2018年6月22日（周五）上午9时，受3044am永利集团邀请，国际译联法庭口译和法律翻译委员会主席Prof. Liese Katschinka，在人文逸夫楼A2014学术报告厅为公司师生做了题为“Legal Translation and Interpreting (LTI) in Europe: Overview”的学术讲座。3044am永利集团多位骨干教师和英语专业研究生参加了次场讲座。讲座由3044am永利集团邢星老师主持。
讲座中，Liese Katschinka教授从宏观层面介绍了欧洲法律翻译的概况，主要从以下几个问题展开：（1）国际LTI的制度特征。不同地区之间存在差异，制度会根据当地的经济政治、历史文化等因素进行不同程度的调整。这就要求译员能够根据当地的特色进行翻译活动。（2）译员的素养。合格的译员必须具备良好的双语能力、跨文化素养和超强的抗压能力。前两者是译员的基本功，后一个是职业性质的要求，要求译者必须在注意力高度集中、大脑高速运转的状态下工作，同时要有能快速有效地处理各种突发状况的能力。（3）什么是“actual practices”。 它涉及司法利益相关者协议、LIT专业化组织以及用户和服务提供商之间的合作。译员需要在实践过程中不断熟悉自己的业务内容，不断提高自己的专业素养和专业能力。（4）CPD对译员的要求。CPD的形式多种多样，主要有培训课程、实习培训和科学研究等。它对译员的要求是终身的，只有不断地学习充电才能不被行业所淘汰。（5）28个欧盟国家的LIT现状：Liese Katschink教授对28个国家的法律翻译现状依次做了介绍，不同国家的体系各具特色。例如荷兰有详细的LIT数据库；爱尔兰没有官方译员数据库，他们依赖专业组织和使馆成员；又如马耳他刚刚建立起国家LIT数据库。总体来说,有的国家已经有非常系统完善的制度体系；有的国家还在发展中，不够健全，还有很长一段发展道路。
最后Liese Katschinka教授提供了一个LTI的信息网站，供有兴趣的师生了解更多的相关知识：www.eulita.eu。现场的提问环节，老师和同学们都积极与Liese Katschinka教授交流互动。其中安鲜红老师问道：“成为一名优秀译员有没有什么秘诀？”教授说译员的路上没有捷径，只有——“work”，“learn” and “practice”。来自Liese Katschinka教授的权威回答，更加坚定了同学们朝着翻译方向不懈努力的决心。整场讲座气氛融洽，Liese Katschinka教授的精彩演讲获得了全场听众的阵阵掌声。
