中英学术翻译指南 - 从中文草稿到英文论文
Overview / 概述
本指南帮助将中文学术草稿翻译为符合国际期刊/会议标准的英文论文。 核心原则：准确性 > 流畅性 > 简洁性
1. Translation Principles / 翻译原则
1.1 Core Principles / 核心原则
| 原则 | 说明 | 示例 |
|---|---|---|
| 准确性 | 技术术语必须准确，不可意译 | 卷积 → convolution (非 rolling) |
| 一致性 | 同一术语全文统一 | 不要混用 method/approach/technique |
| 简洁性 | 避免冗余表达 | ❌ in order to → ✅ to |
| 客观性 | 避免主观评价词 | ❌ very good → ✅ effective |
1.2 Academic Tone / 学术语气
❌ 避免:
- 口语化表达 (a lot of, kind of, stuff)
- 绝对化表述 (always, never, perfect)
- 情感化词汇 (amazing, terrible, exciting)
✅ 使用:
- 正式学术词汇 (significant, substantial, considerable)
- 谨慎限定词 (generally, typically, approximately)
- 客观描述 (effective, efficient, accurate)2. Common Chinglish Corrections / 常见中式英语修正
