Abstract

With the deepening of globalization, national economic and cultural exchanges have become increasingly frequent translation status is also rising. The high-quality translation works to promote the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of technology, to strengthen economic and cultural exchanges between countries. However, a large number of low-quality translations also become obstacles to economic and cultural exchanges. In some cases, the translation cavity is an important reason for the poor quality of the translation. Affect the quality of the translation, and impede the ideological, cultural, scientific and technical exchange translation cavity is a negative translation cavity. This paper discusses the translation cavity problem are negativity. In order of discussion in this the negative translation cavity referred to \Translation cavities exist not only make exchanges between barrier to understanding, but will seriously impact the use of the target language norms, influence the development trend of the target language. Therefore, in the process of translation, the translator must avoid translation cavity to improve the quality of the translation. This article discusses the causes of translation cavity, seeking countermeasures, to eradicating translationese, to ensure smooth communication and the benign development of the target language. The text is divided into the following sections: The first part briefly describes the hazards, current research and this article aims to explore issues of translation cavity. Translation cavity will not only asked readers to understand obstacles, seriously affecting the quality of the translation, and translation cavity flooding also seriously affect the language specification of the target language, endangering its development. Part II presents the definition, characteristics and the impact of the translation cavity. The third part discusses the causes of translation cavity. By distinguishing between teaching translation and translation teaching, the paper argues that teaching translation machinery training will make the translator wrong syntax translation theory, translation machinery transplant grammatical features of the original, thus asked translationese caused phenomenon. Translator in case of lack of discourse awareness overlooked source language and target language differences Cohesion and Coherence copy Cohesion and Coherence characteristics of the original translation full translation cavity phenomenon can also cause. Finally, the two languages, English and Chinese the most fundamental difference is that English sentences group articles to Hypotaxis known, while Chinese heavy Parataxis the. If the translator ignore this difference, will inevitably to cause translation translationese phenomenon. Part IV Conclusion combined analysis of the causes of the translation cavity previously proposed a solution for the translation cavity. To avoid the translation appeared the translation chamber, the translator must first have a clear understanding of teaching translation and its impact. Secondly, the translator during translation have discourse awareness, not blindly copy Cohesion and coherence of the original features. Finally, the translator should be familiar with the differences of the two languages, English and Chinese sentences group articles, with particular attention to English hypotaxis, the Chinese heavy Parataxis this feature. In summary, to ensure smooth communication and the benign development of the target language, the translator necessary to eliminate the impact of translation cavity, thereby improving the quality of the translation to promote the sound development of the target language.
