課程概述

Course Description
This course aims to offer practical training in developing students’ awareness of and skills in translating for museum and exhibitive purposes. While aiming at fostering students’ reflective approaches of their own translation process as novice translators, students would be particular encouraged to contemplate the essential styles and characteristics of such text types, including their informative, expressive and operative dimensions; as such, students are required to develop the problem-solving skills in handling the translation challenges encountered in the process. Further to honing the translation skills for such a text type, students are also encouraged to develop and strengthen the revision and editing techniques. Apart from translating practices, students are given the opportunity to critique and compare the existing translations with their own translations, so as to identify the extent to which their translations can be improved and fine-tuned.

課程目標
