A Report On The Translation Of Intelligent Connectivity:AI,IoT And 5G(Chapter 7)

With the rapid economic and social development,the internet technologies are also developing and updating continuously.Combining the 5G,IoT and AI,intelligent connectivity has a profound impact on the way of working and living,as well as the economic development.The source text is the seventh chapter of the book Intelligent Connectivity:AI,IoT and 5G,which mainly talks about the applications of intelligent connectivity in transportation,medical care,education,transportation,and other fields,such as telemedicine and connected cars,etc.,helping readers better understand the applications and value of intelligent connectivity.Since the source text is the informative text about technologies,which emphasizes the objectivity and accuracy of the information,the translator chooses the Communicative Translation Theory of Peter Newmark to guide the translation and takes the combination of literal translation and free translation as the translation method,in a bid to produce an accurate,fluent,and understandable translation to target readers.The report consists of four parts.The first part gives a general description of the translation practice,including the source text,the introduction of the author and the book,and the significance of the translation activity.The second part introduces the pre-translation preparation,translation difficulties,and the post-translation proofreading.The third part is the detailed analysis of the translation difficulties in lexical,syntactic and discourse levels,including the translation of the technical terms in the internet technology field,the translation of passive sentences in scientific and technological texts,and the cohesion between sentences,etc.The last part is a summary of the translation practice,in which the translator concludes the gains and reflections.With the translation practice,the translator learned the prospect and applications of intelligent connectivity,and concluded the translation methods of scientific texts.Also,the translator’s ability of applying translation theory to practice had been improved.All in all,the practice had certain guiding significance for the translator’s future study and practice.
