A Contrastive Study of Word Order in Chinese and English and its Implications for Neutral Network Machine Translation

This study presents an contrastive examination of word order variations in Chinese and English, with a specific focus on their syntactic distinctions that influence machine translation outcomes. By meticulously analyzing word formation, phrase, clause, and sentence, the research contributes valuable insights aimed at enhancing translation accuracy. For such a micro-level contrast, two distinct translation approaches, namely sequential translation and conversion translation, are delineated. Regarding machine translation implications, a proposed flow chart emphasizes the importance of fluency and aesthetic qualities, incorporating a contrastive word order corpus and a comprehensive Chinese-English database. Additionally, ethical considerations are integrated into the flow chart to ensure the overall quality of the translated text.
