Global Translation Of Select Translator_____ Some people lament that there are too few excellent translators in China and no suitable translators can be found. But I never did. From my perspective, I can see that there are many excellent translators, but Bole is really scarce. This article aims to explain the influence of global translation on the choice of translators and provide some tips or suggestions for the translators. _____ Note 1: the translators mentioned in this article only consider scientific and technical book translators, and only consider English Translation into Chinese. If you think this article is inappropriate, Please mail me: be-flying@sohu.com, thank you. _____ NOTE 2: This article is based on the article "global translation: full liberation of translation ideas": http://blog.csdn.net/be_flying/archive/2008/04/20/2308725.aspx. _____ What are the so-called excellent translators? In addition to having sufficient English proficiency, there are two conditions: 1. Good Technical Skills 2. Good writing skills. The article is important, but the technical skills are the first important. As long as you have a good technical skills, you can basically clarify the technology and there will be no major problems. A good article can bring a better reading experience to readers. _____ Selecting a translator is how to bring a good translator to the surface. The following describes how global translation affects the choice of translators: _____ 1. Global translation can reflect the translator's Chinese expression ability -- Text_____ If the translator applies for translation, he will be guided to use global translation. In fact, we started by telling him how to get the freedom of expression: as long as you fully understand the original article, you can get the freedom of expression. At the same time, he is also telling him that he needs to use the freedom of expression when he is free of expression-flexible expression. A person with the freedom of expression can express his expression at his original level. This means that only the translation he has translated can reflect his situation, that is, it can reflect his Chinese expression ability. If the Translator does not have the freedom to express, he cannot reflect his true text and pen situations. In addition, there may be "some translators who speak normally and are even handsome, the translation is not like Chinese. _____ Some people who select the translator hope the translator can write a fluent translation that conforms to Chinese reading habits. However, due to lack of correct guidance, the translator's freedom of expression is actually deprived. As a result, he grabbed the translator's neck with both hands and said to the translator, "speak." The translator was very difficult to spit out some discontinuous and strange sounds due to being suffocated. The man holding the translator's neck said, "What do you say is not like Chinese ?", He didn't figure out who grabbed the translator's neck first. Can a person holding his neck still speak fluent and Chinese-style words? _____ 2. Global free translation can reflect the translator's technical skills_____ According to the concept of global translation, "the translator has no freedom to express without truly understanding the original text. If you do not understand the translation, the translator will only translate the original sentence (structure), including hard translation. I have encountered many such hard translations in my previous translation management ". This shows that if the translator's technical skills are not good, he cannot express himself or herself. Therefore, the translation will not be smooth, and the meaning of the translation will be hard to understand, logically or technically speaking. _____ If you do not tell the translator to use global translation before the trial translation, then the translator will feel confused about how the translation can satisfy the quality requirements of the other party, he does not know how to translate to meet the requirements. This may make it impossible for a good translator to enter the perspective of the person who chooses the translator. In this case, I have encountered too many and too many. As long as you tell him how to translate and then let him try the translation, the effect will be significantly different. _____ 3. The idea of global translation puts forward higher requirements for translators._____ From the description of global translation, we can see that global translation has a high requirement on translators. For example, a translator must have a thorough understanding of the context of the original text in order to gain freedom of expression. This imposes high requirements on the translator's technical skills and professional background. Generally, the translator cannot do this. In terms of building the translation context, the translator is required to understand each sentence, so that each sentence can meet the translation context requirements, this puts forward obvious requirements on the translator's sentence organizational ability. If you have experience writing books, you will do better in this regard. _____ Therefore, the idea of global free translation will drive translators to find translators with high technical skills and skills. _____ Of course, there are other aspects to consider about how to select a translator, such as the translator's attitude. _____ Welcome to further discussion in this article, email: be-flying@sohu.com.
