在复杂的跨国背景下的口译已成为翻译和口译学者最近感兴趣的领域。这些背景为解释的社会学概念化提供了肥沃的土壤，作为一种位于个人代理和社会专业背景界面的新兴实践。根据我们为红十字国际委员会和联合国难民署培训口译员的经验，我们对“人道主义口译”有了基于职位的理解，并定义了这一新的分析类别。本文以人道主义口译员的两种典型特征为基础，对影响红十字国际委员会和联合国难民署口译员在人道主义领域地位的内在因素和相关因素进行了比较分析，并描述了这些口译员面临的一些道德困境。我们进一步讨论了在人道主义和其他背景下（如军事行动和庇护环境）解释的潜在异同。
Interpreting in complex transnational contexts has emerged as a recent area of interest for translation and interpreting scholars. These contexts provide a fertile ground for a sociological conceptualization of interpreting, as an emergent practice situated at the interface of individual agency and a socio-professional context. Drawing on our experiences in training interpreters for the ICRC and the UNHCR we develop a positionality-based understanding of ‘humanitarian interpreting’ and define this new analytical category. Based on two paradigmatic profiles of humanitarian interpreters, we present a comparative analysis of the intrinsic and relational factors shaping the positionality of ICRC and UNHCR interpreters in the humanitarian field and describe some of the ethical dilemmas these interpreters face. We furthermore discuss potential similarities and differences between interpreting in humanitarian and other contexts, such as military operations and asylum settings.
