Signed language is a natural language for verbal communication of the deaf and people hard of hearing. Both signed and oral language interpretation are activities that convert one language into another. They are similar with each other in terms of interpreting strategy, model, skills and so on. Sign language interpretation teaching and research can be integrated with oral interpretation teaching and research. China today urgently needs more multi-talented people than skillful language users. This paper holds if English majors learn signed language and can interpret between CSL, Chinese, and English, they must be warmly welcome in the employment market. Such interpreters with compound abilities are able to bridge the gap between hearing and deaf people even from different countries. This is of necessity and feasibility.
