻譯是一項慢中出細活的工作,要坐得住,穩得住,要一絲不茍地對待,字字斟酌,句句思量,嚴格遵守“信、雅、達”的翻譯標準,力求把譯文翻譯得通順準確,忠實原文。
二、英語和其他學科知識的積累。毫無疑問,要想成為一個出色的翻譯工作者,就必須同時具有高水平的語言能力和某一領域的專業知識。這一次的翻譯實踐大大拓寬了我的視野,積累了不少專業的英語詞匯,也逐漸認清科技英語文章的翻譯特點。
三、計算機操作能力需要提高,尤其是中英文打字的水平。現在翻譯文章無不需要借助于電腦,翻譯的過程中直接考驗了一個人的打字水平,現在我的中文打字速度還不是很快,所以,我要多多加強我的打字能力。
四、為成為一個合格的翻譯者打下了基礎。在這次的翻譯過程中,我學到了很多的翻譯技巧,這對我來說是一個很大的收獲。我相信自己的能力,對自己的翻譯生涯充滿了熱切的期待。也許我不是天才,不能一下子就成為優秀的翻譯者,但我愿意先從一個合格的翻譯者做起,從合格到優秀,一直努力,一直在進步,這才是我一生所應該追求的夢想。
書山有路勤為徑,學海無涯苦作舟。在這幾天的專業實習的翻譯實訓中,我學習到了很多東西,也發現自己的翻譯水平更待提高。在以后的日子里,要多多練習英語翻譯,努力提高英語翻譯水平,為迎接往后的挑戰做好充分的準備。

在結束大學的三年生活之后,為了能充分將所學的知識轉化為工作能力,為了能更好地了解自我,鍛煉自身的社會活動能力,了解社會現實,為明年畢業、就業做好準備。今年暑期我在昆明風動新科技集團發展有限公司進行了為期半個月的實習。
昆明風動新科技集團發展有限公司位于昆明市昆明民族高新科技工業開發區,科泰路M-12。昆明風動新技術集團發展有限公司,是中國煙草機械總公司專業生產大型煙草預壓打包機、氣力式煙絲輸送分配系統的國內定點廠,是昆明市人民政府扶優扶強重點扶持的骨干企業,是云南省科技廳認定的高新技術企業,是國家制糖機械設計制造的重點企業。經過近幾年的產業結構調整以及公司整體的產權制度改革,現已發展成為以煙草機械為主體,機械立體物流倉庫(立體車庫)、制糖機械、蜂窩紙板生產線及蜂窩紙制品、金屬屋面系統等業務多元化發展的現代股份制企業。
從6月16日到7月8日,我進行了為其3周的實習,每天早上8點鐘上班,開始了一天忙碌的工作,中午有一個小時的午休,下午5點整下班。實習期間主要負責翻譯資料填寫表格。
我與其他兩位同學一起來到公司實習,我們三人組每天早上基本上都能夠提前10分鐘到達公司。在工作時間認真完成工作;在休息時間與公司的人員多溝通交流,通過一周的實習,我基本上適應了公司的環境。而公司人員都非常支持我們的工作,提供了忠實的意見與寶貴的機會來提升鍛煉我們的能力,而正是這些信任給了我們進步的壓力與動力,讓我們有了緊迫感。
我被分到了人力資源部,第一天就接到了翻譯“SGS的焊工資格認證書的任務”,這對我來說是一個艱巨的任務,因為里面的專業術語太多,而且很多是縮略語,需要到網上查閱大量的資料才能確定如何翻譯。而且有些詞是有兩種意義的,例如:NA,它一方面可以表示“無”,另外也可以表示“國家級的”,兩種意思差別巨大,而且無上下文可以聯系進行判斷。最終,在翻閱大量資料后,我確定NA是無的意思。所以我覺得要更優質、更高效地完成工作必要的工具書是不可或缺的。
因此我充分意識到了,雖然在學校里學了很多英語單詞掌握了英語語法與常用術語,但是對專業英語詞匯以及用法卻知之甚少,所以工作之余要下很大的功夫熟悉這方面的術語并且向朋友借了一本專業翻譯詞典。
我們工作的時候應該認真仔細,要知道稍微的疏忽可能會給公司帶來巨大的損失。所以工作的時候盡量與別人合作。例如,翻譯工作,難免會發生錯誤,所以我會請別人校正,以保證準確無誤的完成工作。
作為一名實習生我們首先要端正心態,心態決定這我們的工作狀態,不要認為“我們還是學校的學生”,就可以做好做壞無所謂,上班可以遲到,有事沒事可以經常請假。應該把自己看成該單位的試用期員工,這樣有利于我們未來的就業,達到實習目的。
我覺得做事應當先學會做人。我們應該與同事形成一種良好的關系,互幫互助。當在地上發現垃圾,或者有誰的東西掉到地上時,應當主動地撿起啦。上下班的時候幫助同事們開關門窗,檢查用電情況,這都是我們實習生應當做的。不論實習工作是否對口,我們都應當努力去做,我想任何的工作都會是我們將來工作的一部分,去填寫表格文件,處理文字資料我們都應當認真對待。在實習中,我經常幫助大家做些電腦方面的事情。這或許就是一種主動積極的做事方法。
作為單位的新人,我們對業務往往不熟,甚至還會出錯。例如:一次填寫表格,我的確是按要求把“居住在公司宿舍的人”的居住地址寫成科泰路,但我卻沒有注意居住在其他宿舍的不能寫成科泰路,犯了一次小錯誤。所以我們一定要虛心請教,避免犯些錯誤。向人請教還有一點好處,就是他們的工作經驗會是你少走很多彎路,例如我在做一個表格的時候,欣欣自喜,因為我覺得我年輕,做那種表格會比別人快很多,結果我累了一上午,終于把表格做好,卻發現他們在審閱的時候用了另外一種方法。我一直在旁邊看著,我覺得這是工作中的一種學習與收獲。
我第一天就因為坐得久了或者不習慣這里的生活而感到疲倦,有點坐著不耐煩。但是過了幾天,我慢慢的開始習慣了這種辦公室的生活。現在在辦公室,有閑的時候就會看一些英語方面的資料,有時候和大家談談,感受辦公室的生活,積累工作經驗。我覺得這次實習對我影響最大的就是讓我在工作實踐中領悟到了工作作風以及在工作過程中專業知識對工作的重要性,以及讓我體會到了工作的生活。
半個月的實習生活,使我真正體會到作為一名辦公室工作人員的忙碌生活。雖然我的事情并不多,但我的同事們不停地在工作,中午只有一個小時的時間休息,有時候還要主動加班。甚至有一天公司停電,同事們還要處理、裝訂文件。辦公室的生活其實是很忙碌的,并不像我以前想的那樣悠然自得,不用去做什么累人的體力活。
這次實習是我人生中的一次重要的經歷,對將來走上工作崗位產生積極地影響。我體會到了專業知識與工作閱歷對工作的技巧與工作效率的深刻影響。我充分明白了理論結合實際的現實意義。在工作中提升自我,與不斷提升自己的素質的重要性。
