1.In the 100 elements available to us, about three quarters can be classified

as metals. And, about half of these are of at least some industrial or commercial importance. Metals, be they pure or alloy, can be further defined as being ferrous or nonferrous in make up. Ferrous alloys are those in which the base or primary metal is iron, manganese, chromium. All other metallic materials automatically fall into the non-ferrous category(范畴).

在人类可获得的一百多种元素中,约四分之三是金属。而这些金属中又大约有一半至少在工业或商业上具有一定的重要性。所有的金属,不管是纯金属还是合金,都能根据成分进一步分成黑色金属或有色金属。黑色金属主要是以铁、锰、铬为主要成分的合金,其余金属材料自然都属于有色金属的范畴。

2.Direct reduction offers a number of advantages including low investment

expenditure and the use of cheap primary energy instead of coke. Consequently, this technique offers may developing countries the possibility of building up a national steel industry. In fact, direct reduction combined with electric arc furnace must in future be considered among the important steel production techniques alongside the blast furnace and oxygen converter technique.

直接还原法具有一些优点,包括低投资成本和使用廉价的原始的能源代替焦炭,所以这种技术为许多发展中国家提供了建设国家钢铁工业的可能性。事实上,与电弧炉结合,直接还原在今后与高炉和吹氧转炉技术一样一定会成为重要的钢铁生产技术。3.In September 2004, the National Cancer Institute announced an initiative to

bring new blood to an old and desperate fight. Called the NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in cancer, the initiative will wager $144.3 million over the next 5 years that nanotechnology will open entirely new and effective strategies for diagnosing and treating cancer. It’s a well-funded sign that expectations for nanotech solutions to cancer extend to the highest governmental levels, and it comes at a time when the battle against the disease seems to be at a standstill. Unlike death rates for heart disease and stroke,

which have declined drastically, cancer mortality has n’t changed since the 1950s.

2004年9月,美国国家癌症研究所宣布了一项重大举措,给这场古老而顽强的抗癌之战注入了新的活力。这个被称为国家癌症研究所癌症纳米技术联盟的行动将在未来5年投资1.443亿美元促使纳米技术开辟一个全新、有效的诊断及治疗癌症的途径。

这是一个资金雄厚的标志,也显示人们对纳米技术治疗癌症的关注程度已经上升到最高层的政府层面。在抗击癌症之战几乎陷入停顿之时,它来的正是时候。与近来死亡率处于下降趋势的心脏病和中风不同,自从20世纪50年代起,癌症的死亡率就一直居高不下。

4.THE European Central Bank (ECB) decided a year ago to hold this week’s

monetary-policy meeting in Barcelona, but the timing turned out to be perfect.

Spain is in the crosshairs of the markets, not least because of budgetary overruns by regional gover nments such as Catalonia’s. And the contrasting economic fortunes of beaten-up Spain, where the jobless rate has reached 24%, and resilient Germany, where it is below 6%, exemplify the difficulty of finding the right monetary policy in a currency union of 17 members.

欧洲中央银行(ECB)早在一年前就决定了将于本周在巴塞罗那召开货币政策会议,现今看来,会议召开的恰是时候。现在的西班牙正处在市场的风口浪尖,特别是因为加泰罗尼亚等自治区政府的预算超支才导致了西班牙到了这般田地。同德国相比,西班牙经济死气沉沉,失业率飙升至24%;德国经济稳步反弹,失业率则低于6%。如此鲜明的对比恰也印证了,在这个由17名成员组成的货币区内制定出一项正确的货币政策确实不易。

5.This study investigates the potential differences between American and

Jordanian undergraduate students’ apology strategies. It attempts to bridge the existing gap in the literature since there are only few studies which discuss Jordanian apology strategies and fewer that compare them to their American counterparts. Not only do the authors tabulate and compare the strategies used by the two groups, as well as the male and female respondents in each group, but they also examine the potential differences in the use of these strategies.

