Selected Translation Of Economic Development And Environmental Sustainability And The Critical Commentary

Economic Development and Environmental Sustainability:New Options, co-edited by Professor Ramon Lopez and Michael A. Toman, is a collection of papers, discussing environmental, resource and energy issues in developing countries. As the largest developing country in the world, China attaches particular importance to economic policy adjustments according to its own as well as the international situation. As is the same with other developing countries, China faces a variety of issues in the process of economic development. In China, there are many studies on sustainable development and structural adjustment. However, these studies are more focused on vertical comparison instead of Sino-foreign comparison. The fifth chapter of the book not only introduces education, health care, and investment in human resources of different stages in several developing counties, but also collects a lot of data to make comparison among these developing countries, which provides significant value for China considering structural adjustment and sustainable development. The translator took chapter VI: Structural Adjustment and Sustainable Development as the translation project. In a collection of papers on economics, economic terminology is a feature and the major difficulty for the translation. To convey the original meaning accurately to the readers is the main purpose of this practice. The translation report summarizes the difficulties in the process of translation, guided by Skopos theory and combined with specific examples of translation, the translator applied different translation methods in order to achieve faithfulness.
