Features: This book addresses the characteristics of scientific and technical English by proposing the issue of information-centered expression, a new theory of contemporary translation. It introduces a novel translation method based on "events," a sentence analysis technique called "component simplification," and common idiomatic expressions often overlooked in scientific translation. The book also pays full attention to the trend of colloquialization and simplification in English within scientific genres. Dedicated chapters provide detailed explanations and comparisons of correct and incorrect translations in common Chinese-English and English-Chinese sentences.