本研究调查了美国大学生和约旦大学生道歉策略潜在的不同,鉴于讨论约旦人道歉策略的文献几乎没有,而且将之与美国大学生道歉策略进行对比的文献也为数不多,本研究试图缩小这一差距。作者不仅用表列出了两组研究对象所使用的道歉策略,对组间和组内男女调查对象进行了对比,还考察了这些策略使用上潜在的差异。

但是,显然还有一些非常现实的问题需要解决。就像任何一种要进入食物链的新食品一样,转基因食品必须经过严格的检验。在富裕的国家里,由于有大量丰富的食品可供选择,而且供应远远超过需求,所以关于生物技术的争论相对缓和一些。在迫切想要养活其迅速增长而又吃不饱的人口的发展中国家,问题比较简单,也更加紧迫:生物技术的好处是否大于风险呢??

关于人口增长和饥饿的统计数字读来令人感到不安。去年,世界人口达到了60亿。

联合国预测,到2050年,这个数字很可能将接近90亿,而增加的人口几乎都来自发

展中国家。与此同时,世界人均耕地正在减少。国际农业生物技术应用服务中心(ISAAA)称,自1960年以来,耕地面积一直持续下降,并将在今后50年减少一半。

8.By the beginning of last century a substantial body of evidence had been

accumulated in support of the idea that the chemical elements consist of atoms.

到上世纪初,已积累了大量的证据来支持这样的观点:化学元素是由原子构成的。

The new ship was designed in accordance with the most modern technology and built with particularly advanced techniques. The whole process of design was checked by computer to ensure that the high strength requirements against underwater explosions were met.

新的舰船是按照最现代化的技术设计,并采用特别先进的方法建造的。整个设计过程通过计算机的检查,以保证满足防止水下爆炸所需要的高强度要求。

9.Over the past sixty years the blast furnace process has made tremendous

progress and attained remarkable performances. Nevertheless, the blast furnace is today strongly challenged by some new processes which should respond to the objectives of producing metallic iron directly from ore fines and from non coking coals without polluting the environment. These new processes are mainly direct reduction and smelting reduction.

在过去的60多年里,高炉工艺取得了巨大的进步并获得了显着的成就。然而,如今高炉正受到一些新工艺的强烈挑战,这些新工艺应对了(实现了)在不污染环境的条件下从矿粉和非焦煤中直接生产铁的要求(目标)。这些新工艺主要包括直接还原和熔融还原。

*Between 1993 and 1997 the researchers questioned 20,000 healthy British men and women about their lifestyles. They also tested every participant's blood to measure vitamin C?intake, an?indicator?of how much fruit and vegetables people ate.

Then they assigned the participants --?aged?45-79 -- a score of between

0 and 4, giving one point for each of the healthy behaviors.

After allowing for age and other factors that could affect the likelihood of dying, the researchers determined people with a score of 0 were four times as likely to have died, particularly from cardiovascular disease.

The researchers, who tracked deaths among the participants until 2006, also said a person with a health score of 0 had the same risk of dying as someone with a health score of 4 who was 14 years older.

The lifestyle change with the biggest benefit was giving up smoking, which led to an 80 percent improvement in health, the study found. This was followed by eating fruits and vegetables.

Moderate drinking and keeping active brought the same benefits, Kay-Tee Khaw and colleagues at the University of Cambridge and the Medical Research Council said.

"Armed with this information, public-health officials should now be in a better position to encourage behavior changes likely to improve the health of?middle-aged and older people," the researchers wrote.

