Chinese-English Translation Techniques & Examples

1. Word Order Adjusting for Chinese-English Translation

When speaking or making a sentence, people of English speaking countries are thinking differently from people of Chinese speaking countries. For example, the former often use abstract stuff (such as "it") as a sentence object to emphasis the objectivity. However, Chinese are likely to adopt a concrete thing (such as a person) as the object to describe action or status. Under that situation, the Chinese-English translator shall adjust the word order to relay the nuances correctly. The Chinese translation skill of order adjustment can be applied to:
  • Position of Object or Subject
  • Position of Adverbial Clause
  • Position of Attributive Clause
  • Position of Full Sentences

2. Word Adding for Chinese-English Translation

Sometimes we need to add words or expressions to a sentence when translating between Chinese and English. Because of distinct background culture and expressive manner, one has to apply word adding to his or her translation for:
  • Grammatical integrity. There are many grammatical differences in articles, pronouns, and prepositions between Chinese and English. Translators shall add these elements in the target language when they are omitted in the source text.
  • Accurateness of Meaning. Adding words for a bright and natural representation of original meaning is essential for Chinese-English translation.
  • Completeness of Cultural Expression. Sometimes translator is responsible for adding additional remarks inside the sentence to help audiences understand the cultural essence of origin text.

  • Omitting of Objects
  • Omitting of Pronouns
  • Omitting of Conjunctions
  • Omitting of Tense, Numbers, or Articles
  • Omitting of Redundant Component

4. Part of Speech Converting for Chinese-English Translation

Apart from adding or omitting components from the original sentences, the Chinese-English translator sometimes converts the part of speech of a word to maintain the nuances. As a direct or literal translation may not correctly relay the meaning of the original text, it's recommended to apply the conversion skill for:
  • Nouns
  • Verbs
  • Adjectives
  • Adverbs
Any of the above components can be converted into at least two types of part of speeches, which significantly reflects the flexibility and complexity inside the grammar system.
