Features: This book addresses the characteristics of scientific and technical English and proposes new translation theories that focus on the information-centered expression issue. 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 with correct and incorrect comparisons of common Chinese-English translations.
