说明书翻译的方法有什么？

　　现在很多产品都是有说明书的，我们说明书的讲解下才能更好地使用产品，而一些国际产品的说明书是需要进行翻译的，下面中译翻译公司给大家分享说明书翻译的方法有什么?

　　Now many products have instructions. We can use the product better only when we explain the instructions. Some international product instructions need to be translated. What's the way to share the instructions with you?

　　1、说明书的文体特征与翻译目标从遣词造句方面来看，说明书频繁使用祈使句、无人称句，十分讲究逻辑性。从语气上看，说明书的语气通常较为正式，用语严谨规范、客观公允。从修辞角度来说，说明书文风一般比较质朴，避免铺叙婉曲，特别是很少使用不必要的修辞格。鉴于说明书的语言特点和翻译目标，我们以为好的说明书译文不仅要准确、客观，还必须保证能为译语读者所接受并激发他们的购买行为。

　　1. The stylistic features and translation objectives of the manual from the perspective of word selection and sentence making, the manual frequently uses imperative sentences and unattended sentences, which are very logical. From the perspective of tone, the tone of the instruction manual is usually formal, with strict and standard language, objective and fair. From the rhetorical point of view, the style of the manual is generally simple, avoiding the elaboration of euphemism, especially rarely using unnecessary figures of speech. In view of the language characteristics and translation objectives of the specification, we believe that a good translation of the specification should not only be accurate and objective, but also be acceptable to the target readers and stimulate their purchase behavior.

　　2、“忠实、准确”原则说明书是沟通厂家与消费者的桥梁和纽带。企业若想在激烈的国际竞争中站稳脚跟，将产品成功地打入国际市场，译文必须准确、真实。倘若译文“失真”或错误百出，不仅会给消费者留下极坏的印象，而且会直接影响到产品的形象与销售。更为严重的是，那些劣质的译文还可能影响到正常的生产秩序，甚至危及消费者的生命与财产安全。要做到译文“忠实”、“准确”，首先要在遣词造句方面加以注意。说明书的语言一般大都简洁浅显、明白晓畅，译者在处理其中的语词时并无多大困难。不过，这并不意味着说明书的翻译就高枕无忧。

　　2. "Faithfulness and accuracy" principle specification is the bridge and link between manufacturers and consumers. If an enterprise wants to stand firm in the fierce international competition and successfully enter the international market, the translation must be accurate and authentic. If the translation is "distorted" or full of errors, it will not only leave a bad impression on consumers, but also directly affect the image and sales of products. What's more, those poor translations may also affect the normal production order and even endanger the safety of consumers' lives and property. In order to be faithful and accurate, we should pay attention to the choice of words and sentences. Generally speaking, the language of the instructions is simple, clear and clear, and the translator does not have much difficulty in dealing with the words in them. However, this does not mean that the translation of the instructions is safe.

　　3、“可读性”原则，产品说明书有时肩负着比广告更重要的使命，说明书离消费者更近，其表述对消费者购买产品与否会有更为直接地影响。译者在翻译前，必须首先对说明书原文中所包含的信息进行分析，尤其是要剖析各类信息的可传达度和读者可能的接受反应情况，然后再采取相应的翻译方法和策略，以确保译文的可读性。

　　3. "Readability" principle: sometimes the product manual shoulders a more important mission than the advertisement, and it is closer to the consumer. Its expression will have a more direct impact on whether the consumer buys the product or not. Before translation, the translator must first analyze the information contained in the original text of the specification, especially the communicability of all kinds of information and the possible reception and response of the readers, and then take corresponding translation methods and strategies to ensure the readability of the translation.
