紡織專業(yè)英語的語言特點(diǎn)
借鑒李明（2004）對專業(yè)用途英語的語言特點(diǎn)分析，筆者通過對《紡織專業(yè)英語》教材中的實(shí)例研究，總結(jié)了以下特點(diǎn)：
?。ㄒ唬?以“五多”強(qiáng)調(diào)意義客觀
由于紡織專業(yè)英語關(guān)注的大多是紡織行業(yè)的最新技術(shù)發(fā)展等，第三人稱代詞和名詞被廣泛地使用；此外，在結(jié)構(gòu)上多用復(fù)雜句，語態(tài)上多用被動語態(tài)；時態(tài)上多用一般現(xiàn)在時。
例如：Plain weave is the simplest of the three baxic weaves that can be made on a simple loom. It is formed by yarns at right angles passing alternately over and under each other. Each warp yarn interlaces with each filling yarn to form the maximun number of interpacing.
?。ǘ?以“術(shù)語”體現(xiàn)語言精練
紡織英語語言的精煉性特點(diǎn)主要體現(xiàn)在大量使用非限定性動詞、天津翻譯公司專業(yè)術(shù)語、半專業(yè)術(shù)語和縮略詞等，目的是為了簡化表述形式，盡量減少錯誤。
例如：In 1969，the Federal Trade Commission began hearings on the need for the establishment of a trade regulation rule pertaining to the care labeling of textile products. The final rule was promulgated in December 1971 with an effective date of July 3, 1972. Substantial changes were made in 1983, and the amended regulation was called as 16 CFR 423, Care Labeling of Textile Wearing Apparel and Certain Piece Goods; it became effective on July 4, 1984.
?。ㄈ?以“一詞一義”體現(xiàn)描述準(zhǔn)確
為了避免語義混淆，紡織英語中常常使用固定詞組與搭配，以實(shí)現(xiàn)準(zhǔn)確無誤地描述事物的目的，體現(xiàn)準(zhǔn)確性。
例如：Viscose rayon has three major types. They are regular rayon, high-tenacity rayon, and high-wet-modulus rayon. High-tenacity rayon is produced by applying additional stretch during drawing (in hot aqueous acid). The purpose of stretch is to increase the degree of alignment of cellulose molecules along the fiber axis, and in addition, cause an increases in the porportion of ‘skin to core’.
紡織英語翻譯策略
為使譯文達(dá)到“信、達(dá)、雅”的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，提升紡織專業(yè)英語的翻譯質(zhì)量，可以采用合理引申詞義、適當(dāng)增減詞、詞類轉(zhuǎn)換及詞序處理等翻譯技巧。
（一）引伸譯法
當(dāng)某個詞匯若按詞典的釋義直譯會產(chǎn)生不符合漢語語言規(guī)范或修辭習(xí)慣或現(xiàn)象時，可使用引伸譯法，在不脫離該英語詞匯本義的前提下，選擇符合漢語語言特點(diǎn)和規(guī)范的詞進(jìn)行翻譯。
例如：The porportions of short and immature fibers in a cotton are a major factor in determining its quality and are a source of nuisance during processing.
譯文：棉纖維中短纖維和未成熟纖維的比例是確定纖維品質(zhì)的主要因素，也是加工過程中纖維損傷的原因。