1993年至1997年间,研究人员对英国2万名身体健康的男性和女性的生活习惯进行了调查,他们还检测了每名研究对象血液中的维生素C含量。维生素C能够衡量人们的水果和蔬菜摄入量。之后,研究人员给每位研究对象打分,分值范围为0分到4分,每一种健康习惯得1分。研究对象的年龄在45岁至79岁之间。在综合考虑年龄及其它可能影响寿命的因素后,研究人员得出结论:得分为0分的研究对象死亡的风险为其他人的四倍,这些人尤其容易死于心血管疾病。此外,健康得分为0分的研究对象的死亡风险与比他们大14岁、健康得分为4分的人相同。研究人员对研究对象死亡情况的调查一直持续到2006年。研究发现,最有益于健康的生活方式的改变是戒烟,戒烟后的健康状况能改善80%。其次是吃水果和蔬菜。剑桥大学及医学研究学会的Kay-Tee Khaw及其同事们称,适度饮酒和锻炼身体带来的益处相同。

10.Scientists have discovered how to edit DNA to repair 'broken genes' to cure

incurable diseases -and potentially extend human lifespan. Until now, it has not been possible to alter genes in the brain, heart, liver and eyes - the root of many debilitating illnesses. Since the cells in these vital organs tend not to divide, it is difficult to gain access to make changes. However, researchers at the Salk Institute claim to have landed on 'the holy grail of gene editing', which can delicately and smoothly cut through DNA.So far the technique, called HITI, has been used to successfully restore blindness in

lab mice. Lead researcher Professor Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte insists that is nothing compared to the changes the technique could have in the decades to come. “We are very excited by the technology we discovered beca use it's something that could not be done before,” Dr Belmonte said. “For the first time, we can enter into cells that do not divide and modify the DNA at will. The possible applications of this discovery are vast.” News of the discovery comes a day after Chinese scientists successfully tested a similar DNA-modifying technique, known as CRISPR. To date, CRISPR has been the most effective method for dividing cells in large organs like the skin or the gut.

科学家已经发现如何通过编辑DNA来修复“受损基因”,从而治愈绝症并有可能延长人类寿命。目前为止,人们还无法改变人体大脑、心脏、肝脏和眼睛的基因,而这正是许多使人衰弱的疾病根源。由于这些重要器官的细胞往往不能分裂,因此很难做任何改变。

然而,索尔克研究所(Salk?Institute)的研究人员声称,他们已经捧得“基因编辑的圣杯”,可以精准而顺畅地切断DNA。这种技术被称为HITI,目前已经成功应用于失明的试验小鼠身上。该研究领头人胡安.卡洛斯.依思皮舒.贝尔蒙特(Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte)

教授认为,这项技术在未来几十年将带来无可比拟的改变。贝尔蒙特教授表示,“发现这项技术让我们感到非常兴奋,因为这在以前是无法做到的。”“人类首次攻入了不能分裂的细胞,并随意修改其DNA。这一发现具有巨大的可用价值。”该发现公布前一天,中国科学家成功测试了一种类似的DNA改造技术,被称为CRISPR。对皮肤、肠道等较大的器官来说,CRISPR是迄今为止最有效的分裂细胞的方法。

科技英语翻译的原则_方法及技巧.

翻译是把一种语言里已经表达出来的事物用另一种语言准确流畅地进行重新表达的过程。与其他题材的文章相比,科技专业文章在内容、表达形式和风格上有很大的差别,具有科技性强、专业性强、逻辑严密、表达要求简练的特点,在翻译上力求准确全面、严谨明确和通顺简练。 1科技英语翻译遵循的基本原则 从科技文章的特点来看,大多具有以下几个特征:述说事理、逻辑性强、结构严密、术语繁多,语言严谨、数据精确。这就要求译文必须概念清楚、条理分明、逻辑正确、数据无误,尤其对定义、定律、公式、图表、结论等更应特别注意。科技英语作为特殊英语的一个分支,在词汇构成、遣词造句等方面都有其自身的特点,其语法结构不十分严密、语言习惯和汉语也有不少差别、词汇量大、词语繁多,因此科技英语翻译起来比较困难。另外,科技文章比较重视叙事逻辑上的连贯及表达上的明晰与畅达; 避免行文晦涩,避免表露个人感情,避免论证上的主观随意性。因此,科技英语翻译力求少用或不用描述性形容词以及具有抒情作用的副词、感叹词及疑问词,而是大量使用科技词汇、专业技术用语,译者应尊重客观事实,不能随意改动数据、回避不易翻译的文字,更不能加进自己的主观想象,进行自由翻译。 我国著名翻译家严复提出的“信、达、雅”三准则一直为不少翻译工作者所接受。 “信”指的是译文要忠实于原文,“达”是指译文的通顺达意,“雅”指的是译文的用词修辞。三准则体现了译文和原文信息等值这一基本要领。 “信、达、雅”的翻译准则对各种英语文体的翻译实践都具有指导意义,是衡量一篇译文好坏的标准,也同样适用于科技文献的翻译。由于科技文章特有的文体特征,与其他类文章相比,其“达”和“雅”的内涵不同,它要求在准确传达信息的基础上,使译文更加简洁明快,流畅通顺。2科技英语翻译的基本方法

