Abstract

By use of the small self-built corpus and the use of corpus research methods, this study analyzes the linguistic features of the translation of Watson's classics from three aspects: vocabulary, syntax and textual cohesion. Through the specific language phenomena, it is concluded that the language of the translation of Watson's classics is concise and easy to understand. The language used is graceful and fluent, so it is more readable.
