Unit 11 Scientific Document Principles in C-E Translation of Scientific Document 1. precision 2. clarity 3. brevity 4. objectiveness 1. For precision : diction, collocation 2. For clarity : amplification, non-finite structure eg1. 大多数金属都是良导体,而银是最好的导电金属。 Most metals are good conductors, and silver is the best of the metals that conduct electricity. 改译： Most metals are good conductors，with silver being the best. eg2. 钢筋混凝土连续梁在荷载作用下，其钢度不断产生变化，内力出现重新分布现象． The sectional rigidity of an R.C. continuous beam subjected to external load will change The sectional rigidity of an R.C. continuous beam subjected to external load will change continuously. Thus, a redistribution of forces appears. 改译：The sectional rigidity of an R.C. continuous beam subjected to external load will change continuously, thus, causing a redistribution of forces. 3. For brevity: Omission, Nominal structure ing- structure, Combination compound word: 试比较下列一段划的一段话的译文： 专门用于汽车大赛的汽车如，夏夫来(Safari)或蒙特卡罗（Monte Carlo），从外观上看与从汽车修理厂买来的主要用于普通用途的汽车没有什么区别。事实上，它们有区别，参加大赛的汽车是经过特殊方式制造的。首先，它们所采用的部件必须经过严格的测试；其次，选好的部件要经过精心组装，也就是说，参赛的汽车事实上是通过手工制造的。 译文1:The car which are used in rallies like the Safari or the Monte Carlo look the same as ordinary cars which have been bought from a garage. In fact, they are not the same; they are cars which have been specially prepared. Firstly, only components which have been rigorously tested are used. Secondly, the components which are chosen are put together much more carefully. In other words, the cars which are driven in rallies are in effect cars that have been built by hand. 译文2：The rally-used cars like Safari or the Monte Carlo look the same as ordinary garage-bought cars. In fact, they are not the same; they are specially-prepared cars. Firstly, only rigorously-tested components are used. Secondly, the chosen components are put together carefully.
