In the part of the case analysis, it mainly discusses and analyzes the text through lexical, syntactical and textual levels.The translation report contains four parts:the first part is the introduction to the translation project, including the source, the background and the meaning of the project; the second part mainly touches upon the project practice process, including the analysis of the project, preparation before translating, translation process and choice of translation tactics; the third part is the case analysis, and it discusses cases in terms of lexical, syntactical and textual levels; the fourth part is the conclusion of this translation practice project.
