A Tentative Analysis Of The Translation Competence Of A Financial Translator

This translation is selected from chapter 4 of Peter Pham’s financial works The Big Trade:Simple Strategies for Maximum Market Returns. This chapter mainly suggests focusing only on the few indications and simple strategies by rejecting the traditional technical analysis method. It is believed that the world is overloaded with excessive information and the traditional techniques only make it more complicated. The trader should pay consistent attention to "open, high, low, close, and volume data" from a public source to remove the noise.In translation commentary, some previous studies on translation competence have been summarized to guide the translation of financial texts. On the basis of translation practice and challenges of translating financial texts, this paper puts forward that a financial translator should be a professional expert, a master of translation operation competence, translation strategy competence and translation expertise.
