ABSTRACT: The outbreak of COVID-19 has changed the teaching model of international education.
In order to ensure that education can be carried out as scheduled, some transnational
courses have to be taken online. This paper begins with a brief review of related
studies on remote interpreting and class interpreting. Based on the Effort Model
proposed by Daniel Gile, this paper analyzes the interpreting difficulties which
can be divided into two parts: information comprehension and language expression,
including the information input difficulties caused by the long speaking turn of
the speaker. Insufficient interpreting output such as information redundancy and
filled pauses. In view of the difficulties mentioned above, this paper summarizes
the specific strategies that the interpreter applies to deal with such problems,
such as simplifying information structure, summarizing redundant information, and
supplementing missing information strategies.
