A Case Study of EST Complex Sentence Translation via "Sentence Pattern Contrastive Translation Method"
Abstract
EST (English for Science and Technology) began as a course in the 1970s. Because EST has qualities in specific content and usage, some language, vocabulary, and grammatical characteristics of EST were established as technology advanced. In EST, complex statements are typically employed to explain the complex objective reality. This thesis builds on the "Sentence Pattern Contrastive Translation Method" by conducting an investigation of EST features and complicated sentence translation tactics in EST. The idea of "Sentence Pattern Contrastive Translation Approach (SPCTM)" is utilized to interpret, discuss, and evaluate representative samples of EST complex sentences in this thesis. The author believes that SPCTM is an effective and efficient method employed in EST translation.
