A Report On The E-C Translation Of Big Data Analytics Methods(Introduction And Chapter 1)

With the development of economy and scientific research,big data analytics has become increasingly close to people’s lives,and has gradually penetrated into various fields.At the same time,big data analytics has played a vital role in the prediction and tracing of the COVID-19 epidemic,greatly improving the efficiency of epidemic prevention and control.As an authoritative book in the field of big data,Big Data Analytics Methods introduces big data analytics in detail.It abounds with complex sentences,compact structures and clear logic,and the translation of this book will help introduce cutting-edge technologies into China from abroad and promote the progress and development of big data analytics.The translator selects the introduction and the chapter one of the book as the source text,and finishes the translation practice report based on it.As a typical scientific and technological text,the source text is characterized by technical words and semi-technical words;passive sentences,complex sentences;references and conjunctions,which bring various obstacles to the translator.Under the guidance of Skopos theory,at the lexical level,the translator adopts transliteration,zero translation plus literal translation to deal with technical terms,and free translation to translate semi-technical words;at the syntactic level,the translator employs conversion of voice,application of Chinese passive sentences and Chinese non-subject sentences to deal with the translation of passive sentences,and adopts division and sequential translation to deal with complex sentences;at the discourse level,the translator applies explicitation,omission and conversion to deal with reference,and she adopts preservation to in terms of the translation of conjunctions..This translation practice further confirms that Skopos theory can guide the practice of scientific and technological translation,solve translation problems and improve translation quality.It is hoped that this translation report can provide some references for domestic big data analytics-related translation practice.
