Features: Based on the author's comprehensive understanding and absorption of the fundamental theories of translation in modern China, this book conducts specific research on the practice of English-Chinese translation. Through the author's own exploration and practical experience in translation, ten regular methods of English-Chinese translation are summarized. The theoretical basis is that English and Chinese belong to different language families, and their writing structures and word expressions differ significantly. When translating, it is essential to fully consider the differences in sentence (paragraph) frameworks and semantic expressions between the two languages. Only in this way can the translation truly achieve faithfulness, naturalness, and fluency. Each operational method is accompanied by abundant examples. These examples (referring to English sentences and passages) are original materials selected by the author from modern English books and periodicals in recent years, which are fresh and possess a certain readability. The book also provides readers with a series of passages and exercises for English-Chinese translation practice. This book is a specialized work that combines the theory and practice of English-Chinese translation, offering practical reference value for English-Chinese translation learners and practitioners. It can also be used as a textbook for practical English-Chinese translation courses in universities.
