Abstract

The demand for translations triggered by the international exchange of scientific and technical information has increased significantly. Practice-oriented translations involving more scientific and technical texts dominate the translation market. As a result, scientific and technical translation is becoming increasingly important in the contemporary workplace. In the face of the growing importance of scientific and technical translation, it is important to identify the expertise and terminology involved in translation and select appropriate translation strategies and techniques to facilitate the international dissemination of scientific and technical information.

The textbook avoids lengthy translation theories, explains the principles and skills of scientific and technical translation in detail through many cases, focuses on practicality, and is a concentrated presentation of the author’s translation experience. Overall, the textbook is a breakthrough. It emphasizes the professionalism required for modern translation practice. This breakthrough is a positive response to the needs of the market and the times, providing translation learners with practical tools to guide them in solving difficulties in scientific and technical translation in today’s multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary environment. 112-115 Book Review of A Textbook for Translating Texts of Science & Technology 下载 Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
