摘要

Interpretation is a face-to-face cross-cultural communication. Understanding and avoiding pragmatic failure is of great significance to interpretation. Guided by the theory of pragmatic failure in pragmatics,this paper analyses pragmatic failure,i.e. pragmatic-linguistic failure and socio-pragmatic failure,which frequently emerge in interpretation,aiming at reducing misunderstanding in conmunication.
