| The source text of this report is excerpted from the sixth chapter of Beyond Bitcoin—Economics of Digital Currencies and Blockchain Technologies.The book focuses on how the ever-changing technology plays a role in influencing today’s world economy.Combined with the underlying technology,the selected chapter elaborates on the decentralized applications,digital assets and economic activities related to Ethereum.It shows how technology supports the application.This original text belongs to the economic text,involving the field of financial science and technology.The key to its translation lies in whether the target readers can accurately understand the content of the source text and achieve unity with the original readers in terms of understanding effect.The functional equivalence theory proposed by Nida is no longer confined to formal equivalence,but emphasizes the functional equivalence between two languages and two cultures.It takes the response of the target readers as the criterion for judging the target text,which coincides with the translation requirements of economic texts.Therefore,guided by functional equivalence theory and combined with the language characteristics of economic texts,this report explores how to properly use translation methods and techniques to achieve equivalence between the source text and the target text through specific cases from the three levels of vocabulary,syntax and discourse.Through this translation practice,the author hopes to translate a version that accurately conveys the information of the source text to help domestic experts or scholars understand more technical knowledge.On this basis,the author also uses theory to guide this practice,which is conducive to better exploring scientific translation methods and techniques,providing valuable references for other translators in the economic field. |
