翻译第2讲

第2讲 Handling vocabulary Introduction In this chapter we look at the importance of vocabulary in translation. This involves more knowledge and skills than many learners think. We should keep in mind the meaning, pronunciation, spelling, and grammar of new words, not least the use in communication. In translation, vocabulary is often more important than grammar.

Polysemy includes the following four aspects: 1 ambiguity of Proper Noun 2 ambiguity of common word 3 ambiguity of c
