s  and  experts.  Since  the  publication  of  Translators’  Notes  in  1950,  the exchange  of  translation  theory  and  practice  among  countries  has  become  easier.  After  that, domestic technical translation activities have gradually increased. 

As a branch of EST, English for food science and technology has a lot in common with EST  in  terms  of  vocabulary,  syntax  and  discourse.  Therefore,  the  previous  studies  on  EST translation can also guide the translation of this type of text to a large extent. At present, many achievements  have  been  made  in  domestic  research  of  scientific  translation.  This  report illustrates  the  domestic  studies  of  scientific  translation  based  on  the  relevant  literature  from 2000 to 2020. A search on CNKI with the theme of “EST translation” shows that there are 3240 published articles, among which 2079 are journals and 618 are papers.

Chapter Two Theoretical Framework

2.1 An Overview of Skopos Theory

In  the  1970s,  functionalist  Skopos  theory  emerged  in  Germany.  It  was  successively proposed, gradually enriched and finally perfected by a group of German scholars. It is also the most representative and influential translation theory in Germany today. 

Katharine  Reiss  (2001)  believed  that  the  equivalence  at  the  textual  level  should  be pursued by translators, and she proposed translation strategies should be combined with text types and genres. But later she learned that it’s hard to realize equivalence between the source text and the target text in context. Therefore, the first thing to be weighed in translation should be the functional features of the target text rather than the principle of equivalence, then the embryonic  form  of  Skopos  theory  came  into  being.  In  1971,  Reiss  first  took  the  special purpose  of  translation  as  a  new  model  of  translation  criticism  in  the  book  Possibilities  and Limits of Translation Criticism, and later she proposed Text Typology. In her opinion, text is the  basis  of  translation  and  different  translation  methods  should  be  adopted  for  texts  with different functions. Moreover, the form of the translation should focus on the purpose of the target language. According to Reiss, there are three types of text: informative text, expressive text and operational text. The type of the text determines the method of translation.
