Trees In Trouble: Wildfires, Infestations And Climate Change (Chapter 6) English-Chinese Translation Practice Report

The original text of this translation practice report is the six chapter “Thin and Burn” from the scientific work Trees in Trouble: Wildfires,Infestations and Climate Change published by Counterpoint,which is written by Daniel Mathews,a famous American ecologist.It talks about the effects that fires,infestations and climate change have on the forests in west America and on the people who live beside forests.It also introduces many methods about how to lower the prevalence of forest fire to protect the forests.As there are many terms related to forest fires and sentences with dashes,this report conducts case studies on terms and sentences with dashes through translation methods such as equivalent-seeking translation and literal translation to make the translated text more accurate and readable.And the translator summarizes translation experiences in the last chapter with the purpose of providing references for the future translation work.
