Features: This textbook is specifically designed for senior English majors in universities as pre-class preparation, in-class instruction and practice, and post-class exercises. On one hand, it strives to be rich in content, professional yet easy to understand, enabling students to grasp the necessary translation theories and methods through self-study, thus saving time for in-class instruction. On the other hand, to enhance students' translation skills, the book includes dedicated in-class exercises and extra-curricular extension materials after each chapter, providing more opportunities for practice. The content is engaging, with diverse genres and themes, well-balanced in difficulty and volume, closely related to each chapter's material. Additionally, the book provides reference translations to inspire varied approaches, encourage diverse translations, and promote the principle of comparing and selecting the best, serving as a reference for readers' translation practice.
Furthermore, considering the needs of current students and graduates aspiring to work in translation, the book is designed and written in alignment with the examination syllabus set by the "National Translation Professional Qualification Examination" commission. It includes discourse translation content, which is rarely found in other translation textbooks, to strengthen the study of discourse translation. At the same time, the book ensures that the theories and practical methods discussed are universally applicable, suitable for both English-to-Chinese and Chinese-to-English translation. This helps students quickly familiarize themselves with translation approaches, enabling them to complete undergraduate translation courses and the designated textbook for the "National Translation Professional Qualification Examination" more efficiently and effectively.
