A Study on C-E Translation of Nominalization in News Discourse from Grammatical Metaphor Perspective
Nominalization, as the main means of reaching grammatical metaphor, is one of the distinctive features of written corpora and plays an important role in the discourse construction of news discourse.Based on the theory of grammatical metaphor, this article discusses the phenomenon of nominalization and its translation strategies in news discourse by analyzing translation examples.It is found that nominalization structure can effectively enhance the informativeness and objectivity of news discourse.When translating from Chinese to English, the translator should take into full consideration of the different characteristics of the two languages, and convert the predicates, subject-predicate structures, verb-object structures and clauses into nominalization structures.Through this translation strategy, the translation will be more in line with the English language characteristics and usage habits, and can accurately convey the information of the original text, finally realizing the effective translation of the language.
