Abstract

As a key translation theory, translation aesthetics plays a predominant role in translations of different fields, especially in literary translation where it works best. With its extensive implementations, translation aesthetics has been applied widely in humanities, sociology, and gradually in EST (English for science and technology). While previous studies have considerably concentrated on applications of translation aesthetics in many other branches of EST, this paper will be fixed on “petroleum”, that is, oil and natural gas industry, which covers aesthetic presentation in oil and natural gas EST translation from three main perspectives, i.e. the beauty of logic, the beauty of format and the beauty of content, amongst which, the beauty of logic is embodied in accuracy and standardization, the beauty of form lies in simplicity and smoothness, and the beauty of content presents in rhetoric and transferred meaning. Each of aesthetic presentation is given an appropriate example and detailed analysis. At last, some conclusions are drawn, with prospections presented.
