翻译记忆(TM)的原理其实非常简单,由于专业翻译领域所涉及的翻译资料数量巨大,而范围相对狭窄,集中于某个或某几个专业,这就必然带来翻译资料的不同程度的重复。翻译记忆技术就是从这里着手,首先致力于消除译者的重复劳动,从而提高工作效率。 The principle of translation memory (TM) is actually very simple. Due to the huge amount of translation data involved in the field of professional translation and the relatively narrow scope of its focus on one or several specialties, it is bound to bring about varying degrees of repetition of the translated materials . Translation memory technology is from here, first committed to eliminating the translator’s duplication of work, thereby enhancing work efficiency.
