CAT 電腦輔助翻譯，TM 翻譯記憶和MTPE 機器翻譯後續編輯–電腦輔助翻譯在譯員培訓所扮演的角色

CAT, TM and MTPE. The Role of Computer Assisted Translation in Interpreter Training

近幾十年來，由於電腦文書處理系統和電腦輔助翻譯軟體（CAT）的普遍運用，翻譯工作者的工作環境也因此徹底改變。這種變化必須反映在翻譯技能的培訓上，因為CAT 翻譯輔助軟體的運用不僅能提高翻譯工作的效率、也可以確保譯文的一致性和翻譯的品質。透過此類培訓，善於應用CAT 軟體的翻譯者，可以不斷加強其翻譯技能，並增加其就業機會（Qian 49; Su 70）。本論文試圖闡釋如何將機器翻譯（MT）、電腦輔助翻譯及機器翻譯的後續編譯工作（MTPE）納入翻譯技能培訓中。最主要的動機是希望能滿足現代翻譯者的新需求，因為不利用電腦將無法完成日常的翻譯工作。同時，本論文將介紹電腦輔助翻譯科技發展的現況，並分析目前坊間學界業界流通的六種翻譯輔助軟體及其利弊得失。本論文所提出的一些特殊問題及對CAT 軟體的評估，主要是來自對台灣的大學於德-漢翻譯技能培訓上的觀察。但是，在跟台灣學術界的德─漢翻譯環境生態無直接相關的狀況下，本論文的內容依然有其運用價值。

In recent decades, the working environment for translators has been fundamentally changed by the advent of computerized word processing and specialized software for translators (CAT).This change must be reflected in the training of translators, because the use of CAT software ensures efficiency of translation as well as consistency and quality of the target text. An expertise in the use of CAT, acquired during training, reinforces translaion skills and improves individual career opportunities (Qian 49; Su 70). This paper aims to demonstrate how machine translation (MT), computeraided translation and post-editing of computer-generated translations (MTPE) could be integrated into translator training. It was motivated by the changing needs of professional translators, who, without the use of computers, would not be able to cope with their daily translation tasks. The presentation of specific problems and the evaluation of CAT software for this essay focuses on the situation of Sino- German translator training in Taiwanese universities. Its main plea, however, is valid for other languages and countries.
