Features: This textbook is designed to meet the requirements of the "Teaching Syllabus for Senior English Majors in Higher Education Institutions" and the "Test Syllabus for Senior English Majors (Band 8)" issued by the Ministry of Education of China. It is intended for senior students majoring in Business English and other related fields in higher education institutions as a coursebook for English-Chinese translation () and a new teaching material. It is also suitable for senior English majors in general universities and self-taught translators. The book follows the principle of combining theory with practice, starting with translation methods, and helps students master certain translation theories and basic translation skills through a large number of translation examples, commentary on translated texts, and exercises. The arrangement of this book differs from traditional college English-Chinese translation textbooks. The book is divided into sixteen chapters. The first two chapters focus on the basic knowledge of translation theory, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the nature, standards, process, and methods of translation. From Chapter 3 to Chapter 12, each chapter introduces a commonly used translation technique, supported by translation examples, commentary on translated texts, and various exercises, enabling students to grasp and flexibly apply these techniques. The last four chapters cover text translation, compilation, the introduction of foreign words, and the characteristics of business translation, including issues to be noted when translating business documents of different types and styles. Each chapter in the book consists of three main parts: teaching points, commentary on translated texts, and exercises, which complement each other and progress in a logical sequence, forming a relatively complete system.
