الملخص

يواجه المترجمون المبتدئون تحديات كبيرة في إتقان مكونات الترجمة التعاقبية بسبب الصعوبات المتعددة التي تواجههم أثناء فترة التدريب. إذ يجب عليهم أولا تعلم كيفية فهم الرسائل المنطوقة، قبل أن يشرعوا في ممارسة مهارات الترميز وتدوين الملاحظات، وفي الوقت ذاته فكّ ترميز هذه الملاحظات وتحويلها شفويا لترجمة النصوص المنطوقة. تتناول هذه الدراسة التحديات الرئيسية التي يواجهها طلبة الترجمة في مساق الترجمة التعاقبية من خلال فحص أربعة عناصر أساسية، هي: الفهم، وتدوين الملاحظات وترميزها، وفكّ رموز الملاحظات المكتوبة، وتقديم الترجمة النهائية. شملت الدراسة عينة من طلبة قسم الترجمة، حيث تم جمع البيانات من 409 طالبا باستخدام استبيان منظم قائم على مقياس ليكرت. وقد أظهرت النتائج أن تدريب المترجمين على الترجمة التعاقبية يرافقها عقبات كبيرة على عدة اصعدة، حيث أصبحت مهارات تدوين وترميز الملاحظات والفهم أبرز العوائق أمام التقدم الأكاديمي. كما أن ضعف مهارات الفهم يُشكل عقبة إضافية في مختلف مراحل الترجمة التعاقبية. وخلُصت الدراسة الى ضرورة تبني أساليب تدريس متخصصة لتحسين تدريب المترجمين من خلال التعامل مع التحديات المستهدفة. كما وتُسهم نتائج البحث هذا في دراسات الترجمة من خلال تقديم استراتيجيات تعليمية ملموسة يمكن أن تُفيد المدرسين والمتدربين، بل ومطوري المناهج الذين يسعون لتعزيز قدرات الطلبة في التعامل مع مهام الترجمة التعاقبية.
