摘　　要：《中国英语能力等级量表》中的口译量表提供了一套衡量口译能力与口译质量的描述语体系,为口译教、学、测奠定了基础。在系统阐述口译量表研究成果的基础上,提出未来口译量表的研究应聚焦于量表的验证和应用。口译量表的验证研究旨在进一步证明量表的合理性,为进一步修订提供理据,研究内容包括口译能力描述语分类框架与描述语等级的实证数据验证。口译量表的应用研究旨在更好发挥量表作为统一能力标准的应用价值,研究内容包括量表如何服务于口译学习、口译教学和口译测评,以及量表对口译学科和翻译行业发展的推动作用等。Interpreting Competence Scales in the China’s Standards of English Language Ability(CSE)are an innovative achievement in interpreting studies.They offer a descriptor-referenced system to measure interpreting competence and quality,thereby solving fundamental issues in interpreting competence and quality research.This paper contributes to the development of Interpreting Competence Scales in the CSE by drawing attention to its validation and application studies.It starts by summarizing contributions of previous studies on the Scales and identifying gaps in existing scholarship.Drawing on previous research in interpreting competence and language competence,researchers differentiated the concepts of interpreting competence and comprehensive language competence,defined the construct of interpreting competence within the CSE,and proposed an operational scheme of description to link between real-life tasks and the construct of interpreting competence.Mixed-method-based empirical studies were also conducted to scale and validate the interpreting descriptors with large-scale surveys.With the validated descriptors,researchers also explored the use of the Scales in formative assessment and self-regulated learning of interpreting.Based on the systematic overview of current achievements,the paper then sets targets for future research of the Scales from two aspects,namely further validation and application.Due to the limitations of previous validations,there is an urgent need to validate the proposed construct of interpreting competence,the categorization and the levels of interpreting descriptors by investigating particularly translation and interpreting(T&I)teachers,students or professional interpreters.In the paper,various empirical methods are suggested to verify the construct of interpreting competence and the categorization of interpreting descriptors.For further validation of descriptor levels,three aspects are discussed.First,to measure the difficulty levels of the interpreting descriptors by looking at the descripto
