I Answer the following questions related to EST Translation (30’)（2个题）

1. What’s the definition of EST (English of Science & Technology)?

EST (English for Science & Technology or Technical English or Scientific English) is a special language variety widely used in the fields of science and technology. It’s believed that it first came to being in the 1950s along with the rapid development of science and technology, and it many researchers and scholars began to conduct investigation of this common feature of this special genre including reading comprehension, writing and even translation.

2. What are stylistic features of EST?

Completely different from other genres such as everyday English, literature English, EST has its own stylistic features due to the specialty in content, field and discourse functions, and partly due to the unique habits of EST writers, which are mostly represented in lexical level and syntactical level.

3. What are the general features of Compound Technical Terms?

A. accuracy（确切性）: accurately reflect the nature of the concept

B. monosemy（单义性）: one sense for one word

C .systematization（系统性）:the individual technical terms in a given field should be in a specific level so as to constitute a common system

D. linguistically correct（语言的正确性）: in accordance with the word-formation in the same language

E. conciseness（简明性）: concise and easy to remember

F. motivation（理据性）: just as the name implies, one can know the meaning of the word.

G. stability（稳定性）: stable and unlikely to change

H. productivity（能产性）: once established, it is easy to produce more neologisms based the original one by means of word-formation

4. What are common rules for Technical Term Translation?

As such, we should deal with the relationship of the following aspects:

A. monosemy vs. conciseness

monosemy is the priority

B. motivation vs. accuracy

As science knowledge is rather abstract, motivation in translation is preferred

C. stability vs. productivity

Productivity is the priority

D. systematization vs. linguistically correct

Before translation of compound technical terms, we should be aware of the nature and tradition of Chinese word-formation.

E. Chinese language trait vs. conciseness

As for the numbers of characters, we prefer to use pair characters （偶数词语）or even 4-character expressions（四字结构）.

II. Underline and mark out the themes and rhymes of the following sentences with the capital letters T and R respectively. (10’)（2个题）

1. Aluminum, though much less strong than steel, can be given a strength approaching that of steel when it is alloyed with small quantities of copper, manganese and magnesium, and subjected to hot treatment processes.

2. Each cylinder therefore is encased in a water jacket, which forms part of a circuit through which water is pumped continuously, and cooled by means of air drawn in from the outside atmosphere by large rotary fans, worked off the main crankshaft, or in the large diesel-electric locomotives, by auxiliary motors.

3. We, the authors having handled a variety of metals and alloys for over forty years, can reassure those following that there is still much scope for craft and ingenuity in metallurgy, despite the fact that great strides have been made in it as a science during the past seventy years, and also that real fundamental understanding and valid explanations of many of the properties of metals which are used by man still call for intensive scientific work.

V. Passage translation (20’)（1个段落）

Suspension Bridges

Suspension bridges are frequently constructed in preference to other types of bridge, especially where relatively light traffic has to be carried over long spans, since they are more economical in material and are extremely strong. There are in existence suspension bridges with main spans of more than 3000 feet, the entire weight of the deck being supported from above by cables (usually only two or four in number) suspended between two towers at either side of the river.

建造悬索桥往往比其他形式的桥有利，特别是在跨度较大且通过载荷又不太大的情况下更为有利。这是因为悬索桥用料较为经济，且较为坚固耐用。世界上有的悬索桥，主跨度长达3000英尺，桥板的总体重量，全部吊载在河两边塔墩间悬架的缆索（通常两根或四根）上。

The cables are composed of thousands of wires, made of high-ensile steel, which are galvanised to resist corrosion. Two or three hundred of these wires, each of about 0.19 inch in

diameter, are clamped together to form a single strand, and the whole able may consist of a considerable number of such strands compacted and bound together with wire. In constructing the cable, two distinct methods may be adopted. The wires may either be listed into strands, the strands then sometimes being twisted round a central strand to form the completed cable, or they may be spun parallel to each other, and clamped together at intervals. The latter method obviously involves a much longer spinning operation, since each wire or small group of wires must be spun and adjusted to the correct sag individually, whereas the strands of Twisted wire can be erected as units, provided that they are not so heavy as to be unmanageable. However, on bridges with very long spans, there are certain advantages in the parallel wire method of spinning the cable.

