Abstract

This paper investigates the unique features and translation complexities of energy-related texts through the lens of Discourse Cohesion Theory. To enhance the English translation of such texts, it is crucial to address key elements including cohesive paragraphs, main body, conclusion, cohesive sentences, as well as the judicious use of modifiers and phrases. Additionally, meticulous proofreading and editing are indispensable. Adherence to these considerations during the translation process can substantially improve both the precision and efficiency of rendering energy texts into English.
