Like Chinese, a English wold usually has several
different meanings, so you should understand the correct meaning of the word
before translating. Generally, translator can choose the word according to the
following three methods: collocation of context and words, word category
selection and major selection.
When translating, translator should know Chinese
culture well. That is to say, translator should translate the English word into
Chinese according Chinese habit, culture. Sometimes, it is not better translate
the the original meaning of English words into Chinese. In other words, it is
anti-translated text or translation of the text in anti.
Sometimes, it needs exchange the category of
words. Translator can find that it is need change the form of the words such as
nouns, gerunds, non-finite verbs into verbs. Only in this way can translate a
sentence or document well.
If just translate the original meaning of the word
into Chinese cannot state the meaning well, you need to supple the meaning thus
the text can become more easy for reading.
