With the development of agricultural science and technology in China,the publication of achievements among the international agriculture academia needs the support of translation and translation-related studies,especially C-E translation studies.Previous researches are abundant in the medical article translation but are rare in the translation of agricultural scientific materials,especially in the C-E translation,which is more related to the publication capacity of agriculture science in the world.However,there are limited researches on the translation of agricultural science and technology literature.Taking the nominalization phenomenon in translation of agricultural science and technology literature as an example,scholars mainly focus on the academia of medical translation while ignoring the study of agricultural science and technology translation.Taking my translation practice as the main material,based on the functional equivalence theory,this paper explores the application of nominalization in the C-E translation of agricultural science and technology text in view of the characteristics of agricultural science and technology English.The results show that applying nominalization methods in the C-E translation properly can make the English version of agriculture science and technology text more similar to the English academic language of science and technology literature,so that the readability and accuracy can be improved and communicative purpose is achieved.What's more,this paper also proves that discussing the translation from the perspective of functional equivalence theory can help to improve the translation quality of agricultural science and technology text and provides significant reference to the construction of the translation theory of agricultural science and technology text and practice of translators working in the future.