小议科技英语翻译技巧

小议科技英语翻译技巧 科技文体崇尚严谨周密,概念准确,逻辑性强,行文简练,重点突出,句式严整,少有变化,常用前置性陈述,即在句中将主要信息尽量前置,通过主语传递主要信息。科技文章文体的特点是:清晰、准确、精练、严密。那末,科技文章的语言结构特色在翻译过程中如何处理,这是进行英汉科技翻译时需要探讨的问题。现分述如下: 一、大量使用名词化结构 大量使用名词化结构(Nominalization)是科技英语的特点之一。因为科技文体要求行文简洁、表达客观、内容确切、信息量大、强调存在的事实。而非某一行为。 Archimedes first discovered the principle of displacement of water by solid bodies. 阿基米德最先发展固体排水的原理。 句中of displacement of water by solid bodies 系名词化结构,一方面简化了同位语从句,另一方强调displacement 这一事实。 The rotation of the earth on its own axis causes the change from day to night. 地球绕轴自转,引起昼夜的变化。 名词化结构the rotation of the earth on its own axis 使复合句简化成简单句,而且使表达的概念更加确切严密。 If you use firebricks round the walls of the boiler, the heat loss, can be considerably reduced. 炉壁采用耐火砖可大大降低热耗。 科技英语所表述的是客观规律,因之要尽量避免使用第一、二人称;此外,要使主要的信息置于句首。 Television is the transmission and reception of images of moving objects by radio waves. 电视通过无线电波发射和接受活动物体的图象。 名词化结构the transmission and reception of images of moving objects by radio waves 强调客观事实,而"谓语动词则着重其发射和接受的能力。 二、广泛使用被动语句 根据英国利兹大学John Swales 的统计,科技英语中的谓语至少三分之一是被动态。这是因为科技文章侧重叙事推理,强调客观准确。第一、二人称使用过多,会造成主观臆断的印象。因此尽量使用第三人称叙述,采用被动语态,例如:Attention must be paid to the working temperature of the machine.应当注意机器的工作温度。而很少说:You must pay attention to the working temperature of the machine .你们必须注意机器的工作温度。此外,如前所述,科技文章将主要信息前置,放在主语部份。这也是广泛使用被动态的主要原因。试观察并比较下列两段短文的主语。 We can store electrical energy in two metal plates separated by an insulating medium. We call such a device a capacitor, or a condenser, and its ability to store electrical energy capacitance .It is measured in farads. 电能可储存在由一绝缘介质隔开的两块金属极板内。这样的装置称之为电容器,

