Academic Text Translation Study Based On An Approach To Translation As Adaptation And Selection

After1980s, more and more attention had been paid to domestic translation with the development of China’s revolution and opening up. Academic text translation became vigorously researched and developed. Academic text translation is necessary for culture, theory and advanced thoughts transmission. As a typical academic text, An Introduction to Sociolinguistics:Society and Identity can pave a way to further sociolinguistics study with rich examples and study theories in the book.Proposed by Hu Gengshen, the theory of an Approach to Translation as Adaptation and Selection is a translation adaptation and selection on language structure, culture features and communication meaning, etc. during translation. The translation principle of this theory is multidimensional adaptation and selection, and its translation strategy is multidimensional transformation, which are adaptation and selection from such dimensions as language, culture and communication.From the analysis on the academic text An Introduction to Sociolinguistics:Society and Identity translation from the perspective of language, culture and communication under the theory of an Approach to Translation as Adaptation and Selection, I hope my translation ability can be improved and domestic scholars can further understand the latest sociolinguistic theories abroad.
