Chapter two is about the source text of the project, containing a brief introduction to the author, as well as the content, text type and linguistic features of the ST. Chapter three gives the relationship between search engines and translation and their assistance of them in translation. Chapter four is the highlight of this whole project, providing the two searching methods of word translation and the benefit of related background information, with typical examples from the text.
