科技英语阅读
EST Reading 1 EST Reading科技英语阅读 1. Main Features of EST科技英语的主要特点 ① Objectivity (客观性) 文学作品:描写生动,文字优美,而内容大都是人们曾经有过的经历或类似情况,人们读了之后会产生共鸣,而加以欣赏。 科技文章:传授知识,提供不具备或者是不全面具备的新的科技内容,因而着重文章的科学性、事实性和客观性,体现科学工作者的非主观的科学态度。 试比较:描写大海(文学作品) Break, break, break, On thy cold grey stones, O sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thought that arise in me. ---- A. Tennyson 描写大海(科技文章) A sea is smaller than an ocean, and may be more or less landlocked. As powerful agents of corrosion (侵蚀), sea waves carrying gritty sediment (沉淀物) can cut into rock and wear down coastlines. ② Clarity (明确性) 科技文章一般不用意义含糊、会引起误解的词汇和表达方式。 --in a couple of days --in two or three days (better) 在语法结构方面,科技文章里的句子一般都结构比较严密,条理比较清楚,很少有结构上模棱两可的情况。 There are many problems concerning the project to be discussed at the meeting. (可能产生歧义) --将在会上讨论的计划,是有很多问题的。 --关于这计划,有许多问题要在会上讨论。 How to rewrite? --将在会上讨论的计划,是有很多问题的。The project to be discussed at the meeting has many problems in it. --关于这计划,有许多问题要在会上讨论。The project has in it many problems to be discussed at the meeting. ③ Accuracy (准确性) 科技文章要求内容准确、结构严密、概念清楚。文字不必讲究华丽,但内容必须表达无误,体现出科技文章的科学、严谨的性质。 --one fifth of the whole (better) --a small part of the whole ④ Formality (正式性) 科技文章的科学、严谨的性质,以及语言客观、明确、准确的特点,决定了其正式的文体风格。 …正在改建中 …is under reconstruction (more formal) …is being reconstructed
The Ways to Achieve Objectivity & Formality ① The Use of Nouns and Noun Phrases (使用名词和名词短语) Cf. EST Reading 2 --in case of the power interruption (better in an EST writing) --in case the power is interrupted Cf. --If the pressure is decreased, the boiling point of water will become lower. --A decrease in pressure will bring the boiling point of water lower. (better in an EST writing) Cf. --People are all familiar with heat causing metals to expand. (better in an EST writing) --People are all familiar with the fact that heat causes metals to expand. ② The Use of Passive Voice (使用被动语态) Cf. -- Madame Curie is one of the world’s greatest woman scientists and will always be remembered as the discoverer of radium. (better in an EST writing) -- Madame Curie is one of the world’s greatest woman scientists and people will always remember her as the discoverer of radium. ③ The Use of Anticipatory “it” (使用先行词it) 科技文献中常见it is…that/to do句型。 It is stated/ evident/ necessary/ natural/ inevitable/ unavoidable that…/to do …
The Ways to Achieve Accuracy: ① Using Specific Expressions (使用更为明确的表述方式) 一词多义:通过某种方式限定该词在某句话中的具体含义。 Cf. 统计价值以数字表示 --The statistical values are given in figures. -- The statistical values are given in numerical figures. (more specific) (figure: 数字;图表) 多词近义:选取最为准确的词汇。 --The reflected light was taken in by the transducer . -- The reflected light was absorbed by the transducer . (more specific) 专业词汇的使用。 专业词汇严谨、规范、词义单一、使用范围狭窄。有很大一部分由源于希腊语和拉丁语的词缀和词素构成。这两种语言自十九世纪以来变成了一种形态和词义上不再起变化的死语言,但其构词能力很强的基本词缀和词素符合科技术语概念准确、形式固定、一词一义的客观需要。 eg. hydroxide(氢氧化物),isotope (同位素),etc. ② Using Statistics and Figures (使用数据和图表) 数字和图表的使用,使得科技文章的读者能够更加准确、直观的获得相关信息。
2. Technical/ Semi-Technical Words 科技、半科技专业术语 I. Technical Words : 不同专业中使用的专业技术词汇。 它们严谨、规范、词义单一、使用范围狭窄,而且多是国际上通用的。 随着科技发展,新词不断出现。 Features: ① Highly Specialized in Meaning (意义高度专业化) EST Reading 3 --biorhythm 生物节奏 --turbo-prop engine 涡轮浆发动机 --hypercharge 超荷量 --chlorophyll 叶绿素 --cumulonimbus 积雨云 ② The Use of Prefixes and Suffixes (前缀后缀的使用) 科技英语的三大构词手段:派生法、复合法和转化法。 加前后缀的派生法是一种重要手段。 词缀在科技英语中的出现频率远比其它英语文体高。 词缀有很大一部分源于希腊语和拉丁语。广泛用于创造术语。 前缀主要用来改变词义。 后缀则不仅改变词义,也能改变词类。 --predecarbonization = pre- + de- + carbon + -ize + -tion (预先 + 去掉 + 碳 + 化 + 名词词尾 )预脱碳 --magnetohydrodynamics = magneto- + hydro- + dynamics (磁 + 水,流体 + 动力学 )电磁流体动力学 英语构词法对科技人员词汇量扩充有着特别的意义,英语构词常用的前缀、后缀等,对科技人员来说是必须熟悉的。
