Abstract:
The failure of existing principles of translation applied to Chinese - English translation of medical paper abstracts has directly affected the exchange and popularity of the author's academic achievements by impressing readers with numerous mistakes and low quality. This thesis, by analyses of more examples of medical paper abstracts, again puts forward the three principles of translation, namely-faithfulness, conciseness and consistency, and further emphasizes the variation of translation principles resulted from stylistic features of medical English.
