Introduction
Throughout the world, there are many books about translation techniques, all of
which have their own demonstrations and explanations. However, as English learners, it is very difficult to understand or get a clear idea about the translation techniques, not speaking of proper use in practice. Translation is a creative language action, and it is an art. The core in translation is to express the original text mood exactly and completely is the core in translation. On the prerequisite of faithfulness and smoothness, it is needed to shake off the yoke of the language translated into, and make the version accord with the language translated into more idiomatically. To understand and express the original meaning correctly, it is necessary to master some translation techniques. In this thesis, the author makes a careful analysis of some types of translation techniques, basing on the great numbers of examples in reference books. What’s more, the author makes an emphasis on the two most important and popular translation techniques: Amplification and Omission.
