Features: This book was written after the publication of A Guide to English Writing and Translation for Graduate Students (Basic Level), so topics discussed in the basic level are only briefly covered here. The writing section is divided into five main parts: first, an overall introduction; second, a discussion on English sentences; third, English paragraphs; fourth, English compositions; and fifth, the appropriate use of punctuation marks, which are often overlooked. The overall approach is to build sentences into paragraphs, and then enhance clarity, coherence, and fluency through the correct use of punctuation and other techniques. The division of writing sections is purely for the convenience of discussion. Teachers can rearrange these sections based on their teaching objectives, student needs, teaching plans, and philosophies to flexibly utilize the material systematically and organically, aiming for the best results.
The translation section integrates both English-to-Chinese and Chinese-to-English translation, providing separate examples and corresponding translations for comparison and study. This helps students grasp the fundamental theories and common techniques of translation more deeply. This part emphasizes the practicality of translation, with a dedicated chapter on translating different genres. The book's distinctive features include diverse and innovative material selection, authentic and natural language, a focus on developing writing and translation skills, and a strong emphasis on understanding and mastering writing and translation techniques. It reveals the characteristics and criteria of translation and English writing, enabling students to learn translation and English writing effectively by first understanding what constitutes good translation and English writing.
