English-Chinese Translation of Science and Technology Texts Based on the Differences Between Chinese and Western Modes of Thinking

As a tool for human communication,the use of language is affected by the way of thinking in cross-cultural communication.Due to the differences between Chinese and Western cultures,the way of thinking varies under the influence of such cultural differences.In the process of translation,the influence of the different thinking mode on translation activities cannot be ignored.At present,a lot of studies and researches have focused on the influence of Chinese and Western thinking mode on translation.However,it is still worthwhile to study what specific influence the difference between Chinese and Western thinking mode will exert on the translation process of science texts and what kind of measure should be taken to solve the negative influence brought by the differences when we are translating.This paper aims to discuss the influence of thinking differences between Chinese and Western countries on the process of English-Chinese translation of science and technology from the perspectives of long sentences,passive voice and nominalization,and how the translators should appropriately adjust their thinking pattern and use reasonable skills to eliminate the potential negative interference caused by the difference and achieve a better transformation between English and Chinese.

基于关联理论的认知语境对科技英语翻译(EST)的制约作用

随着现代化科学技术信息的发展,EST在国际上已逐渐发展成为一种重要的英语文体。因此,国内外众多学者对其给予了极大的关注。但是,早期的EST的研究主要集中在一些静态分析方面,比如词汇构成、语法结构等。所以,相应地,也造成传统的EST研究多集中于一些词、句和语法翻译等表层方面,而鲜有结合语境的相关研究。结果是对EST往往是含糊不清、模棱两可等。从关联理论的角度,分析认知语境对EST的制约作用,以期提高EST的效率。
