译者主体性视角下医学学术文本“机器翻译+译后编辑”中的策略研究

Strategy research in the“machine translation+post-editing”of medical academic texts from the perspective of translator’s subjectivity

为探讨医学翻译中译者在“机器翻译+译后编辑”模式下如何发挥主体性,本文选取兼具语言难度和背景知识的医学学术文本,采取机器译文和人工译文进行比较的研究方法,发现了机器翻译的若干优势和译后编辑的必要性,并提出了“机器翻译+译后编辑”模式下的具体策略:译者应主动借助机器翻译;回归翻译技巧等核心技能,以改正机器译文中的错误;还可借助计算机辅助翻译或语料库资源完善术语或其他词句的表达。

In order to explore how the translator exerts his subjectivity under the“machine translation+post-editing”mode in medical translation,this paper selected medical academic texts containing both difficult language and background knowledge,and adopted the research method of comparing machine-translated texts and human-translated texts.We found several advantages of machine translation and the necessity of post-editing,and put forward specific strategies under the“machine translation+post-editing”mode:translators should resort to machine translation proactively;they should return to translation skills and other core skills to correct the mistakes in the texts translated by the machine;and they can use computer-aided translation or corpus resources to improve the expression of terms or other words and sentences.
