Features: The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the basic rules of English-Chinese translation, while the second part focuses on common techniques. By learning these fundamental rules, readers can not only reinforce their English knowledge but also break free from the influence of English structures, understand accurate Chinese expressions, avoid overly Europeanized sentence structures, and thus smoothly engage in translation work. The so-called common techniques involve comparing English and Chinese expressions, highlighting the differences, especially in structure, and summarizing the techniques used by the Chinese translation community to address these differences, ensuring that the translation is faithful, fluent, and natural. Through study, readers can master the commonly used rules in the Chinese translation field, carry out translation practice smoothly, and at the same time, by these techniques, expand their thinking and create more innovative and effective translation methods. This book is based on the teaching content involved in the author's teaching practice and is suitable for second and third-year English majors and senior students from non-English majors.
