Xiaohui Wang , Guorong Shen

Abstract

In recent years, the voice of growing military strength has become louder and louder. “Juvenile strong China strong”. As college students, we should also pay attention to national military security and take this thought on the agenda. With the continuous development of science and technology, countries all over the world are trying to find military innovation in order to enhance military power. This report selects an academic paper published by Kendrick Kuo as the translated material to analyze the infl uence of military innovation in the military dimension. This report takes Eugene Nida’s Functional Equivalence Theory as guidance. It explores the specific application of these theories in translation practice, and analyzes the key points and difficulties in translation practice.
This report includes four parts: the first part is the introduction of background, which mainly summarizes the relevant background of the selected translation, textual features and the author’s research purpose. The second part introduces the preparation before translation, including analyzing the source text, preparing translation tools and making translation plans. The third part introduces Functional Equivalence Theory in detail from lexical, syntactic and textual levels. The last part is the summary, which summarizes the translator’s experience and lessons through this practice.
