Chapter Two Translation Process

2.1 Pre-translation Process

Pre-translation preparation is important as it matters to the translator’s understanding of the source text, as well as the overall quality of the translation. Understanding is the first step in translation, and expression is the embodiment of understanding (Feng, 2010). The source text is professional and has lots of terms, the translator can collect some related parallel texts as references. In addition, by collecting terms in the source text, the translator can build her own glossary to deal with the terms more efficiently and accurately.

2.1.1 Parallel Texts Reading

Parallel texts are interrelated and affect each other. In the process of translation, by using parallel text translator can easily find the equivalent words and sentences, accurately grasp the text content, and effectively solve the problems of terminology. By reading parallel texts, the translator can have a deeper understanding of the differences between English and Chinese texts, break the constraints of the source text, and better achieve the equivalence between the source text and the translated version.

2.2 In-translation Process

The in-translation is the concrete process of the completion of this translation task and is essential for solving problems in translation as well as for summing up the experience. As the translator has little background knowledge in the medical field, a lot of time and effort is required in the translation. Under the guidance of the translation shifts theory, the translator tries her best to make the translation faithful and accurate based on a full understanding of the source text.

The translation tools can be used to improve the efficiency of translation and provide the translator with information at both linguistic level and cognitive level. In this translation practice, the translator makes extensive use of online dictionaries and websites to search for information. Specifically, the translator uses online dictionaries such as Youdao Dictionary, Collins Dictionary and others to search for difficult words encountered in translation, and selected the most suitable medical meaning for the source text according to the English definitions given by the dictionary. For the terms in the source text, the translator can verify them through Letpub, the National Library of Medicine, the Dictionary of Biomedicine and the English-Chinese Medical Dictionary, and check the explanations of the terms in the browser for confirmation.
