Analysis And Reconstruction Of Logic Relations In Popular Science Translation

In the age of science and information,more and more readers are keen on reading popular science books and learning scientific knowledge,thus promoting popular science translation to be more and more significant in translation field.Since ancient times,languages have been thought as being logical and rational,which is especially obvious in popular science translation.The expression of the logic relations,which can be seen as the core of the popular science translation,serves as the media to block out the structure of the information in the text,and conveys the information of the text to the readers in an explicit way.Therefore,it is a necessity for translators to attach much importance to the expression of the logic relations in popular science translation.Given the sharp contrasts between English and Chinese,there are significant differences on the logic relations of the two languages.In popular science translation,logic relations can be seen as an important part in semantic expression and interpretation,and one of the most difficult points for translators.To that end,the success of the popular science translation lies in the comprehension of the contrasts between English and Chinese,especially that in the semantic logic relations,deep analysis of these contrasts and the proper ways of reconstructing the logic relations from the original language to the target language.From this perspective,this report will probe into some specific ways to analyze and reconstruct the logic relations with the aid of the book Einstein's Dice and Schrodinger's Cat.After deep analysis of the contrasts between English and Chinese,the report will give specific explanation of the reconstruction strategies from both macroscopic and microscopic perspectives with corresponding sentences from the book as examples,so as to make a summary and provide some personal thoughts for the study of the logic relations in popular science translation.
