For this course, the teaching materials have to be selected from the existing materials to fit the purpose. After the 17-week instruction, the students＇ translation and mastery of the basic knowledge are measured. The results suggest that the students can learn both English and knowledge from ESP course.展开更多

The prevalent use of nominalization enhances the objectivity and rigor of the text by reducing reliance on subject-predicate structures, thereby achieving greater conciseness, objectivity, and precision. This paper will explore the nominalization strategies in the English translation of scientific and technical texts at both the lexical and the syntactic levels.展开更多
