A Report On The E-C Translation Of Artificial Intelligence For Children Guided By Reiss’s Text Typology Theory

With Open AI’s introduction of GPT-3 to the market,and the advent of Chat-GPT,artificial intelligence has once again rushed into the forefront of the news and other media.This report uses Reiss’ s text typology theory as a theoretical research framework to investigate technology texts.The translated material,selected from the World Economic Forum,focuses on artificial intelligence products designed specifically for children.Based on the analysis of the material’s text type,text subject matter,and line style,it is determined that the material is an informative text.According to Reiss’ s criteria for informative texts,the accuracy,objectivity,linguistic brevity and readability of the translation are the primary goals.The report follows the principle of faithfulness to the content of the source text and satisfy target readers’ language habits and information reception habits.And the translator applies appropriate translation methods to the translation practice,so as to reduce the readers’ reading barriers and realize the information function of the informative text.The material is a scientific text,and there are many proper nouns or abbreviations in the field of artificial intelligence,so the translator adopts the annotation.When dealing with complex sentences,the translator chooses to adopt the omission and division to ensure the conciseness of the translation.In addition,the translator uses the amplification to deal with the presence of invisible elements in the sentence,so that the target language readers can receive the information of the original text clearly and unambiguously.This translation practice apply Reiss’ s text typology theory to the translation of an artificial intelligence text,which provides guideline for translating this kind of texts.It also broadens the scope of application of text type theory and provides some reference for the translation practice in the field of artificial intelligence.
