This book addresses the characteristics of scientific and technical English and proposes new theories of translation that focus on information-centered expression. It introduces a new translation method based on "events," a sentence analysis technique called "component simplification," and common idiomatic expressions often overlooked in scientific translation. It also pays full attention to the trend of colloquialization and simplification in English used in scientific and technical genres. The book dedicates a chapter to providing detailed explanations with correct and incorrect comparisons of common Chinese-English and English-Chinese sentences.
