近年来，国外社区口译研究发展迅速，而我国在此方面的研究却较少且未引起足够重视。本研究搜集了国外近40年来社区口译研究的1426篇文献，建立了数据库，并通过科学计量的方法进行分析研究，试图发现其发展的进程、特点和趋势，为国内未来社区口译的深层次、细化研究提供可能的借鉴和参考。

Compared with the rapid development of research on Community Interpreting in western countries, less attention and research has been given to Community Interpreting in China in recent years. The author establishes a bibliography database consisting of 1426 items and uses bibliometric methods to analyze the development and features of Community Interpreting in western countries in the past four decades and its trend in future. The research aims to provide possible reference to future in-depth and specific research on Community Interpreting in China.