学习《科技英语翻译理论与技巧》课程后的几点体会和收获 学院:专业: 班级:姓名:学号: 英语翻译,是具有逻辑思维、科学理论和艺术色彩三者集中亮相的一种语言学问。 但是,在学习《科技英语翻译理论》之前,我对翻译的看法却不是这样认为的,对它的态度却是那么的不恭,那么的不敬,只认为它是语言的奴隶,是一种枯燥乏味的、低俗的赚钱工具,根本谈不上“学问”这一个崇高的词语,更是谈不上它具有科学理论、艺术色彩、逻辑思维这些完美的名词。事实总是存在与主观想法互相不吻合的时刻,庆幸的是,在这个不该延长下去的时刻,我恰恰结束了它的延长时间——我开始学习《科技英语翻译理论》。 现在,在我的脑海中,翻译不再是语言的奴隶,而是语言的灵魂。语言是人与人之间交流的重要工具,如果没有了翻译,那么人与人之间的交流在很大程度上就会受到阻碍,世界的文化交流历史将要重新编写。 翻译不是一个单词一个词语地翻译,而是要拥有逻辑性的翻译。 在学习《科技英语翻译理论》之前,每当翻译句子时,我并没有考虑到译文的逻辑性以及通顺性,直接按照原语言的单词顺序非常死板地翻译成译文,使译文读起来非常生硬,不通顺,不仅大大改变了原语言的韵味,而且大大降低了译文的可读性。但是,自从学习了《科技英语翻译理论》之后,回想起自己以前所翻译的句子,感觉自己跟那些没有学过英语的人没有什么两样。 在翻译时,我们必须考虑译文的逻辑性和通顺性,最起码让译文读起来不会出现拗口以及很乱的感觉。在翻译之前,必须仔细地推敲原语言,把原语言的每一个单词都弄懂,然后再运用译文的逻辑性把这些已经翻译成译文的单词组合在一起,最后理清一下句子的通顺性,经过了这一番程序过程之后,一句很通顺的句子就这样精彩地诞生了。句子通顺畅达,读者读起来朗朗上口,这才体现出翻译的魅力以及美丽。 翻译应该是科学地翻译。 翻译不是精通一门外语,借助于词典和工具书就能为之的事,缺少对原语文化的深入研究,是很难保证翻译的水平和质量,而且是一种枯燥乏味的语言翻译。翻译要熟悉两种语言,悟出语言所具有的无比威力,还要透过语言所传达的信息,了解其背后的文化和精神,从而体会到两种语言文化的差异。语言不仅仅是信息的载体,还是文化的载体。不同民族由于不同的生存环境,对世界的不同认识,往往形成各自独特的文化背景和文化模式。人类对信息

十个必须收藏的SCI论文翻译技巧 ? ?| ?浏览:8 ?| ?更新:2014-10-25 00:11 ?| ?标签:翻译 要使译文显得比较流畅和专业,就必须懂得技巧,专家整理收集了一些技巧,以供大家学习,下面为大家介绍必须收藏的十大技巧,英汉两种语言在句法、词汇、修辞等方面均存在着很大的差异,因此在进行英汉互译时必然会遇到很多困难,需要有一定的技巧作指导。常用的技巧有增译法、省译法、转换法、拆句法、合并法、正译法、反译法、倒置法、包孕法、插入法、重组法和综合法等。 方法/步骤 1. 1 1.增译法:指根据英汉两种语言不同的思维方式、语言习惯和表达方式, 在翻译时增添一些词、短句或句子,以便更准确地表达出原文所包含的意义。这种方式多半用在汉译英里。另外,在汉译英时还要注意增补一些原文中暗含而没有明言的词语和一些概括性、注释性的词语,以确保译文意思的完整。总之,通过增译,一是保证译文语法结构的完整,二是保证译文意思的明确。如:(1)What about calling him right away?马上给他打个电话,你觉得如何?(增译主语和谓语) 2. 2 2. 省译法:这是与增译法相对应的一种翻译方法,即删去不符合目标语 思维习惯、语言习惯和表达方式的词,以避免译文累赘。增译法的例句反之即可。You will be staying in this hotel during your visit in Beijing.你在北京访问期间就住在这家饭店里。(省译物主代词)

