2005年9月27日，剛剛成立的英國皇家特許語言學家學會（Chartered Institute of Linguists）授予英國翻譯協(xié)會（Institute of Translation and Interpreting -ITI）主席、歐洲議會成員Diana Wallis第一榮譽會員稱號。頒證儀式在英國倫敦的外國和英聯(lián)邦事務辦公室舉行，皇家特許語言學家學會的監(jiān)護人肯特郡邁克親王出席了儀式。

Diana Wallis在頒證儀式上發(fā)表了講話，內(nèi)容如下：

 

　　"能夠成為注冊語言學家首名榮譽會員，我深感榮幸，同時也倍覺慚愧。在我從事律師職業(yè)以及從政的生涯中，語言一直在我生活中占較大比重，但我決不會自詡為一名職業(yè)語言學家。因此，我接受這一榮譽是與我作為英國翻譯協(xié)會主席的身份相符的，是代表我們協(xié)會里所有職業(yè)語言學家的。對于皇家特許語言學家學會和英國翻譯協(xié)會的成員而言，獲得皇家特許代表我們?nèi)〉昧碎L足的進步，充分說明翻譯職業(yè)終于獲得了應有的認可。我們兩個組織在這一關(guān)鍵的時刻應該攜手共進。

Press Release

Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI)

 

Diana Wallis Member of the European Parliament and President of the UK based Institute of Translation and Interpreting is today (27th September 2005) being awarded the first Honorary Member of the newly formed Chartered Institute of Linguists. The award takes place in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London, England and the Chartered Institute's patron His Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent will present the award.

Diana Wallis said:-

"I am both delighted and humbled to receive the award of first Honorary Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists

 

Languages have been a large part of my life both as a lawyer and a politician but I would never pretend to be a professional linguist. That is why my acceptance of this honour is very much in my role as the President of ITI and therefore on behalf of all our members who work as professional linguists. For members of the Chartered Institute of Linguists and the Institute of Translation and Interpreting the attainment of a Royal Charter represents a huge advance and delivers richly deserved recognition of the profession. It is apt that our institutes should be seen to be moving forward together at this key moment.

As a long time consumer of language services both as a lawyer and now as a European politician I am all too aware that the linguists have not been properly recognised and valued; a Royal Charter brings us nearer to that goal."
