摘　　要：本研究对某大学英语专业三年级本科生先后进行了听力广度实验和无笔记情况下的英汉交替传译实验,旨在探究受试在两次实验中对不同词类的记忆效果是否具有某种显著性的模式,以及不同词类的记忆效果与他们在口译活动中所犯的词汇错误是否具有一定关联性。结果显示,在受试的工作记忆中存在着词类效应。本研究提出一个关于受试记忆效果的量化方式,借此来解释与研究假设不一致的数据结果。最后,本研究提出了未来可能的研究方向。This study aims to probe which type of word is more prone to errors in English-Chinese consecutive interpreting and whether such result sits well with the workings of working memory. A listening span task and an English-Chinese consecutive interpreting test without note-taking were implemented, in which the participants were all year-three undergraduate English-majors. The research was motivated by two hypotheses: 1) both tasks should manifest a concreteness effect, namely, concrete words should command a better memory effect than abstract ones. Specifically, nouns should be best memorized and prepositions worst;and 2) word type effect should exist in both tasks, i.e., some types of words are easy to remember by nature while others are not. The results yielded by the study provided little positive evidence to Hypothesis 1, but lent strong support to Hypothesis 2. Explanations and inferences were presented to account for the counter-intuitive results found in this study;and possible avenues of research in future were suggested.
