Representation Of Academic Writing Style In Translation

In the context of globalization and informatization, more and more academic exchanges are carried out in the aspects of politics, economy, culture etc. between China and other countries; domestic academic monographs also attract more and more attention on the international arena. Different from ordinary articles, academic monographs have their unique features: the serious style, the prudent attitude, the careful choice of words, the rigorous arrangement of sentences. Thus the translation of academic works is a professional skill, which requires the translator to have an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of related fields besides adequate ability. This essay takes the English translation of the excerpted part of Introduction to Corpus-based Translation Studies as an example; conducts case analysis on the level of word, sentence, passage and section; and intends to conclude the experience of this translation practice, providing references of the English translation of Chinese academic monographs.
