　　4. Diction in Chinese-English translation

　　Diction in Chinese-English translation is somewhat different from that in English-Chinese. If the crux of the latter lies in picking out the right Chinese word from those we know very well, the former then is much more difficult - we have to deal with an English vocabulary that we are not so familiar with. For example, the familiar Chinese adjective 老 , so simple and common a word, when used in different contexts, the English equivalents rarely keep to its original meaning old - that explains why we are often frustrated when trying to find out an accurate English equivalent for a certain Chinese word.

　　老战士 a veteran

　　老领导 a senior leader

　　老师傅 a master craftsman

　　(4) 老闺女 the youngest daughter

　　老黄牛 a willing ox

　　老芹菜 overgrown celery

　　老皇历 last years calendar

　　老生常谈 commonplace

　　Apparently, the translation of the same original word varies with context and collocation, and there is no fixed pattern to follow either in English-Chinese or Chinese-English translation. A qualified translator must be aware of this circumstance and make conscientious and constant efforts to achieve the best effect.
