A Practice Report On The E-C Translation Of Mathematics And War(Excerpts)

With the development of science and technology,much attention has been attached to basic science.Mathematics,the most widely and directly used basic science,has contributed a lot to the understanding of natural laws and the development of scientific and technological achievements.Mathematics and War mainly focuses on the interaction between mathematics,mathematicians,military technologies and war strategies in the 20 th century,fully reflects the internal relations between mathematics researches and war needs.It shows strong professionalism and popularization of science.Based on Nida’s functional equivalence and careful analysis on the first chapter of Mathematics and War,this translation practice report analyses the translation methods of typical cases in detail and discusses how to reproduce the information and linguistic style of the source text to the greatest extent.This translation practice report first introduces the subject,purpose and significance of this translation practice,and describes the process of translation.Secondly,this report briefs Nida’s Theory of Functional Equivalence and discusses its guidance to the translation practice.What’s more,this translation practice report analyzes the translation methods from three aspects: lexical,syntactic and textual.Finally,by summarizing the translation strategies and techniques of source text,this translation practice report aims to provide realistic references for the translation practice of similar text.
