Abstract
Eye-tracking technology is an objective and scientific indicator of cognitive effort during language processing. Applying eye-tracking technology can help analyze sight translation( ST) process from a psycholinguistic perspective. This article gives a brief introduction of ST-related studies by means of eye-tracking in recent years which mainly focus on cognitive effort,reading pattern,source language interference,errors and translation strategies. These studies have attempted to establish a link between interpreters’ eye movement parameters and interpreting process. In light of these studies,the author summarizes existing problems from different perspectives. The author believes that integration of eye-tracking and other data collection methodologies and study of ST process in a multimedia environment will deepen and enrich the study of ST process
