A Report On C-E Translation Of Machine Learning-The New AI (Excerpts)

The development of computer networks has enabled people to achieve unprecedented levels of information collection and dissemination,and has achieved global information sharing and interaction.In the information era,it's crucial to transfer disordered data into useful information through machine learning.The translated text selected for this translation practice is an authoritative book on machine learning,named as Machine Learning-The New AI.The author chose the first and third chapters as the source text for this translation practice,which discussed briefly the evolution of computer science and its applications,how the digital technology advanced from number-crunching mainframes to desktop personal computers and later on to smart devices that are online and mobile,and the third chapter focuses on how learning algorithms are used for pattern recognition,with emphasis on face recognition and speech recognition.The original text has typical characteristics of scientific text,such as plenty of technical and semi-technical words and complex long sentences.The overall language style of the text is objective and professional,so it is the ideal material for the research of translation of scientific text.According to loyalty rule of Skopos Theory,the author tried to standardize the translation of technical terms in the original text;According to the purpose of translation strategy selection,different translation strategies were adopted for the translation of long sentences in the text,such as inversion,omission and division,so that the translation text is concise,logical and rigorous,in line with Chinese expression habits;According to the coherence of language expression,the author explored the language expression problems that often appear in translation text,such as the problems of stiff translation,errors of expressions collocation and semantic ambiguity,and adopted corresponding translation methods,such as translation conversion and amplification to achieve a smooth and concise translation.Through the English-Chinese translation of Machine Learning-The New AI,the author exercises and enhances the translation ability,uses the translation methods and strategies that has learned into practice,and understands the information of science and technology English and machine learning.
