Implementing Systematic Cross Reference in Translation to Boost Internationalization of Chinese Rail-way Standards
The extraordinary growth of China railways has led to the adoption of Chinese railway standards in many countries overseas.However,as Chinese standards differ from several international standards currently in effect,there is a need for more professional translation of Chinese standards into English.This article provides an overview of the background of China railways'globalization efforts and highlights the major problems encoun-tered in the early stages of English translation of Chinese railway standards.It then introduces the concept of"cross reference"in translation practice,which entails a systematic comparison of content and expression in both languages.This approach aims to improve the technical precision and accuracy of English versions of Chi-nese railway standards,thereby promoting the internationalization of these standards.
