文体学视角下的机械工程类文章的汉译英

论文摘要

本文从比较新的文体学的角度来研究翻译,旨在从文体学的角度探讨机械工程类文章汉译英的相关原则和方法。作者认为对科技文章要进行一般的语言学分析,还要对其进行文体特征的分析。由于科学技术内容的特定性,必然影响语言形式,因而科技语言必然带上显著的文体特征,即准确、清晰及简明。对科技文章进行文体分析,再将这些文体特点反映在英语译文中,将有助于使译文忠实于原文的意义与文体,从而产生优秀的科技翻译作品。本文先就中英文在思维和用词以及句子结构方面的特点进行了比较。然后分析讨论了机械工程类文章的文体特点,并从文体学的角度分析讨论了机械工程类学术文章汉译英的技巧。最后指出好的科技翻译需要翻译者对汉、英两种语言都要有良好的了解,同时也需要译者对所涉及学科有基本的了解,更重要的是文体分析在汉英翻译中是必不可少的。
