Abstract
Accompanied with the fast development of technology and the globalization of economy, English for Science and Technology, which is also named EST, has been paid more and more attention by the whole society. With the continuous introduction of advance technology, EST translation deserves to be treated seriously. This paper puts emphasis on the research work in the stylistic features of EST and the principles of its translation. In addition, this paper intends to expound the impact of the subjectivity of the translator in translation operation. EST translation is an integrated art, which demands that the translators should have an intimate knowledge of language and literature. A good translator should have a good command of the relationship between the original text and the target literature. Therefore, at the end of the dissertation suggestions are put forward for the EST translators to improve their translation ability. In the dissertation, practical examples are presented to give a full discussion of all the issues.
