Introduction
❖ The features of EST ❖ I. Complicated long sentences ❖ Generally, EST is required to state accurately
and reason strictly, therefore, it is common that there exist 3 or 4 even 5 or 6 clauses in a long sentence. When translating into Chinese, one has to separate the sentence into corresponding number of clauses so as to state clearly and avoid “Chinese English”.
❖ Non-finite verbs consist of gerund, participle (present and past) and infinitive.
❖ e.g. 1. 要成为一个名符其实的内行，需要学到老。
❖ To be a true professional requires lifelong learning.
