三峡大学硕士学位论文 try to help popular science translators at work and make a contribution to the healthy development of E-C popular science translation. 1.2 Organization of the thesis This thesis consists of five chapters and the organization goes as follows: Chapter one is the introduction part. It presents the background of the study and lists the structure of the thesis. Chapter two is literature review for the research. In this part we discuss the weak points of Hatim and Mason’s theory and Character-center theory in their application to E-C popular science translation. Thus the necessity of the theory combination is shown clearly. In chapter three we introduce both the theoretical basis and the detailed mode of the combination of Hatim and Mason’s theory and Character-center theory. We analyze the essence of Hatim and Mason’s translation theory and point out that all of their discussion centers around one thing: meaning. They classified context to three dimensions and discussed the relation between context factors and meaning. On the other hand, Character-center is a theory about language proper, it mainly involved the basic law of Chinese organization. The regularity and rules of Chinese reflect the thinking mode of Chinese people, which influences the comprehension and expression of meaning. The two theories respectively involve two factors of meaning: “context” and “sign”. As both context and sign are important factors of meaning, the core of the combination should be “meaning”. Then we identify the detailed mode of analysis. There are seven key parameters in Hatim and Mason’s theory, with which it would be easier for translators to infer and express the meaning more precisely. We extract three new parameters according to Character-center theory. The new parameters – “character to ci”, “dou to sentence” and “sentence to text” reflect the basic law of Chinese organization, i.e., “the law of interaction between syllables and meaning.” We then develop the new model on
