Theory and Practice of Non-Literary Translation》 Reflections Reference After reading a book, everyone must have a lot of feelings in their hearts, so it is necessary to write down their feelings after reading. So how do we go about writing our impressions? The following is my collection of "Theory and Practice of Non-Literary Translation" after reading the reference, welcome to share.

This book is the first translation theory book I have read in its entirety, and I have to say that it is really a good book. Professor Li Changzhuan of Peking University's translation attainments are really breathtaking, and after reading it, I feel that it is too late to see each other. I hate that I didn't think about self-reliance two years ago, relying on the manuscripts provided by low-cost translation companies, doing average quality manuscripts, and receiving a fixed low salary, so I wasted the time I should have grown up in the past two years.

The analysis of the logic of the original text in the book particularly shocked me, and undoubtedly gave me a resounding slap in the face. I have never dealt with the logical relationship of the original text, cause and effect, before and after, any logic has been left behind by me, and I have always maintained the practice of dead literal translation. I privately thought that with this approach, I could stay in the usual translation company for two or three years, of course, I was very incompetent, but the translation company that recruited me was not very good.

Professor Li Changxuan attaches great importance to the status of translators, believing that translators have the same status as the original author, so translators are required to have qualified abilities. Nowadays, very few people in today's society will see translators in this way, and the remuneration given to translators is very small, and naturally translators are not willing to increase. But there are always some people who will not be willing to be in this low-level position, and they will work hard to improve their abilities, and then gain real recognition.

I believe I myself am one of them.

Back to this book, the content is detailed and well-organized, and each example will be given in the original translation and adapted version, so that the reader can understand the meaning of the specific theory in a comparative way; There are many comparisons between literary and non-literary translations; The treatment of figurative devices is described; A large amount of space explains the logical relationships implied in Chinese; Cited a large number of ** reports, but not based on the published translations; Develops a reader's critical way of thinking; The use of punctuation marks is explained in general; There are also several pages of translation links at the end of the article, and translations are provided.

Although I have read it, I feel that I have only mastered 40%, and I still don't understand the state dialect in many places, and I also have some doubts about the processing of the translation, and I wonder if some of the processing is omitted too much and is a missing translation? But it doesn't matter, I will definitely read this book again in the future, it is also a book that I often read and always renew, maybe I will read it according to my own book list, and I will have new insights and insights when I look back and read it again.

Some people may say that studying is so difficult, and it sounds so hard to squeeze out time to read books and study every day during breaks and play with mobile phones. I used to think the same way, thinking that I had already read it on the subway this morning, and I would play with my phone in the afternoon to take a break, so that I didn't finish this book until now, but I don't think so now, and I only feel tired if I regard studying as a burden. However, if you take learning as a daily activity, immerse yourself in an environment of self-reflection and self-summary, and practice and self-improvement, learning will not be tiring at all.

There are some differences in the requirements for literary and non-literary translations.

For literary translation, the translator is required not only to be proficient in the language, but also to understand the cultural background and language style of the original work, and at the same time to have strong creativity and literary aesthetic ability, and be able to faithfully convey the emotions and style of the original work to the reader. In addition, literary translation should also take into account the literary value and linguistic beauty of Lu Bi's works, and strive to retain the literary style and characteristics of the original works in the translation process. Literary translation requires the translator to be able to use the most suitable vocabulary and language structure to express the emotions and thoughts of the original work, as well as to interpret the cultural values represented by the original work.

For non-literary translation, translators are required to pay more attention to precision and accuracy, emphasize the accuracy of conveying the original information, and should not add too many of their own opinions. In addition, for non-literary translations, industry terminology and domain knowledge need to be taken into account, especially in the field of technology, where translators need to have specialized knowledge and skills.

Whether it is literary translation or non-literary translation, translators need to have good translation skills and cross-cultural communication skills, and the translation results must be accurate, fluent, fluent and in line with the original meaning.
