| Recently,bullying incidents exposed to the public has been on an upward trend with increasing severity.Bullying is gathering people's attention and becoming a buzz word.However,in China people's awareness of bullying still needs to be improved,and its harmfulness has been greatly underestimated.The academic research on bullying in the United States of America and other western countries started earlier than that of China,and has obtained some experience.Therefore,it is necessary to learn from the western countries about their advanced achievements.In this essay,I extracted the fifth chapter of Bullying as a Social Experience:Social factors,Prevention and Intervention as my translation text.The book focuses on campus bullying,which concentrates the achievements of the United States in bullying research.In order to accurately and clearly convey the conceptions of the original text,I chose Peter Newmark's communicative translation theory as my guiding theory.When translating culture loaded words,I put the background information within parentheses.As for people's names,different methods were adopted.When a name appears in the title of a program,it would be transliterated.When it appears in a reference,I choose zero-translation.As for inserted elements,some are incorporated into a sentence,and some are annotated in parentheses..Besides,there are some special expressions in the original text.According to the guiding ideology of communicative translation theory,I replaced them with expressions that appeal to Chinese culture.The original text conducted a profound and plain analysis about bullying and put forward many practical suggestions and solutions about bullying.Therefore,translating this text can raise people's awareness about bullying,and provide reference in handling school bullying in our country. |
