ABSTRACT

In recent years, science and technology has developed rapidly in China, and in the process of independent research, it is necessary to continuously absorb foreign advanced technology. Therefore, the research of scientific and technological English has attracted more and more attention. As a kind of applied "information text", English for science and technology has the characteristics of high degree of professionalism, formal language, objective and concise description, and relatively complex sentence structure and strong logic. The problem of cohesion not only makes the translation fluent and clear, but also can accurately restore the internal logical connection in the original text. The main purpose of this paper is to study translation strategies related to English for Science and Technology. The relevant principles and methods of translation strategies are proposed to help research and improve translation strategies. Experiments show that words that are not in the thesaurus account for 19.51%, and there are 2794 words, which leads to an increase in the difficulty of translation.
