ke full preparations in three aspects before translating.First,they shouldchoose a translation theory that can guide the translation task.The second is to prepare thetranslation tools you need or may need.Third,make a reasonable translation plan to ensurethat the translation task is executed and completed as planned.

2.1.1 The Choice of Translation Tools

The preparation of translation tools provides a strong guarantee for completing thetranslation task quickly and effectively.Firstly,choose a translation theory that can guide thetranslation task.Secondly,prepare the translation tools that may be needed.Translators haveprepared several paper English dictionaries,such as Longman Dictionary of Modern English(6th edition)and Oxford Advanced Dictionary of English(8th edition).The translator alsoprepared several online translation software,including Youdao Online Translation,GoogleTranslation,Baidu Translation and so on.Printed English dictionaries and online translationsoftware can help translators understand the meaning of the original text correctly.Thirdly,the translator has collected parallel texts related to Australian multiculturalism,and the searchand research of parallel texts is to better understand the relevant content:Translators searchfor relevant content through KI,library and other resources.

2.2 Translation Process

After making preparation for translation,the translator should have a certainunderstanding of the translation material and translation context,which will make thetranslation process smoother.The text I translated is Australian politics and multiculturalism,which belongs to informative text.I searched the relevant information online and found thatit was more appropriate to use Newmark's communicative translation theory.Then,I began totranslate the text.For the content that cannot be solved by the current parallel texts and toolsat hand,the translator needs to mark it well and translate it after discussion with the tutor andclassmates.Although the translation content has been basically finalized,it may be revisedafter repeatedly considering the translation theory and translation content when writing thetranslation practice report.In addition,it is necessary to pay attention to the use of vocabulary.Some words are not used accurately enough,so translators still have a long way to go.As weall know,the translation process is very important to the whole translation practice,becausethe first draft of the translation practice is formed at this time,so the translator must be verycareful in this translation practice and strictly adhere to the timetable.After the first draft istranslated,it is an effective way to review it by passing it around and reviewing it withclassmates.The same text can be translated by different translators,which can trigger thetranslators'inspiration and spark discussion,so as to make the translation more accurate.
