摘要

Abstract

A Preliminary Survey of the Book CH' I MIN YAO SHU

is an abridged English translation of the original work. It is not only an important achievement in the translation of Chinese agricultural classics but also an early attempt by Chinese scholars to introduce traditional Chinese agricultural technology to the international academic community. This study

drawing on relevant historical references and employing corpus analysis software to compare Shi Shenghan's translation with the DeepSeek machine-translated version

and combining the historical and cultural context of the time

thoroughly examines the background

translation strategies

and international impact of the English translation of it. The research reveals that the translator

based on a deep understanding of the cultural core of the original text

creatively employed strategies of selective translation and content compilation. Through narrative reconstruction and information integration

he maintained the narrative logic of the original work while also catering to the receptivity of the target language readers

successfully achieving the cross-linguistic transmission of agricultural knowledge and cultural connotations. This paper not only expands the application of hermeneutics theory in the study of classical translation but also highlights the academic field of ancient agricultural book translation

which urgently needs to be deepened. It provides a reference para

digm for the construction of a Chinese-characteristic translation system for agricultural classics.
