科技英语中专业术语的翻译

科技英语中专业术语的翻译

科技英语中专业术语的翻译1.意译:根据科技术语的含义,将其翻译成汉语里和它完全对等的名词就叫意译。

对单个词语来说,意译也就是直译。

意译法是最常用的翻译方法,它能使读者直接了解术语的含义。

例子如下:①firewall........:防火墙②data mining..........:数据挖掘③automatic program control.......................:自动程序控制2.形译:英语中有些科技术语的前半部分是表示该术语形象的字母或单词,翻译成汉语时可把这一部分翻译成表示具体形象的词,或保留原来的字母,这就叫形译。

例子如下:I.-.bar...X光;α.-.brass.....麻花钻;X.-.Ray.....α黄铜[1]....环形圈;twist...工字钢、工字条;O.-.ring.....-.drill3.音译:根据英语发音翻译成汉语里相应的词。

科技英语中某些有专业名词构成的术语、单位名称、新型材料的名称等,在翻译时都可采用音译法。

例子如下:●gene.......奔腾....基因;quark.....夸克;Pentium●celluloid.....尼龙.........赛璐璐;nylon●Hertz.....流明(光通量单位).....(Hz)赫兹(频率单位);lumen4.缩写词:英语首字母缩写词在科技新词中占很大比重,这类词如果译成汉语,就显得拖沓冗长,因此很多情况下干脆不翻译。

例子如下:☺CPU....................(中央处理器)...:.C.entral Processing Unit☺ASCII... I.nformation.......... (美国信息交换标准码)... for.......... I.nterchange....... C.ode.....:.American S.........tandard☺ATM....... M.ode...(异步传输方式)...:.A.synchronous........... T.ransfer一些国际组织的缩写也常采用这种办法。

科技术语的译法

科技术语的译法

科技术语的译法科技术语的译法科技术语的译法随着社会的进步和科技的发展,新的发明创造不断涌现,随之也就出现了描述这些事物的新术语。

在科技英语翻译中,我们常常碰到如何把这类术语译成适当的汉语的问题。

通常,有以下约定俗成的方法。

1. 意译:意译就是对原词所表达的具体事物和概念进行仔细推敲,以准确译出该词的科学概念。

这种译法最为普遍,在可能的情况下,科技术语应采用意译法。

例如:holography 全息摄影术astrionics 宇航电子学guided missile 导弹aircraft carrier 航空母舰videophone 可视电话walkie-talkie 步话机power roller 健腹轮e-mail 电子邮件一般说来,有三类科技新词语采用此译法:1.1.合成词:由两个或两个以上旧词构成的复合词skylab 太空实验室moonwalk 月球漫步friction factor 摩擦系数1.2.多义词:旧词转义,即通过赋予旧词以新义而构成新术语drone 雄蜂无人驾驶飞机bug 臭虫窃听器computer 计算者计算机1.3.派生词:在原有的词根上加前缀或后缀构成新术语例如:thermocouple 热电偶voltmeter 电压表2. 音译:音译就是根据英语单词的发音译成读音与原词大致相同的汉字。

采用音译的科技术语主要有两类:2.1.计量单位的词:hertz 赫兹(频率单位)bit 比特(度量信息的单位,二进制位)lux 勒克司(照明单位)joule 焦耳(功或能的单位)2.2. 某些新发明的材料或产品的名称(尤其在起初时):celluloid 赛璐珞(硝纤象牙)nylon 尼龙(酰胺纤维)sonar 声纳(声波导航和测距设备)vaseline 凡士林(石油冻)morphine 吗啡一般地说,音译比意译容易,但不如意译能够明确地表达新术语的涵义。

因此,有些音译词经过一段时间后又被意译词所取代,或者同时使用。

科技英语翻译基本方法和技巧

科技英语翻译基本方法和技巧

科技英语翻译基本方法和技巧1.词义的引申2.词类转换2.1转换成汉语动词2.2转换成汉语名词2.3转换成汉语形容词2.4转换成汉语副词3.增词3.1增加表示名词复数概念的词语3.2增加表示时态的词语3.3增加表示句子主语的词语3.4增加原文中省略的词语3.5增加具体化、明确化的词语3.6增加起语气连贯作用的词语1.词义的引申英译汉时,有时会遇到某些词在词典中找不到适当的词义,如果生搬硬套词典中的释义,译文则不能确切地表达原文的意思,甚至造成误译。

这时就应结合上下文和逻辑关系,根据汉语的表达习惯,引申词义。

所谓词义引申,就是指对某些英语词汇的含义加以扩展和变通,使其更准确地表达原文词汇所表达的特定意思。

词义的引申主要包括三个方面的内容。

1.1专业化引申英语科技文章所使用的词汇有些借自日常生活用语,但在科技语境中已赋有了不同于日常语境的专业化语义。

因此,翻译时应基于其基本意义,根据所涉及专业引申出其专业化语义。

例如:(1)His mother died of difficult labor.他母亲死于难产。

(不译作“困难的劳动”)(2)The major problem in manufacturing is the control of contamination and foreign material.制造时的一个主要问题是控制污染和杂质。

(不译作“外界物质”)(3)The running of such automated establishments remains only a matter of reading various meters mounted on panels.管理这种自动化工厂只不过要求查看一下控制台上的各种仪表而已。

(不译作“阅读”)(4)More weight must be placed on the past history of patients.必须更加重视患者的病史。
