SCI Translation Polish

Core Philosophy

Not translation — cross-language academic writing. Forget the form of the source text, preserve only the meaning. Think in English, write in English.

I. Three-Layer Decoupling Principle

Translation fails when three things are mixed together. They must be separated:

Layer 1: Extract Semantic Core

• Remove all Chinese rhetoric, idioms, parallelism
• Keep only the core meaning
• Ask yourself: What is this sentence actually saying?
