Translation Of Academic Text From The Perspective Of Eco-translatology

Three academic articles about Ecolinguistics selected from academic electronic journals Elsevier(ScienceDirect) database are chosen as the material for my academic translation practice.For the problems in the translation process oriented to Chinese, like unclear indication between concrete and abstract words, polysemy, nominalization, sentence structural differences, passive sentence, pronoun vagueness, metaphor and cultural differences, this paper at first categorizes them as the core contradictions respectively on the linguistic dimension, communicative dimension and cultural dimension according to the three-dimensional transformation method of Eco-Translatology,and then checks the result from other two dimensions. In order to adapt to the translational eco-environment of different dimensions, some specific strategies are applied to solve these problems, like transformation between concrete and abstract words, semantic transformation of polysemy, transformation of part of speech in terms of vocabulary ecology and transformation of voice, transformation of sentence structure in terms of sentence ecology in the linguistic dimension; logic transformation, metaphor transformation, transformation of discourse cohesion in the communicative dimension; cultural content transformation and special expression in Chinese culture in the cultural dimension. Through this academic translation practice, this paper has come to the conclusion that the three-dimensional method of Eco-Translatology applies the same to academic text, meanwhile, it is not only a method to guide the translator how to translate, but a method of self checking of translator from the perspective of eco-balance. This translation practice is an attempt to explore the explanatory power of Eco-Translatology and its application research.
