A Practice Report On The English-Chinese Translation Of The Science And Technology Of Growing Young(Excerpts)

Throughout history,the topic of longevity has been enduring,and human beings have been aspiring to and longing for it.With the development of modern medicine,the mystery of longevity is gradually being unveiled,and rejuvenation will no longer be a beautiful imagination in literature.As the global population continues to decline and fertility rates fall off a cliff,medical research on aging and death avoidance has emerged to alleviate social anxiety and provide a different perspective for the long-term development of human beings.Much translation research has also emerged,not only to explain the practical anti-aging techniques available today but also to provide a fascinating bird’s eye view of the field of population studies.Chapter 2,3,4 and 5 of The Science and Technology of Growing Young were selected as the source text for this translation practice.The book describes the breakthroughs in the field of longevity research brought about by gene editing,organ regeneration,bionic technology,and pharmaceutical measures.This translation practice report mainly includes the introduction,task overview,task process,case study,and summary,etc.Among them,the case study is the top priority chapter,in which the author starts from the level of vocabulary and sentences,relies on Adaptation Theory to analyze and solve the major problems in the translation process.The author strives to flexibly choose the most appropriate translation strategies and methods under the guidance of Adaptation Theory,so as to appropriately convey the information of the original text,and make the translation conform to the characteristics of popular science texts,which are scientific,popular,readable,and literary.Through this translation practice,the author hopes to gain more translation insights and form a broader and deeper understanding of scientific translation,in order to reveal the deep-rooted translation phenomenon from the selection of translation methods.The author expects to realize the effective conversion between different languages,make the translation achieve better translation effect,and provide some experience summaries for the translators in related fields.
