A Report On The E-C Translation Of The Economics Of Soybean Disease Control Chapters Three-Four)

The imbalance between the supply and demand of soybean and soybean products,as well as the significant reliance on imports of soybeans,are two pressing issues facing China’s domestic agriculture market.It is essential to increase production and self-sufficiency,given the growing uncertainties and destabilizing factors.The Economics of Soybean Disease Control outlines the control of soybean disease from an economics standpoint and examines the conditioning factors of disease control strategies from the farm,market and other perspectives.The book aims to provide soybean producers with methods to control soybean diseases.The information in the book can be helpful in our domestic research into expanding soybean planting and improving the quality and quantity of oil-bearing crops.Therefore,the translator chooses this book(Chapter Three and Chapter Four)as the source text of the translation practice.This translation report consists of four parts: task description,translation process,case analysis,and summary.Among these,case analysis is the core of the report.From the lexical,syntactic,and discourse levels,the report analyzes the translator’s difficulties in translating,including technical terms,polysemy,nominalization,passive voice,long sentences,and discourse cohesion.To overcome these obstacles,the translator primarily employs communicative and semantic translation as well as a variety of translation techniques,including zero translation,addition,conversion of word class,rearrangement of sentence order,division,substitution,and repetition.The translator manages to convey information more clearly and to make the target text more readable for the target readers.Hopefully,the report will be beneficial for the study of agricultural and scientific text translation as well as the research on soybean.
