Abstract

With the enhancement of China's innovation ability and the internationalization of science and technology research, the C-E translation of abstracts of scientific papers is facing more and more challenges. As an important medium for globalization of scientific and technological innovation, abstracts of scientific papers should conform to habits of native English speakers. However, limited by English proficiency of writers, there is always rigid literal translation in the process of translation, leading to redundancy of the mother tongue migration mechanism. Based on the classification of migration redundancy and related research of the translation of scientific papers by Pinkhan, Research of Environmental Sciences was discussed and analyzed from the perspective of migration redundancy and then the author put forward the modified suggestion. The author also used COCA to judge whether the expression in the sentence is migration redundancy by the MI values obtained in the above cases. Further exploration of translation strategies was called on.
