Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: In today’s society, artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, and it is widely used in some biomedical fields such as disease diagnosis, drug research and so on. Through efficient data processing and intelligent algorithms, it improves diagnostic accuracy, promotes the innovation and progress of biomedicine, and has important scientific significance. This report is excerpted from Future of AI in Biomedicine and Biotechnology. Through analyzing this translation material, the translator found that the text contains a large number of professional terms and complex sentences. Therefore, the translator chose Newmark’s Communicative Translation Theory as the guiding theory, striving to accurately convey the information to the greatest extent and realize the communicative function of the text. In the translation practice, the translator analyzed feasible translation techniques from the three levels of vocabulary, syntax and text according to the Communicative Translation Theory. Through this translation practice, the translator found that the Communicative Translation Theory is of great guiding significance for the translation of scientific and technological texts, and hoped that through this practice, the translation quality of such type of texts can be continuously improved, and the cultural exchange and dissemination between different regions can be realized with more smooth, clear and understandable translations.
