A Practice Report On The C-E Translation Of Nuclear Power Engineering Text From The Perspective Of Eco-translatology

Along with the introduction,application and evolvement of AP1000 in China,the security and efficiency for nuclear power station construction are improved drastically.China has entered the new phase in nuclear power construction.The C-E translation project that entitled Standardization Management Manual for HPR1000 plays an important role in promoting the “going out” of Chinese nuclear power technology.The nuclear power text is characterized by precise wording,concise expression,logicality and speciality that distinguish itself from general translation and pose many challenges for the translator.Major translation problems distribute in three aspects:(1)terminology translation,which is manifested in mistranslation and inconsistency;(2)the shift of sentence pattern,which is manifested in the shift between active voice and passive voice,and inflexible shift of long complex sentence;(3)information conversion,which is manifested in the deficiency or loss of communicative effect by information loss.Under the guidance of eco-translatology,the translational eco-environment of the translation practice is elaborated,including major problems and causes of it.Combined with the analysis of translation difficulties and translational eco-environment,it is proposed in this report that literal translation and adjustment,application of CAT tools and free translation,as well as literal and borrowing translation and reconstruction shall be applied in translator?s adaptive selection to achieve the best result.Finally,it is anticipated that this research can show enlightment to the nuclear power translation study and practice.
