| With the rapid development of science and technology, the circulation of scientific magazines and books has sharply increased as well as the international exchanges of science and technology become more frequent than ever before. English plays an important role in the exchanges of scientific fields. As a result, translating the scientific magazines and books written in English into the accurate and authentic Chinese will be definitely urgent, which will make great contributions to the scientific and technological exchanges between China and the rest of the world. Therefore, improving the scientific translation quality becomes particularly imperative for China.This report is based on the translation task-Anthology on Cutting-edge Science and Technology-Automatic Control into Chinese. Those materials cover the range of controlling systems, complexity systems, artificial intelligence, expert system and intelligent tutoring system. The author attaches great importance to analyzing the characteristics of vocabulary and syntactic in scientific texts before translating, besides efforts was made to generalize these patterns, thus will lay a solid foundation for better understanding of the materials. In reference to a great deal of scientific literature and books concerning translation theories and approaches, the author realize that scientific criteria definitely has influences on the translation process and even decided the choice of application of translation theories. This report pays attention to study Skopos Theory proposed by Vermeer, and then try to combine those difficult sentences selected from the materials with the Skopos Theory so as to summarize some technical translation skills that effective to handle the scientific translation.In a word, the author makes an attempt to discuss some appropriate translation theories and approaches to deal with the difficulties resulting from scientific translation. Hoping that some references for future scientific English Translation can be produced by the author’s effort. |
