As a branch of professional English, Translation For Automotive Engineering has its own features and methods of translation. Even though its definition is not as clear as some
7、 professional English like Business English. It also has its own grammatical style and structure. But Translation For Automotive Engineering has its own status in professional English. For translating it correctly and smoothly, its necessary to analysis Translation For Automotive Engineerings featur

What we should care about during our translation? You may find answers in content below this paragraph.1 Features of Original about Translation For Aut

Sometimes, only charts can fully explain hundreds of different parts installed on a auto. Just like the article about cars engi
10、ne or something complication; instead long, complex describe, a CAD might appear on the pProfessional English for Automotive Engineeringr. And some professional charts like Analysis, UG and PROE charts can be seen usually. Youd best know something about such programs in order to avoid misunderstand
11、writers meaning and expression. Example 1:Just look at this example. A cars parts have been marked. Its engine, power train, steering system showed in the chart so that we can understand the structure of vehicle clearly than just by words.1.2 Application of proper nounsAll kinds of professional Engl
12、ish have this feature: many proper nouns, which meaning you cant understand it so much if you hardly spend your time on words memorizing. For example,when we talk about gallery in Translation For Automotive Engineering, it means the general oil pipe rather than an exhibition. Besides, Translation Fo
13、r Automotive Engineering has many abbreviation like EPU,ABS,ESP and so on. Youd better know the full words of such abbreviation in case wrong translation. （but in almost period you can use abbreviation straightly in your translation.）Example 2:The front and rear wheels are attached to the chassis by
14、 a suspension system. This system is made up of springs, shock absorbers, control arms, and stabilizers. These support the vehicle and cushion it from road bumps for better ride and handling.Translated version:前后轮通过悬架系统和底盘相连。悬架系统由弹簧、减振器、控制臂和横向稳定杆组成。它们支撑着车身，并减缓由于路面不平引起的颠簸，以获得更好的乘坐舒适性和操作稳定性。In this ex
15、ample. We can see many proper nouns are used in the paragraph. Like springs, shock absorbers, control arms, stabilizers which are common parts in a vehicle. Such proper nouns are frequently appear in the Profession Automotive English, Which as the second major feature of PAE.1.3 Use noun phrases Few
16、 rhetoric or even exclamation and Doubt sentences; lots of long, boring, passive simple sentences is a conspicuous feature of Translation For Automotive Engineering. On the one hand, it makes expression clearly and certainly. On the other hand, long, boring, difficult sentence used to appeared.Examp

To get rid of the exhaust gases.排放系统要实现四个功能：1、收集发动机的废气。2、去除污染空气的排放物。3、减少排放噪音。4、排出废气。In the example 3. “to do” pattern has be used ver
18、y frequently. For introduce the function of exhaust system simply and orderly, the whole paragraph is consisted by “to do” except its first sentence. Such phenomenons are not rare in the PAE. To be honest, most sentences in the PAE which refer to explain somethings function or list somethings advant
19、ages or disadvantages are in this formation. And this formation become the third feature of Translation For Automotive Engineering.2 Translation Techniques of words in English for Automotive Engineering2.1 OmissionIts necessary to delete some words or phrases to express the meaning of original more
20、currently. This methods first two situation are used to be seen in the translation from English into Chinese. And the third situation can be seen both Chinese into English and English into Chinese.Firstly, Its common to delete subject in passive sentences.sometimes, the originals subject need not to
21、 show in Chinese translation. It can provide nothing but complex and uncomfortable feeling in translation for Automotive English.Example 4:As the steering wheel is turned, its motion is transferred to the idler arm and tie rods.当转动方向盘，运动被传递到随动臂和横拉杆，从而使得前轮向左或向右转动。In this example. The English original
22、 has been translated in Chinese. And we can see the “its” which means the steering wheel has been delete as the subject to make the structure integrity.Then, Its common to delete possessive pronouns in sentences which have belongingness in translation for Automotive English. In Chinese this parts al
23、ways have same meanings and make readers uncomfortable.Example 5:The brake system gives the automobile its stopping power.制动系统给车辆提供制动的动力。In this example, we can also see the “its”. But it means the car this time. And its not be delete as the subject but possessive pronoun which makes structure compa
24、ct. In translation for Automotive English, Another common situation is deleting explanations. In English, its the explanation. But in Chinese, it do nothing but make sentence more complex.Example 6:The three important parts of the chassis are the frame, the engine, and the power train （also called t
25、he drive train）. 底盘有三个重要的系统：车架、发动机和传动系统。In this example. A short sentence has be added at the end of translation with brackets. Words “the power train” fit the original more currently, and “the drive train” is used more frequently in the professional English. So the translator delete this explanatio
26、n to make sentence more clearly and simple.2.2 AmplificationWhen Omission is frequently used in translation from English into Chinese. Its not strange to see Amplification is frequently used in translation from Chinese to English. And its really unnecessary to list the situations or provide more exa
27、mples because all situations and examples about Omission before can be used as situations and examples of Amplification by inverting it. 2.3 TransformationWhen we translate professional English, There would be some words that we cant translate it property in Chinese by its origin meaning. So, we wil
28、l transform the originals expression, structure and tense. Like changing verbs to nouns, changing predicate to subject, changing complex sentence to compound sentence or changing adverbial clause to attributive clause and so on. Its the most common method of translation and almost all translations h
29、ave used it much or rarely. Here are two most frequently transform situations appear in the Professional English for Automotive Engineering.First, transform verbs into nouns. Some words in English are nouns but in Chinese they are verbs or they have a verbs meaning. In professional English such examples are usual to be seen.Example 7:The body is the enclosure that houses the engine, passengers, and cargo. 车身 包围 发动机、乘客和行李。In this example. The “enclosure” in the original is a noun. But it was transformed to a verb which makes translation more simple and intelligible
