A Study on Continuation Task of Translation for Undergraduates Under Mapping Theory:Illustrated With Teaching Mechanism of Integrating Knowledge of Reading Into Translating
The effect of continuation task in translation has been verified by relevant research,but the issue of continuation is still a dif-ficult point in teaching.How to integrate reading knowledge into translation knowledge is crucial for continuation task in translation.Based on mapping theory,this article elaborates on the correlation between reading and translation with a scaffolding of reading schema,refining and verifying the proposed mechanism by case studies.The results indicate that firstly mapping theory takes on the features of iconicity,which can inspire students to integrate reading and translation knowledge and is beneficial for students to discover and solve problems in continuation task in translation.Secondly,mappings of four types of schemas(locative,categorical,structural,and cultural)are significant for transferring reading knowledge into translation knowledge.Thirdly,difficulty of mapping and individual differences of students will affect the effect of reading and translation association to a certain extent.Research of continuation task of translation under mapping theory is worth further attention.
