Abstract


This translation report discusses the problems encountered when translating Chapter2"Concrete" of British Specification of Constructional Engineering.With Vermeer’s Skopostheorie as the theoretical foundation, the author seeks ways to improve the quality of engineering specification translation.Engineering specification usually uses formal expressions with strong logical relations. The content of engineering specification is related to an area of expertise and have many technical terms. Thus the translator needs to fully understand the original text and deliver the information effectively to receptors of the translated text.In Vermeer’s Scopostheorie, the original text is just the source of information. What matters the most to translation is the purpose of translation and the receptor of the translated text. He comes up with three rules for translation:the skopos rule, the coherence rule and the fidelity rule. Skopostheorie applys to non-literary translation, and provides valuable guidance for engineering specifications translation. Therefore, this report analyses translation problems based on Vermeer’s three rules.Part I of this report introduces the British Specification of Constructional Engineering; Part II is the theoretical framework, which explores characteristics of engineering specification translation, gives details about Skopostheorie, and points out its instructive significance to engineering specifications translation; Part III illustrates the problems encountered in this translation project and specifically works on translation of commonly-used words and jargons, clarifying logical relations and stressing key points to enhance the quality of engineering specification translation based on Vermeer’s three rules.
