Report On The E-C Translation Of EST Under The Guidance Of Functional Equivalence Theory

With the help of ever-changing modern science and technology and the rapid advancement of the global integration,international academic achievements are becoming more and more abundant and the exchange of these achievements is on the increase.The Belt and Road Initiative has started the strategy of "going global" and "bringing in".English for Science and Technology(EST)plays an important role in science and technology exchanges between countries and EST translation has gradually dominated the translation market.This is a report on the E-C translation of a scientific and technical academic paper entitled Materials and menmbrane technologies for water and energy sustainability.In this report,based on the analysis of features of the scientific and technological text and under the guidance of Nida's functional equivalence theory,the problems and possible solutions in translation practice are analyzed and explored by using the contrastive method.This process triggers reflections on the translation practice,based on which the author proposes approaches to developing the translators' translation skills,which,as it is hoped,are to offer reference to those who are engaged in EST translation.This report first describes the translation task,and then analyzes language features of the source text and introduces the translation process in the second chapter.The third chapter focuses on the introduction of Nida's functional equivalence theory.The fourth chapter carries out the case study of EST translation with respect to the lexis,syntax,text and isomorphism and presents corresponding translation strategies.In the last chapter,conclusions of translation practice are drawn and reflections and several suggestions for further studies are put forward.
