A Practice Report On The English-chinese Translation Of News Reports On 5th Generation Wireless Systems By The New York Times

The 5th generation wireless systems(abbreviated as 5G)will not only bring more convenient and high-quality information service to the users,but also create new business operation models and job opportunities.These are closely related to a nation's development and people's daily life and therefore receive special attention from governments and people in different countries in the world.This translation practice selects 12 articles about 5G from the American newspaper the New York Time as the source texts.Hopefully,the Chinese translation of these reports on 5G can help the Chinese readers to learn the public opinions on 5G in the USA and improve their awareness of 5G development.The source texts are filled with professional terms,logically closely-connected sentences and diverse sentence structures to achieve professionalism and conciseness,and sometimes these features create some difficulties in translation.To solve the problems of intratextual coherence caused by improper semantic selection and different preferences in parts of speech between English and Chinese at lexical level,the paper puts forward the solution of reasonable extending word meanings and transformation of parts of speech according to the context.In order to tackle the problems of intratextual coherence caused by logical analysis errors in complex sentences and stiff change of voices at the sentence level,the paper puts forward the composite methods in translation of complex sentences and structural transformation of passive structures.It is hoped that this translation practice can provide some reference for the translation of similar texts.
