Abstract

In the translation of science and technology English, the theoretical connotation of functional equivalence is to transform the source language into the target language through translation. The science and technology English is a kind of professional English style, which contains a lot of technical and professional vocabulary. It is difficult to grasp the technical and professional vocabulary, and it needs to accurately describe the objective laws. The translator should apply it according to specific circumstances. Technology English language is accurate and concise, objective and rigorous. It is also with strong logic and professionalism, which also put forward higher demands on the translator. It is not only beneficial to the effective transmission and exchange of scientific and technological information, but also to help the translation of science and technology English better to serve the development and progress of science and technology.
