英汉两种语言都有一词多类、一词多义的现象。因此,在翻译过程中,选择正确恰当的词义非常重要。笔者通过翻译蒙娜·贝克的著作《换言之:翻译研究教程》,从功能对等理论视角探讨了翻译技巧——词义的选择在翻译实践中的应用。 English and Chinese both have a word multi-type, the word polysemy phenomenon. Therefore, in the process of translation, it is very important to choose the right and proper meaning. By translating Mona Baker’s book In Different Words: A Course in Translation Studies, the author explores translation skills from the perspective of functional equivalence theory - the application of word meaning in translation practice.
