On Translation Methods of Long Sentences in English for Science and Technology
Abstract
During international scientific and technological exchanges, it is of great significance and necessity to
understand the scientific and technological texts accurately. Long sentence structure is widely used in scientific and
technological texts, which reflects accuracy, preciseness and logicality. Therefore, long sentence translation is an
unavoidable focus in English for Science and Technology (EST) translation. This paper analyzes the characteristics of long
sentences in EST, and then focuses on specific English-Chinese translation methods of long sentences, aiming at
smoothing the understanding and translation of long sentences in scientific and technological English texts, and facilitating
the exchange of scientific and technological achievements and development between China and foreign countries.
