Features: This book covers various aspects such as corporate publicity, news reporting, food culture, public signs, travel introductions, picture albums, and interpersonal communication, essentially encompassing half of the "kingdom" of applied translation. Guided by Functional Purpose Theory, this book emphasizes comparison and practice rather than excessive theoretical discourse. It integrates translation theory and practice, combines translation strategies and techniques, and presents case studies alongside practical examples. Most of the cases and examples are drawn from the author's own translation practice, with analyses and explanations that discuss both translation philosophy and experience. This is the culmination of the author's years of research in translation theory, translation teaching, news translation, and extensive translation of other practical texts. Each chapter includes exercises, making it suitable for readers with a certain level of English proficiency to study and research in depth.