科技英语中常见前缀举例: “亚,下,外”:sub-, hypo-, infra-, etc. --subsonic 亚音速的 --hypotension 血压过低 --infranics 红外线电子学 “内”:endo-, intra-, etc. --endothermic 吸热的 --intramolecular 分子内的 “外”:ex-, exo-, extra-, etc. --exterior 外部的 --exosphere 外大气层 --extraneous 局外的 “初,原始”:proto- --protozoic 原生动物的 --protocluster 原星团 --protovirus 原始病毒 “非,不,无”:a-, anti-, de-, dis-, in-, non-, un-, etc. --atypical 非典型的 --antibacterial 抗菌的 --dehydration 脱水 --disimmune 免疫性消失的 --nonlinear 非线性的 “微小的,微观的”:micro- --microwave 微波 --microscope 显微镜 “大的,宏观的”:macro- --macrograph 宏观图

科技英语阅读李健答案
科技英语阅读李健答案【篇一:科技英语阅读(李健版)翻译u3】物的适应性植物为了生存也必须像人类和动物一样适应周边的环境。
生存就意味着竞争,我们很难想象植物之间的竞争,但它往往又存在的。
首先,不同的植物之间会争夺阳光、空气、土壤和水。
其次,植物也会与那些吃它或者威胁到它生存环境的人类和动物竞争。
再次,植物所处的环境也可能也是有敌对性的或者不利于植物生长的。
怎样才能有足够的阳光、水分、空气和土壤?气温的冷热就是植物生长的主要因素吗?光对于植物来说是最基本的,尤其是对于绿色植物来说。
绿色植物在光下能制造养分——这是一种被称为光合作用的过程,而光也能影响水分蒸发的速率和花的形成。
温度也是必须考虑的因素。
对于大多数植物来说,所处的温度低于一度或者高于四十三度都将对其造成严重的损伤甚至死亡。
而温度也直接影响了种子的萌芽以及开花,当然温度也决定了它们的地理分布。
没有水植物也是无法生存的。
有些植物的生长过程需要大量的水分,因此潮湿的空气、大量的降水以及溪流湖泊和湿润的土壤对于植物都是重要的。
大多数植物需要有足够空气。
大气中所包含的一些必要的气体包括:氧气、二氧化碳、水蒸气和氮气。
空气移动所产生的风对于植物也有很大影响。
风有助于传播花粉、孢子和种子从而将它们播种在各种地方,但强风也有可能折断或者损害植物,尤其是大树。
而大风吹走了一些有养分的土壤,也会加快水分的蒸发甚至使植物缺水。
土壤对于陆生植物来说是必不可少的。
大部分植物生长在自然土壤里:其中包含着它的湿度、酸度、矿物成分、含氧量。
植物生长也会受到其他竞争生物的影响。
它必须能适应寄生菌、饥饿的鸟类、牛羊等食用叶子的动物,但植物也需要动物帮助传播花粉以及播洒种子。
有树叶和枝干的树以及灌木向我们展示了它们的适应性,这也告诉了我们植物是怎样获得最大量的光和空气的。
和那些山毛榉树、榆树、橡树、苹果树和栗子树一样,它们有一些芽最初是垂直生长的然而另一些却变成了水平生长。
为了能得到最多的阳光,一些垂直生长的枝芽会螺旋缠绕生长以至于不会遮挡到自己下边的叶子。
科技英语阅读与翻译全文
科技英语阅读与翻译全文Humanitarian Aid in SpaceSpace exploration technology will benefit developing countries in a variety of ways. Whether it's information about climate change or communication technologies that give remote areas access to the world outside, space science can come to the aid of vulnerable people in many countries.For the past two decades, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has been sending humanitarian aid dispatched from its space platform. This ambitious project has proved successful, and it’s been praised for its achievements in various aspects.The two strategic areas set forth for JAXA’s humanitarian aid effort are science and education. JAXA’s donations of books and puzzle sets are enabling elementary and junior high school kids in India to study science and math. There are plans to utilize remote sensing data to map out natural resources in Nepalese countryside and expand education related to environmental issues in Vietnam. In addition the agency is sending educational videos to the island nation of Palau tobetter understand their own local wildlife.JAXA is considered to be a pioneer in this area since the launch of their humanitarian aid initiative in 1997. The organization strives to make use of space applications for social welfare and reduce disparities in the world through a number of practical endeavors. The effort currently has a global reach, with projects taking place in seven continent, from Latin America to Africa.JAXA’s humanitarian aid programs will continue to grow with better technology and increased resources. The ongoing work reinforces the concept that space science and technology have the potential to contribute to enhancing the lives of people on Earth.人道主义援助在太空太空探索技术将在各个方面受益于发展中国家。
