Based on the corpora CECIC (Chinese English conference interpretation corpus) and OENC (original English news corpus), this paper studies explicitation in the Chinese-English press conference interpreting in Chinese-English news conference interpretation in order to further explore explicitation in interpretation. This paper compares the numbers of connectives so as to provide a new typology of explicitation. In addition, it also discusses the motivations of explicitation from the aspects of the characteristics of interpretation itself, the habits of different interpreters and the different linguistic norms of Chinese and English.
