Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v5i6.1573
Abstract
The text of this translation practice is excerpted from Mind Food: Plant-Based Recipes for Positive Mental Health. Part I of this book discusses and analyzes the influence and function of food on mental health based on the author's personal experience, emphasizing that spiritual food is not only a way of life, but also an activity that can connect us with our surroundings. The author of the book himself suffered from eating disorder due to a major setback in his life, but by adjusting his diet, he was able to get his life back on track. The translator selected the spring part of the first chapter, which mainly introduced the recipes composed of vegetables in the spring season. The translation practice report was guided by Skopos theory and analyzed the practical problems encountered in all aspects of translation practice in detail. The report is divided into four parts: the first part is the selection of translation theories; the second part is the main part of the report: case study. In the last part, the author summarizes the experience and inspiration gained in the translation practice, hoping to help the translation work in the future.
