36 PART III: CONCLUSION. 39 APPENDIX 1: Choose the appropriate translation. 41 APPENDIX 2: Text translation. Rationale of the study The process of globalization dictates higher request to a level of knowledge of language skill.
Globalization of the shipping industry and application of modern technologies on broad vessels demand a high level of education and training. In the world of international shipping, with seafarers from different nations sailing on ships to all part of the world, language communication is vitally important between those on broad and between ship and shore. Historically, English has become the means for the communication at sea that is the reason why understanding English terms and its Vietnamese equivalent in maritime logistics is very essential in order to achieve the best results at sea communication. Living in a major port city of Vietnam and having my family working traditionally in the port have inspired me to carry out this research to further my knowledge in maritime logistics.
Aim of the study The study on translation of specialized maritime logistics terminology aims to figure out an overview on translation strategies and procedures to have an effective understanding and communication in maritime logistics. In details, my Graduation paper aims at: * Collecting and presenting English terms in maritime logistics profession. * Providing Vietnamese equivalents or expressions for its English terms in maritime logistics profession. * Preliminarily analyzing translation strategies and procedures employed in the translation of English terms into their Vietnamese corresponding.
* Providing some knowledge of maritime logistics profession to students majoring in the field. Scope of the study Maritime logistics terms are a huge professional field that requires a great amount of time and experiences to research. Due to limitation of time and knowledge, my 1 study could not cover all aspects of this theme. On that matter, I chose to focus on the vocabulary and knowledge of two specific aspects which are sea shipping and port warehousing in maritime logistics as they are related to each other closely.
Method of the study This Graduation paper is carried out by using the qualitative methods, which deals in logic, and an objective stance. Qualitative research focuses on unchanging data and detailed, convergent reasoning rather than divergent reasoning. All of English and Vietnamese terms in this graduation paper are collected from internet and dictionary. These data are divided into groups based on their common character.
Design of the study This Graduation paper is divided into three parts, in which the second one is the most important part. Part I: The rationale, aims, method, scope and design of the research are mentioned to provide readers an overview of the research. Part II: Mention the main content of the research and is divided into three chapters: Chapter I: Theoretical background of translation. Chapter II: Maritime logistics terminology.
Chapter III: Difficulties and and suggestions in translating process. Part III: Summarize main ideas mentiond in previous parts. 2 PART II: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER I: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND I.1 Definition of translation There are many different definitions for translation as each translator, researcher, linguist, etc. defines their own idea to understand the concept of translation.
This can be seen in most of the following definitions: According to Brislin (1976, 1) translation is a general term referring to the transfer of thoughts and ideas from one language to another, whether the language is in written or oral form, whether the languages have established orthographies or not’ or whether one or both languages is based on signs, as with signs of the deaf. Nida (1964, 3) regards translation as a scientific subject and points out that “the transference of a message from one language to another is a valid subject for scientific description”. In the later publication about translation theory, he proposes the concept of dynamic equivalence and defines translation as “the closest natural equivalent of the source-language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style”. (Nida, 1982, 12) Bell, Roger T (1991, 5) claims “translation is the expression in another language (or target language) of what has been in another, source language, preserving semantic and stylistic equivalences”.
He then also adds “translation is the replacement of a representation of a text in one language by a representation of an equivalent text in a second langauge”. "Translation is a craft consisting in the attempt to replace a written message and/or statement in one language by the same message and/or statement in another language". (Newmark, 1981, 7) 3 “It is rendering the meaning of a text into another language in the way that the author intended the text”. (Newmark, 1988, 5) “The process of changing something that is written or spoken into another language”.
(Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 7 th edition, p1632) Surjeet Singh Warwal mentions in his article that “Translation is the comprehension of the meaning of a text and the subsequent production of an equivalent text, likewise called a “translation” that communicates the same message in another language. The text that is translated is called the source text, and the language that it is translated into is called the target language.The product is sometimes called the target text”, he then explains further by breaking down the word “translation” itself. “Translation is the word for Greek and translation word made up two think one is. ‘Trans’+ ‘Lation’, ‘Trans’ means across, ‘Lation’ means to bring.
Thus we can say that translation is the S.L to Converted to T. Translation is a creative process of reproducing the text from S. It is like a change one set of clothes to another where the context is same”. Although the above definitions are different, they have some common features generally.
To summarize, translation is a process of finding the most adequate equivalents to convey meanings from source language to target language.2 Types of translation There are various methods by which the text is translated. According to Peter Newmark (1988, 45) there are eight methods which have been put in the form of a flattened V diagram below: SL Emphasis TL Emphasis Word-for-word trans Adaptation Literal Translation Free translation Faithful Translation Idiomatic translation Semantic Translation Communicative translation (Source: New mark, 1988, 45.) 4 Word-for-word translation This is often demonstrated as interlinear translation, with the TL immediately below the SL words. The SL word-order is preserved and the words translated singly by their most common meanings, out of context. Cultural words are translated literally.
The main use of word-for-word translation is either to understand the mechanics of the source language or construe a difficult text as a pre-translation process. Literal translation The SL grammatical constructions are converted to their nearest TL equivalents but the lexical words are again translated singly, out of context. As a pre-translation process, this indicates the problems to be solved. Faithful translation A faithful translation attempts to reproduce the precise contextual meaning of the original within the constraints of the TL grammatical structures.
