Report On Translation Of Metaheuristics For Big Data (Chapters 5 And 8)

The translation material selected in this report is Metaheuristics for Big Data,which contains much background information on database.Through applying the metaheuristics to big data mining,this book emphasizes how to use data mining knowledge to solve the practical issues in our lives,such as data generation and collection.The book is an English for Science and Technology(EST)text with strict structure,objective description,boasting a great deal of passive sentences and nominalization structures.Based on the translation of chapter five and chapter eight,this report explores the translation strategies of nominalization structure in EST under the guidance of Nida's functional equivalence theory.This report includes four major parts in total.The first part briefly introduces the report,including the background and source of the project,text features as well as the client's requirements.The second part describes the whole translation process,including the preparation of the whole project,translation process and the proof-reading work.The third part is the core of the report,covering the introduction of nominalization in EST,the functional equivalence theory and the translation case analyses.The last part concludes the translation methods of nominalization in EST,inspiration acquired from the translation process,and the self-reflection of the whole translation project.
