'Chinglish' or English with Chinese characteristics, is the result of a translation of original Chinese text by someone whose English may not be good. While the results may be humorous, it also may lead to critical errors of misunderstanding. Joan Pinkham's guide is the first of its kind to address the many issues of translation, including unnecessary words, confusing sentence structures, dangling modifiers, and much more. Using actual translations as examples, and providing examples for practice.
This book is recommended for students as well as professionals engaged in translation and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of rendering Chinese into English.
