Under the guidance of functional equivalence theory,taking Smith and Roberson's Business Law as the translation practice object,this paper explores the application of functional equivalence theory to syntactic structures adaptation in the Chinese translation.The selected translation practice text is an American original legal teaching material,which is of a high degree of rigor,normative and solemnity.English legal texts have the characteristics of using accurate and normative words and rigorous text structure.Its sentence structure is complex,which has large differences between Chinese.And English legal texts frequently use archaic words,technical term,legal jargon and redundant words to express single legal concept.Aiming at the three problems generalized from the translation practice of the inconsistent of sentence structure,the differences in language logic and the differences in the form of expression,this paper choose three methods of the adaptation of syntactic structure,language logic and form of expression as solutions.This paper use respectively the adaptation of static and dynamic,division and the center of gravity;the adaptation of logic explicating,logic rationalizing and logic integrating;the adaptation of literal translation,inverse translation and combination these nine solutions to improve translation and then verify the effectiveness of the specific translation methods.Practice report and case studies show that functional equivalence theory has certain guiding significance and practice value to the adaptation of syntactic structure in Chinese translation of English legal teaching material.
