五种通用方法助你提高笔译水平

    对于一些水平有待提高的译员来说,如何进一步提升自己的英语水平,译出符合本地化翻译要求的优秀译文,是一件相当头疼的事情。今天给大家带来美国蒙特雷国际研究生院(Monterey Institute of International Studies)给广大译员的学习建议。

  Read high quality newspapers (e.g. the New York Times, Wall Street Journal) EVERY DAY for at least a year.

  4.Live in a country where your non-native language is spoken.在通用语言是你所学外语的国家住上一段时间。

  Work in a setting that requires high level use of your non-native language.
  在对你的外语水平要求较高的环境里工作。
  5.Fine-tune your writing and research skills.提升你的写作和研究技能。
  Take challenging composition courses (not just creative writing courses, but classes in journalism, technical writing, etc.) so you can “speak” journalese, UNese, legalese, etc.
  参加有挑战性的写作课程(不仅仅是创意写作课,而是新闻写作、科技文章写作之类的课程),如此你方能熟悉“新闻体”、“联合国体”、“法律体”等等写作风格。
  Copy (by hand) sections of textbooks and periodicals in your non-native language(s).
