Transliteration is a mapping from one system of writing into another. Transliteration attempts to be lossless, so that an informed reader should be able to reconstruct the original spelling of unknown transliterated words. When the word in English language does not have a totally corresponding word in Chinese, the translator does not adhere rigidly to the language form of English and literal meaning, and can go on to translate in close Chinese characters which are the same as pronunciation of English directly.
3.4 Mixing translating:
Mixing translating refers to apply two kinds of different translation methods in the course of translating. It is very common to mix transliteration and free translation. For example, Internet is translated as inter and net, which is transliteration and free translation. Another example is world wide web is rendered as www.
3.5 Not translating:Some network English neologisms’ meanings are widely known by the people before people find the appropriate translation. In this way, people get used to the English expressions and no longer translate them into Chinese.
Conclusion
The characteristics of network English are closely related with Internet and its users. With brilliance times features, Internet users extend personality and seek efficiency. Therefore, network English has the characteristics of being terse and lively with a very large new vocabulary. In the teaching of college English, we should develop the strong points and avoid the shortcomings of network English, inspiring students’ interest in learning English and make them having a good grip of knowledge.
The use of computers as a medium of communication has given birth to a new language phenomenon——network English. The Internet and people’s life are changing every day. So we should realize that network English in the present stage is still far from mature. New changes and developments are going on every day and more are waiting for exploration and studying.
