孙杨听证会翻译“抢戏” 同传频失误临时换交传

当地时间11月15日，孙杨兴奋剂争议事件听证会在瑞士蒙特勒（Montreux）举行。

如此关键的场合，现场的同声传译频频失误，甚至关键词汇翻译出错，成为了媒体关注的焦点。听证会现场，世界反兴奋剂机构（World Anti-Doping Agency, WADA）和孙杨两方多次指出翻译问题。

在听证会间歇时刻，仲裁法庭同意更换同传人员，随后，采用交传来确保听证会顺利进行。

在最后总结陈词部分，还有一段小插曲，情绪激动的孙杨，语速较快，导致交传仍偶尔未能跟上节奏。中途，孙杨甚至喊上了一位在听众席的“译员”当“外援”，但被仲裁小组主席拒绝。

Swimming: Doping officials failed to prove identity, says Sun

Olympic swimming champion Sun Yang told an appeal hearing on Friday that he refused to take an out-of-competition doping test last year as the three anti-doping officials who turned up at his home in China could not prove their identity.

hearing

表示“审讯；审理；听审；听证会”，英文解释为“an official meeting at which the facts about a crime, complaint, etc. are presented to the person or group of people who will have to decide what action to take”。

During a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) hearing dogged by translation problems, Sun said: “I realised they didn’t have any papers to prove their identification.

许多问题破坏了该事件的顺利进行。

比如卫报（The Guardian）的标题：Translation problems mar Sun Yang's hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

“The officials were not even capable of proving their identity. How could I allow them to take my sample? If they had been professional and had shown their identification, we would not be here today.”

Sun has been cleared of wrongdoing by swimming's governing body FINA over his conduct during a random late-night drug test at his home in September last year, however, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has appealed to CAS against that ruling.

Sun faces a potential ban of up to eight years, which would rule him out of next year's Tokyo Olympics, if he loses the case as he served a three-month suspension in 2014 for taking the stimulant trimetazidine.

表示“把…排除在外；拒绝考虑”，英文解释为“to decide or say officially that something is impossible or will not happen, or that something or someone is not suitable”举个🌰：

The 27-year-old is one of China's top sportsman, having won two golds at the 2012 Olympics and another in 2016, and the case has attracted huge interest in his homeland.

A FINA report said that Sun questioned the credentials of the testers before members of his entourage smashed the vials containing his blood samples with a hammer. He has denied any wrongdoing.

entourage

vial

Sun competed at this year's world championships in South Korea under the shadow of the appeal and three rivals snubbed him after races.

I think she felt snubbed because Anthony hadn't bothered to introduce himself.

The 10-hour hearing, held at a lakeside hotel next door to the venue for the annual Montreux Jazz Festival, began with a testimony from Sun. In a break from convention, the hearing was held in public at Sun's request.

听证会现场，同传人员甚至将“200次”药检，翻译成了血液“200毫升”。孙杨律师伊恩·梅金（Ian Meakin）多次指出翻译问题，“翻译太差了（the translation was so bad）。”

“如果你想让他回答这个问题，翻译必须是正确的（If you want him to answer the question, the translation must be correct）。”

@Torrey Hart: This is how the translator interpreted Sun's description of when he obtained the vials of his blood, which were eventually smashed 🤔

Much of his evidence was difficult to understand because of translation problems.

“The translator has not translated,” said Sun's lawyer Ian Meakin. “He doesn't understand.”

Shortly afterwards, Meakin complained again. “I'm sorry.... but the translation was so bad...”

“If you want him to answer the question, the translation must be correct,” Meakin said referring to a WADA question which had been translated into Chinese as “200 millilitres of blood” instead of “200 times”.

CAS general secretary Matthieu Reeb said that the interpreters were provided by the participants and admitted the problems made the hearing more complex. The translator was changed for the afternoon session.

Sun said he had filmed the whole incident and asked for it to be shown in the hearing.

“I am pretty sure everyone would be shocked and surprised,” he said. The head of the CAS panel said they would review the video later.
