A Report On The Translation Of China In Transition:Trend Of China's Development(Chapter One Of The Fourth Part )

After 30 years' reform and opening-up,China started its second transition.China's comprehensive national strength and international status have been enhanced significantly,and concern of the international community for China has been growing day by day.As a path for publicizing China to the outside world,the importance of translation of political works has been increasingly highlighted.This thesis consists of the author's translation practice and a report on it.The author chooses China in Transition: Trend of China's Development(Chapter One of the Fourth Part)written by Mr.Chi Fulin and Mr.Fu Zhiping as the translation material.The original text is 15077 words in total.The content of this book is mainly about China's administrative restructuring based on government transition.On the basis of Christiane Nord's text analysis theory,the author fully analyzes the intratextual and extratextual factors of the original text and gives priority to instrumental translation strategy in the translation process,supplementing with documentary translation strategy.This means that the author mainly adopted free translation,complementing with other translation methods such as literal translation,transliteration,literal translation combined with free translation,flexible use of adding or omitting words etc.,to make the translation as accurate and idiomatic as possible.Through this translation practice and the writing of the report,the author has discussed translation methods for political text,and has gained a better understanding of translation of political text.Just as the old saying goes,“Rome was not built in a day”,a good translation needs daily practice.A good translator is one who should be equipped with Chinese and English competence,encyclopedia knowledge,practical theoretical guidance and preciseness.
