A Project Report On The Translation Of When You Call My Name (Chapter ? And Chapter ?)

Currently,communication between countries is increasingly growing.Translation,especially the translation of novels,plays an irreplaceable role.The translation of novels,on the one hand,helps readers know more about foreign culture,on the other hand,can enrich readers' inner world.This translation project report is based on the translation of When You Call My Name,which was written by American writer Sharon Sala and was published in 1995.The translator chooses this novel for translation practice because,firstly,it is a story that mixes romance with reality,and super-nature with conspiracy.Secondly,the writer,Sharon Sala,is very famous in America and has won many awards.However,few people in China know her.The most important part of this report is Chapter 3.This part mainly deals with the problems and difficulties met during the whole translation process and the translation theory,Jef Verschueren's linguistic adaptation theory,adopted during the process.Also by combining translation skills such as amplification,omission,shift of perspective and so on,with examples chosen from the translation work,this part analyzes the translation process in detail.After finishing the whole translation practice,the translator draws some conclusions about translation:first,before starting to do the translation work,the translator should make full preparations;second,during the translation process,the translator should attach importance to the guidance of translation theories;third,when the first draft is done,the translator should read it carefully and try to find more chances to communicate with other translators and learn from other translators.Translation is hard work,we have to work harder and harder.
