Chapter Three Case Analysis
3.1 Translation at Lexical Level
When we translate a book, a text, a paragraph or even a sentence, we usuallystart it from a word, which is the fundamental component of a sentence and theminimum unit of a text, the translation of words is an important part of the wholetranslation (Hu zhuanglin 1994).
According to Newmark’s communicative translation theory, lexical meaningstarts where grammatical meaning finishes, it is referential and precise, and has to beconsidered both outside and within the context (Newmark 2001: 26). In this part, afterconsidering the lexical meaning within the context, the translator found that somenecessary words must be added and some abundant words need to be omitted.
3.1.1 Addition
Addition is a skill commonly used in translation practice. The use of additionalways has its standard, such as we must know whether it is necessary to use addition(Zhong Shuneng, 2010: 22). Adding the unnecessary words or sentences will causethe change or abundance of the text meaning. On the contrary, without adding thenecessary words or sentence will cause obscurity or incomplete to the text meaning.
Example 1:
ST: They were taking stock of interdepartmental collaboration, including theUnited States and India dynamic.
TT:他们评估了各部门的合作，包括美国站点和印度站点之间的合作。（P 1）
Analysis: In this example, the sentence “They were taking stock ofinterdepartmental collaboration, including the United States and India dynamic.” hasan omission in its second part, the whole sentence without omission should be “They were taking stock of interdepartmental collaboration, including the collaborationbetween United States and India dynamic.” The United States and India dynamic.The reason why the omission happened here is because English always try its best toavoid repetition, but repetition is one of the necessary ways that Chinese clarify itsmeaning. (Chen Dezhang 2007) Therefore, under the guidance of communicativetranslation theory, the translator choose to use the translation skills of addition andtranslate the source text as “他们评估了各部门的合作，包括美国站点和印度站点之间的合作。”
