文献阅读与翻译

Hello,everyone .

I am fuxiaoling ,my partners are zhouzan ,huangsuyu ,and huangyanglu.

Today we will show you three key parts of the unit one ,they are literature reading ,translation and practice.

Now,let us focus on the first part-------literature reading.

at the beginning,we should make the definition of literature clear.

There seems no substantial difference among its definitions indifferent dictionaries.

From the above interpretations, we can arrive at an identical definition of literature: a general term for professional writings in the form of books, papers, and other documentations.

The word literature used in this textbook does not mean “文学”, but “文献” or “文献资料”, specifically referring to various documentations in the field of international industrial business and academic exchanges.

Since literature is the general term for printd materials, it should be further classified according to what a specific documentary work is

.therefore, we can group literature into six categories :

1) Textbooks(教科书)：In general, a textbook is a kind of professional writing specially designed for the students in a given branch of learning.

2) Monographs(专著)：A monograph is an artide or short book on one particular subject or branch of a subject that the writer has studied deeply.

3) Papers(论文)：A complete paper is usually composed of the following elements: title, author, affiliation, abstract, keywords, introduction, theoretical analysis and/or experimental description, results and discussion or conclusion, acknowledgments, references, etc.

4) Encyclopedias(百科全书)：An encyclopedia is a book or set of books dealing with every branch of knowledge,or with one particular branch, in alphabetical order.

5) Periodicals(期刊)：A periodical is a series of publications that appear at regular intervals.

6) Special Documentation(特别文件)：Special documentation refers to all the printed materials that are non-books or non-periodicals.

Let us continue the next context

Linguistic Features of Scientific Literature

1)Stylistically(在文体上), literature is a kind of formal writing.

Compared with an informal writing which usually utilizes an informal tone and colloquial language, a formal writing is a more serious approach to a subject of great importance and it avoids all colloquial expressions.

2) Syntactically(在语句构成上), scientific literature has rigorous grammatical structures, and in most cases is rather unitary.

3) Morphologically(在词法上), scientific literature is featured by high specialization, the use of technical terms and jargons, unambiguous implication and the fixed sense of the word.

There are more compound words, Latin and Greek words, contracted words, noun clusters and so on in scientific literature than in other informational writing.

4) Besides, non-verbal language is also very popular in various literatures such as signs, formulas, charts, tables, photos, etc.