3. 3 3转换法:指翻译过程中为了使译文符合目标语的表述方式、方法和习惯而对原句中的词类、句型和语态等进行转换。具体的说,就是在词性方面,把名词转换为代词、形容词、动词;把动词转换成名词、形容词、副词、介词;把形容词转换成副词和短语。在句子成分方面,把主语变成状语、定语、宾语、表语;把谓语变成主语、定语、表语;把定语变成状语、主语;把宾语变成主语。在句型方面,把并列句变成复合句,把复合句变成并列句,把状语从句变成定语从句。在语态方面,可以把主动语态变为被动语态。我们学院受教委和市政府的双重领导。Our institute is co-a dministrated by the States Education Commission and the municip al government. (名词转动词) 4. 4 4.拆句法和合并法:这是两种相对应的翻译方法。拆句法是把一个长而复杂的句子拆译成若干个较短、较简单的句子,通常用于英译汉;合并法是把若干个短句合并成一个长句,一般用于汉译英。I wish to thank you for the incomparable hospitality for which the Chinese people a re justly famous throughout the world.我要感谢你们无与伦比的盛情款待。中国人民正是以这种热情好客而闻明世界的。(在定语从句前拆译) 5. 5 5.正译法和反译法:这两种方法通常用于汉译英,偶尔也用于英译汉。所谓正译,是指把句子按照与汉语相同的语序或表达方式译成英语。所谓反译则是指把句子按照与汉语相反的语序或表达方式译成英语。在美国,人人都能买到枪。In the United States, everyone can buy a gun. (正译)In the United States, guns are available to everyone. (反译) 6. 6

科技英语翻译技巧

科技英语翻译技巧 科技文章的语言结构特色在翻译过程中如何处理,这是进行英汉科技翻译时需要探讨的问题。现分述如下: 一、大量使用名词化结构 大量使用名词化结构(Nominalization)是科技英语的特点之一。因为科技文体要求行文简洁、表达客观、内容确切、信息量大、强调存在的事实。而非某一行为。 Archimedes first discovered the principle of displacement of water by solid bodies. 阿基米德最先发现了固体排水的原理。 句中of displacement of water by solid bodies 系名词化结构,一方面简化了同位语从句,另一方强调displacement 这一事实。 The rotation of the earth on its own axis causes the change from day to night. 地球绕轴自转,引起昼夜的变化。 名词化结构the rotation of the earth on its own axis 使复合句简化成简单句,而且使表达的概念更加确切严密。 If you use firebricks round the walls of the boiler, the heat loss, can be considerably reduced. 炉壁采用耐火砖可大大降低热耗。 科技英语所表述的是客观规律,因之要尽量避免使用第一、二人称;此外,要使主要的信息置于句首。 Television is the transmission and reception of images of moving objects by radio waves. 电视通过无线电波发射和接受活动物体的图象。 名词化结构the transmission and reception of images of moving objects by radio waves 强调客观事实,而"谓语动词则着重其发射和接受的能力。 二、广泛使用被动语句 根据英国利兹大学John Swales 的统计,科技英语中的谓语至少三分之一是被动态。这是因为科技文章侧重叙事推理,强调客观准确。第一、二人称使用过多,会造成主观臆断的印象。因此尽量使用第三人称叙述,采用被动语态,例如:Attention must be paid to the working temperature of the machine.应当注意机器的工作温度。而很少说:You must pay attention to the working temperature of the machine .你们必须注意机器的工作温度。此外,如前所述,科技文章将主要信息前置,放在主语部份。这也是广泛使用被动态的主要原因。 1. Most primary highways are built and cared for by state governments. 大部分主要的公路都是由联邦政府建造和管理。 这里…are built and cared for 就是被动语态 2. The proportion of the various ingredients which go into concrete , the way it is mixed , and even the water which is used are very important to the finished material. 制作混凝土所用的各种配料的比例,搅拌的方法,乃至所用的水,对成品材料来说都是十分重要的。 此句有两处是被动语态。
