Features: This book is a revision based on the 1998 edition of "English-Chinese Discourse Translation." In the second edition, three new units have been added; the explanations have been reviewed, with 60% of the content either enriched or reduced. This book breaks the traditional translation teaching model that focuses on grammar and single-sentence translation training, guiding learners to grasp translation skills from the perspective of discourse. It emphasizes the translator's actual thinking process, decision-making, the characteristics of different text types, and cultivates multi-angle critical thinking skills in discourse translation, making the training of translation skills more aligned with the translator's practical operation process. The book is rich in examples and sentences, with concise and enlightening explanations. By studying this book, readers can master the basic skills of English-to-Chinese translation and eventually independently translate English texts of various genres. Target Audience: College English students at CET-4/CET-6 level or junior-level professional English students, as well as learners with equivalent proficiency.
