1.1 目的: 1.1.1 本指南参考机构间语言圆桌会议（ILR）量表，描述了开发和使用语言口译性能测试需要考虑的因素。它旨在帮助人们委托、开发或选择用于评估口译技能的评估工具。 1.1.2 根据本指南制定的任何测试的目的都是根据机构间语言圆桌会议口译技能水平描述（ILR SLD）对候选人的口译技能进行评分。分配的任何通过/失败评级应参考候选人测试的特定ILR级别。 1.1.3 所有测试的目标应明确定义，并提供令人信服的证据来证明任何主张、推论和决定的合理性。 1. 1.4 本指南侧重于两种类型的评估；一个是筛选候选人，另一个是评估实际口译技能。它还概述了每种方法的适当特性和用途。 1.1.5 在评估实际口译技能时，应该注意的是，根据ILR，所有必要的技能都符合专业表现水平3，以实现合理准确、可靠和可信的口译。 1.2 限制: 1.2.1 本指南旨在解决以下领域中使用的测试开发: 1.2.1.1 翻译 1.2.1.2 音频翻译， 1.2.1.3 转录/翻译， 1.2.1.4 诊断评估， 1.2.1.5 不太常见的测试语言，以及 1.2.1.6 其他特定于工作的语言性能测试。 1.2.2 本指南也并非旨在对测试口译能力的每种可能方法进行明确描述，也没有规定在有效和可靠的口译技能测试中必须使用的确切参数。 然而，它确实提出了一些方法来帮助测试设计者和用户确定使用测试是否合适和合理。 1.2.3 本指南的目的不在于阐述管理组织如何提供口译服务的辅助流程和程序。 1.3 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 预期用途: 4.1.1 本指南旨在帮助设计或评估筛选和解释测试，或两者兼而有之。 4.1.2 本指南还满足了测试和解释其他相关ASTM标准中确定的性能的需要（见实践 F2889 和实践 F2089 ). 4.2 遵守指南: 4.2.1 合规性要求用户确定本指南的哪些部分适用于其特定用途和情况。应充分解释不遵守任何章节的决定。

1.1 Purpose: 1.1.1 This guide describes factors to be considered for the development and use of language interpreting performance tests, referencing the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) scale. It is intended to help people commission, develop, or select assessment tools for the evaluation of interpreting skills. 1.1.2 The purpose of any test developed following this guide is to rate a candidate's interpreting skills according to the Interagency Language Roundtable Skill Level Descriptions for Interpreting Performance (ILR SLDs for Interpreting). Any pass/fail rating assigned should reference the specific ILR level at which the candidate has tested. 1.1.3 The objectives for all tests should be clearly defined and convincing evidence presented to justify any claims, inferences, and decisions. 1.1.4 This guide focuses on two types of assessment; one is for screening candidates, and the other is for evaluating actual interpreting skills. It also outlines the appropriate characteristics and uses of each. 1.1.5 When evaluating actual interpreting skills, it should be noted that according to ILR, it is at the Professional Performance Level 3 that all necessary skills align to enable a reasonably accurate, reliable, and trustworthy interpretation. 1.2 Limitations: 1.2.1 This guide is not intended to address test development for use in the following areas: 1.2.1.1 Translation, 1.2.1.2 Audio Translation, 1.2.1.3 Transcription/Translation, 1.2.1.4 Diagnostic Assessments, 1.2.1.5 Less-commonly tested languages, and 1.2.1.6 Other job-specific language performance tests. 1.2.2 This guide also does not purport to prescribe definitive descriptions of every possible approach for testing interpreting performance, nor does it prescribe the exact parameters that must be used in a valid and reliable test of interpreting skills. It does, however, suggest approaches to help test designers and users determine whether the use of a test is appropriate and justifiable. 1.2.3 This guide is not intended to address ancillary processes and procedures governing how organizations provide interpreting services. 1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 Intended Use: 4.1.1 This guide is intended to assist in the design or evaluation of screening and interpreting tests, or both. 4.1.2 This guide also satisfies the need for testing interpreting performance identified in other relevant ASTM standards (see Practice F2889 and Practice F2089 ). 4.2 Compliance with the Guide: 4.2.1 Compliance requires the user to identify which sections of this guide apply to their specific use and circumstances. The decision to not adhere to any sections should be fully explained.
