Scientific and technical text has always been a hotspot in translation study.With the development of emerging technologies and globalization,its ever-growing importance is increasingly distinct.Many domestic companies need to learn advanced production techniques and research results from western countries through English texts in science and technology.As thus,how to translate these texts into Chinese accurately,authentically and efficiently comes to be the burning question needed to be solved immediately.This report takes the Roughness Sensitivity Comparisons of Wind Turbine Blade Sections,a paper in field of wind energy machinery,as an example to explore the guiding significance of parallel texts on science and technology translation.On the one hand,parallel texts provide timely support to translators in professional scientific and technical knowledge so as to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of translation.On the other hand,parallel texts help translators understand the conventional expressions in technical industry and removes the stumbling blocks in translation,ensuring the simplicity and standardization of translation.This paper explores the guiding role of parallel texts in scientific and technical translation from two aspects: translation of terminology and conventional expression.Parallel texts such as dictionaries,corpus,authoritative journals and books will be used in translation.Firstly,terminology is one of the most critical elements of a scientific and technical text.In this paper,terminology is divided into two categories: technical terms and semi-technical terms.How to make up translator's disadvantages in lacking professional knowledge on the basis of parallel texts is majorly discussed.Secondly,there are some conventional expressions in scientific and technical texts.Translators cannot translate original texts correctly because he or she does not understand the true meaning of some words or phrases as well as lacks input of conventional expression.Parallel texts then reveals the inner connections between related knowledge,shows conventional expressions examples and helps translators know the meaning and get it expressed authentically in Chinese.Parallel text plays an indispensable role in science and technology translation.Parallel texts can make up for the translators' shortcomings in science and technology,helping translators understand the original text and translate efficiently,accurately and authentically,improving the quality of translation.
