In content, these two chapters introduce some different wood defects and their causes as well as the protective treatments for wood, so they are of popular science in nature which to a certain extent reduces the difficulty in understanding the material. In style, these two chapters belong to that of science and technology, which has great practical value.The report consists of several parts: task description, process description, case analysis and conclusion. After making a detailed analysis of the translation process, the translator explores the linguistic features and the corresponding translation techniques and methods of English texts on wood and construction from the lexical, syntactic and discourse perspectives. Hopefully, this report will be useful for those who are interested in this field.
