Tiểu luận môn Lý thyết dịch ngành Ngôn ngữ Anh trường Đại học Mở Hà Nội Translation is an activity of enormous importance in the modern world and it is a subject of interest not only to linguists, professional and amateur translators, and language teachers but also to electronic engineers and mathematicians. Translation Studies is a field of study that deals with the theory, description, and application of translation. This is because it examines translation both as an interlingual transfer and as intercultural communication. Courses in Translation Studies are a great way for linguists, language graduates, and translators to develop a deep understanding of the academic field, and the skills to practice as a translation professional. The study and practice of translations are, however, quite difficult for me in the past. After attending translation studies at university, I gained a variety of deed knowledge such as history, definition, and different perspectives on translation. Researchers’ translation theory was not achieved overnight, rather, it has gone through decades of unceasing practice and exploration, and has been developed through continuous revision and improvement. In Nida’s book, The Theory and Practice of Translation, he defined translation as “Translating consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style.” Wills defines translation more or less similar as follows: Translation is a transfer process which aims at the transformation of a written source language text into an optimally equivalent targetlanguage text, and which requires the syntactic, the semantic and the pragmatic understanding and analytical processing of the source language (Wills in Noss, 1982: 3). In addition, the concept of context has been extensively studied by different linguists from different perspectives, such as pragmatics and systemicfunctional linguistics. Among them, Halliday or Hymes’s approach shows clear advantages in translation study with its emphasis on language function, and therefore will be employed in the analysis of the paper.

of context and then translate them Especially, I want to draw more experience for me in the translation process to gain better skills PART II: DEVELOPMENT ENGLISH ARTICLE 1.1 Analyse the context of

adults are obese and predicts that the annual cost of treating the condition will reach £9.7 billion by 2050 Making towns and cities safer and more convenient to walk in could be a costeffective way to tackle these dual epidemics Booth says the study shows there is a role for prevention as well as treatment with these conditions, and that “unchecked urban sprawl” that leaves people reliant on cars is part of the problem that needs to be tackled She believes the solution is a package of measures including higher-density living with shops and services within walking distance, more bike and footpaths and better public transport “People will be more active if they can, if they have more of that infrastructure close by them,” she says “There’s consistent evidence that if you have those options available, you will be more likely to be physically active.” “Even if we’re actually really good at managing diabetes, if you have a surge of cases because so many more people are getting the disease, we can only so much at the clinical end,” tế Quốc gia ước tính phần tư người trưởng thành Anh bị béo phì dự đốn chi phí hàng năm để điều trị loại bệnh lên tới 9,7 tỷ bảng Anh vào năm 2050

an academic program that introduces people to the theory and practice of translation I actually gained a variety of deed knowledge such as history, definition, and different perspectives on translation after attending translation studies at university Furthermore, analyzing the source text before translating is very vital for me It helps me understand the content of source texts deeply and convey the message of the author to the reader easily However, several problems and challenges of translation that I have to face are structural variations between languages, cultural differences, and so on I sometimes translate word-byword making the sentence obscure, silly, and irreplaceable As a result, translators need to grasp the different types of translation firmly and find more information about cultural nations in order to have a perfect target text REFERENCE Links: English article:
