Abstract

Guided by Nida’s Functional Equivalence Theory and taking English for science and technology of refrigeration system as the research object, the paper analyzes scientific and technological terminologies and puts forward four translation strategies for Chinese translation of terms: literal translation, free translation and the combination of literal translation and free translation, so as to realize the functional equivalence between the original text and the translation version to the greatest extent, so that the target readers can deeply understand the ideological content of the original text as well as the original readers.
