ABSTRACT

From the perspective of international market development and international cultural exchange, English is the main applied language, especially in most western countries. With the deepening of global economic integration and international trade, cultural collisions are becoming increasingly frequent, and interpretation in different languages is inevitably required. However, interpretation does not only mean transfer language, it also involves culture. In the practice of interpretation, some errors arise from the lack of cross-cultural awareness, which becomes pragmatic errors. Therefore, this article will mainly discuss cross-cultural pragmatic failures in English interpretation with some examples and specific solutions. Firstly, it will introduce what pragmatic failures are and typical types of failures, clarify the relationship between English interpretation and pragmatic failures, and then elaborate on representative cross-cultural pragmatic failures in English interpretation. Finally, it will summarize the reasons and solutions that lead to cross-cultural pragmatic failures in English interpretation, putting forward corresponding suggestions for reducing cross-cultural pragmatic failures.
