This survey investigated different methods for translating Chinese brand names into English.Results of Pre-investigation show that five methods are most frequently used in translating Chinese Brand Names into English:English,Pinyin,Coinage,Acronym,and English+Pinyin.Two further experiments were conducted.The results of Experiment 1 indicated that participants evaluated translations produced using English as their most favored and English as the most appropriate method to translate Chinese brand names,showing low interest in translations by Pinyin and Coinage.The results of Experiment 2 further supported the English method as the most favored one in comparison to the Acronym and English+Pinyin,methods,and likewise in the methods used to translate different categories of brands.A“Mother-Tongue”Effect is observed in translation.This study concludes that English is the most effective method for translating Chinese brand names. 展开更多

With the incessant propulsion of the Open Door Policy,which is related to the consolidation of international collaborative partnerships,an increasing number of Chinese companies are moving toward cooperating countries to participate in infrastructure construction,employing a win-win strategy in favor of the people and governments of both countries.Among the cooperation domains,our country’s electrical companies have achieved a series of remarkable results in the international Engineering,Procurement,and Construction(EPC)project market with their outstanding business capabilities and technical advantages.Nevertheless,some shortcomings cannot be overlooked,the most notable of which appears to be the impediment associated with engineering translation,which has always been an obsession among translators of Chinese companies.Taking the transmission line project in the Republic of Madagascar as an example,an analysis of French-Chinese translation methods of electrical engineering terminology in the field of the transmission line is carried out. 展开更多

Comments were made on the "word-for-word" literal translation method used by Mr. Nigel Wiseman in A Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine. He believes that only literal translation can reflect Chinese medical concepts accurately. The so-called "word-for-word" translation is actually "English-word-for- Chinese-character" translation. First, the authors of the dictionary made a list of Single Characters with English Equivalents, and then they gave each character of the medical term an English equivalent according to the list. Finally, they made some minor modifications to make the rendering grammatically smoother. Many English terms thus produced are confusing. The defect of the word-for-word literal translation stems from the erroneous idea that a single character constitutes the basic element of meaning corresponding to the notion of "word" in English, and the meaning of a disyllabic or polysyllabic Chinese word is the simple addition of the constituent characters. Another big mistake is the negligence of the polysemy of Chinese characters. One or two English equivalents can by no means cover all the various meanings of a single character which is a polysemous monosyllabic word. Various examples were cited from this dictionary to illustrate the mistakes. 展开更多

With Adaptation Theory as its theoretical basis, this research makes comparison between Lisa See's original version of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Xin Yuanjie's Chinese translation based on a self-compiled manual annotation English-Chinese bilingual corpus. It aims at exploring the choice of language and the choice of translation method in the foreign language creation and rootless back-translation of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, discussing whether these choices adapt to the source language or the target language, and finding out the communicative effects they have achieved. The preliminary results show that: the choice of language and the choice of translation method in Foreign Language Creation mainly adapt to the target language to make easier for the target English readers to understand and partly adapt to the source language to keep local flavor; the choice of language and the choice of translation method in rootless back translation mainly adapt to the target language to make the translation authentic, accurate and smooth, and adaption to source language will lead to translationese. This research sheds new light on this special kind of writing and translation. 展开更多

Hong Lou Meng is one of the most important works in Chinese classical novels,and the author,Cao Xueqin,gave his own understanding of the feudal society and his exclamation of the fickleness of the world in the novel.Up to now,the novel and the poems in the novel are still of high artistic value.Qiu Chuang Feng Yu Xi,as one of the most artistic and representative poems in the novel,has been translated into English by many translators.Among the translations,Yang Xianyi’s translation and David Hawkes’translation have the highest artistic achievements.Yang Xianyi is a famous Chinese translator and David Hawkes is a world-renowned sinologist in Britain.Because of their distinct identities,their translation purposes and translation styles are totally different.Guided by German translator Hans Vermeer’s Skopos Theory,this paper investigates the prologues of the translations of Hong Lou Meng and the translators’biographies.The findings indicate the respective translation purposes of Yang Xianyi and David Hawkes and their trade-off choices of translation methods.By means of objectively evaluation of the merits and demerits of the two translation versions of Qiu Chuang Feng Yu Xi,the rationality of existence of the translations in a specific cultural background is explained.It is proved that Skopos Theory is one of the general methods for the English translation of poems in Chinese classical novels. 展开更多
