課程概述 |
This practical course focuses on training students’ competence in translating from Chinese into English (C-E). On the basis of scaffolding learning, the course consists of two parts. The first section lays foundation for students to develop a critical eye towards the primary issues in translation as a whole and most importantly those when the directionality of C-E translation is concerned; these include the lingua-cultural understanding of the two main languages; the para-translation skills vital to the actual translation process; the essential translation techniques in dealing with C-E translation; and the awareness of avoiding Chinglish in translation. The second part zooms into the intensive translation practices and discussion aiming at familiarising students with the linguistic and textual features C-E translation. |
