Abstract

This research paper is a study in China of the Chinese-English translation of geological articles, especially the reports of geological exploration projects, by exploring their theoretical basis. It also aims to suggest the adoption of the translational writing mode for better rendering of such articles. The author collected throughout the CNKI website and categorized relevant literature published in China’s core journals from 1954 to 2016, and summarized the content and theoretical application of such previous research. In addition, after studying Nord’s notion “function plus loyalty” and Yang’s “perception—through operation—expression—review” mode of translational writing, the author believes that they are good guides to both practice and academic research of Chinese-English geological translation. Translators should enhance their writing ability, with a strong awareness of being a writer to reach high translation quality.
