| As an integral part of the financial market,the bond market helps economic entities to accomplish their long-term development by means of investment.Therefore,translations on Myanmar’s bond market could help Chinese foreign trading companies to equip their employees with financial expertise and explore the international market.Functional Equivalence Theory,which is proposed and developed by Nida,prioritizes meaning over form and focuses upon target readers.With the guidance of this theory,the author of the report was entrusted by China Minghua Group Co.,Ltd.to fulfill the English-Chinese translation of Chapters II,III,IX and X of ASEAN+3 Bond Market Guide: Myanmar.Falling into six chapters,this report is intended to make a summary of and reflection on this task.Specifically,Chapter One introduces the task,mainly its background and its significance and the organization of the report.Chapter Two describes the source text,focusing upon its structure,main ideas and linguistic features.Chapter Three presents the process in fulfilling the translation task,including preparations made before the task,challenges encountered during the task and revisions conducted after the task.Functioning as the theoretical underpinning of the report,Chapter Four makes a presentation of Functional Equivalence Theory and elaborates upon its feasibility to the task.Chapter Five primarily illustrates the translation techniques employed during the fulfillment of the task.Lexically,techniques cover addition,omission and word-class shift.Syntactically,techniques include division,combination,word-order shift and voice shift.Textually,techniques contain restructuring and condensation.Towards the end,Chapter Six takes stock of these translation techniques and the author’s reflections upon pains and gains from the task. |
