Abstract

Manifest is a special phenomenon in the translation, but also in recent years, many scholars in Translation Studies from a topic of concern. Manifest involved in language acquisition, language differences, cognitive psychology, translator style language-related factors in many ways. Many scholars over the years starting from the point of view of theoretical analysis and empirical research devoted to proving the universality of its existence, or to analyze the reasons for its existence, for many years research has made great progress. With the growing rise of descriptive translation studies paradigm and the rapid development of the information technology, corpus linguistics is applied to the study of translation, prosperity and promote the translation of empirical research. Significant research corpus-based translation retrieval software to extract some linguistic units, statistics on the frequency and ratio in the source language and the target language in this comparative analysis to outline and explain the translated text relative to the source language of the dominant characteristics. In view of the significant research in the past mostly concerned about the professional translator translate text the first based on the structural differences of English and Chinese language, the causal relationship of students in English-Chinese, Chinese-English translation made a significant trend assumptions, and then by means of the Beijing Foreign Studies University chaired by Professor Wen Qiufang construction of Chinese college students, English-Chinese Chinese-English translation and interpretation corpus translation corpus (PACCEL-W), to its own Paraconc retrieval software in Chinese to English and English to Chinese translation direction of literary texts and non-literary Causal Connectives in text retrieval statistics interlingual and intralingual contrast two perspectives validated assumptions made manifest characteristics and trends. Interlingual correspondence analysis showed that in both directions of the English-Chinese and Chinese-English literary texts and non-literary texts the dominant causal conjunctions number after translated and frequency have a more substantial increase text genres and translation directions two variables characteristics and trends were not reflected in the Causal Connectives translation significantly, showing a significant impact; intralingual comparison analysis shows that led to the translation of English and Chinese literary text and translation of the English literary texts dominant causal conjunction ratio significantly increased in the text, while the Chinese translation of non-literary texts lead to a dominant causal conjunctions decline in the ratio of text. The dominant causal conjunctions fall in the ratio of Chinese non-literary text translation is more obvious manifestation by other linguistic units led to the increase in the total number of words of the text, translated text in English and Chinese language the relative source language of this in terms of causal connection have increased the degree of dominance of the word. Manifestation reflected in the text on the comparative analysis is to translate the text relative to the source language increased the degree of dominance. The language level of formality or shaped heterozygosity differences were in a translation direction default implicit in the opposite direction, this difference does not explain the phenomenon embodied in both directions on the common manifestation of this study based on the corpus for the dominant causal conjunctions investigation also confirmed this. The translator's language level, style tendency to a certain extent, determine the choice of translation; translation itself is a kind of cognitive, interpretive and review activities. This paper argues that the translator Factors and the translation process is the main reason for this common manifestation.
