Description
This course seeks to improve students' language skills and deepen their ability to communicate meanings in written texts between the two languages and two cultures. Students translate original scripts drawn from various genres of literature, including scientific materials and documents. Basic approaches include guided class discussion, a minimum of lecture time and a maximum of translation practice time. This course is an introduction to the principles and techniques of translation, but requires proficiency in the Chinese and English languages.
