Abstract

With the rapid development of the global economy, Medical English is being used by more and more people in clinical, research, teaching and medical services, as international medical and health cooperation is increasingly strengthened. In order to promote the development of medical research in China and narrow the gap between China and developed countries, researchers and clinicians often need to refer to a large number of Medical English Research Paper in their work. These English papers need to be translated into Chinese for reference. Medical English translation is becoming more and more important. Nowadays, there are many difficulties in the process of the vigorous development of China’s medical and health services, including many difficulties in translating English medical works and papers. From the perspective of linguistics and according to the nature of translation, Nida puts forward the famous theory of functional equivalence, which aims to make the conversion between source language and target language normative and reduce differences. Therefore, in the process of medical English translation, in addition to the necessary language foundation and medical professional knowledge, profound translation theory foundation and solid translation skills can also make the translator’s translation accurate in content and standardized in language expression. Guided by the definition of functional equivalence, the core concept of Nida’s theory, this paper studies the functional equivalence of words, sentences, texts and styles in Medical English Research Paper translation from the perspective of functional teleology.