缆索用上千根电镀防腐的高抗拉钢丝制成。每根钢丝直径为0.19英寸，将二百或三百根这样的钢丝拧成一股绞索，一根缆索由许多股这样的钢丝绞索压紧，并用钢丝绑扎到一起而组成，制作缆索主要采用两种方法：一种是先钢丝拧成股，然后将各股钢丝再绕着一根心股拧股到一起，而成整根的绞合缆索；另一种是将钢丝彼此平行配绞并分段固紧在一起。显然，后一种方法需要进行冗长的工序，因为每根钢丝或每组钢丝都需要绞合而且要分别校正挠度。而绞合在一起的钢丝股，只要不重，以致影响施工，就可以作为一个组合体进行安装。然而，对于大跨度桥梁来说，用平行绞合绕成线法是有一定优点的。

The cables are normally made continuous through the tops of the towers, down through side towers, where these exist, and thence into the anchorage. They bear on specially constructed saddles on the towers, which are shaped to accommodate them, the saddles being either fixed so that the cables may slide over them, or mounted on rollers so that they move with any movement of the cables. In view of the enormous pull exerted by the heavy cables, their ends must be secured in firm anchorages, and unless they can be embedded in sound natural rock, constructions of masonry or concrete must be provided strong enough to withstand the severe pressures put upon them. The

cable strands are normally looped round strand-shoes, which are in turn connected by chains to an anchor-plate embedded in the base of the anchorage.

通常,经塔墩顶部悬拉的缆索，要一直拉过两侧存在的桥墩，然后固定在嵌块中；缆索紧压在塔墩上面特制的滑座上，滑座根据缆索制成，可以固定，使缆索在上面滑动，也可安装在滚柱轴承上，使滑座随缆索任意移动。考虑到缆索很重，拉力较大，所以缆索端头必须牢靠地固定在系缆嵌块上。如果缆索不能牢固地固定在天然岩石上，那么就应当构筑石材结构或混凝土结构，其强度应足以承受强大的作用力。通常缆索端头做成环套，然后通过铁链连接到系缆板上；而系缆板则港灌注在嵌块的底座上。

At intervals along the main span, cast-steel cable bands are attached to the cables, gripping them firmly and excluding moisture from them, and from these bands suspenders of wire-rope or chains hang down. Since these suspenders have to take the weight of the deck to which they are attached, they must have high tensile strength. One advantage of using the braced-chain suspenders is that they largely dispense with the need for a system of stiffening, being themselves rigid. This stiffening is necessary to resist deformations of the deck of the bridge due to moving traffic loads and also to resist lateral pressures from wind. In the case of wire-rope suspenders, the stiffening must be provided by trusses constructed at the level of the deck, the depth of the truss varying with the length of the span.

沿着主跨的一定间隔，在缆索上装有铸钢箍圈；箍圈可牢固箍紧缆索并可使缆索同湿气和水分隔绝。钢杆吊索或钢链吊索便从这些箍圈向下悬垂。因为这些吊索须承受其所连接的桥板的重量，所以吊索必须具有很高的抗拉强度。使用悬链吊索的一个优点在于，吊索本身是钢性结构，因而在很大程度上可免去加筋系统。（这种加筋系统对于消除桥板动载变形以及风载侧向压力是必须的。）在使用悬链吊索的情况下，应在板桥水平位置上构筑桁架进行加固，桁架高度随跨度长度而有所不同。

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 ．．． 工字钢、工字条；O ．-．ring ．．．． 环形圈；twist ．．．．．-．drill ．．．．．麻花钻；X ．-．Ray ．．．X 光；α．-．brass ．．．．． α黄铜[1] 3.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 ．．．． 基因；quark ．．．．． 夸克；Pentium ．．．．．．． 奔腾 celluloid ．．．．．．．．． 赛璐璐；nylon ．．．．． 尼龙 Hertz ．．．．．（Hz ）赫兹（频率单位）；lumen ．．．．．流明（光通量单位） 4.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 ．．．：．C ．entral Processing Unit ．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．(中央处理器) ASCII ．．．．．：．American S ．．．．．．．．．tandard ．．．．．．． C ．ode ．．． for ．．． I ．nformation ．．．．．．．．．． I ．nterchange ．．．．．．．．．． (美国信息交换标准码) ATM ．．．：．A ．synchronous ．．．．．．．．．．． T ．ransfer ．．．．．．． M ．ode ．．． (异步传输方式) 一些国际组织的缩写也常采用这种办法。例子如下： WTO ．．．(国际贸易组织)；UNESCO ．．．．．．(联合国教科文组织)；WHO ．．．(世界卫生组织)；IOC ．．． (国际奥委会)
