机译中汉语科技文本的模糊特质与译前编辑

Pre-editing Mechanisms for Vagueness of Chinese Sci-tech Text in Machine Translation

汉语的模糊特质表现为语义外延丰富、逻辑内涵隐晦,这一特征给机器翻译带来理解障碍。科技文本中的"机器非友好型"因素——模糊语义,常见于汉语的隐喻、多义词、隐性逻辑、重复结构及模糊主题词等方面。本文分析了汉语科技文本的模糊特质,立足机器翻译实践,探讨汉语科技文本模糊特质的译前编辑策略。

Vagueness of Chinese language,featuring extensive semantic connotations,complex logic implication,builds barriers for machine translation.The"machine-unfriendly"factors in sci-tech texts,known as semantic vagueness,generally include metaphor,polysemous words,implicit logic,repetitive structure and vague subjects in Chinese.This paper,based on the empirical practice of machine translation,intends to explore the pre-editing mechanisms of vagueness for Chinese sci-tech text.
