Abstract

WordNet is an important English lexical semantic knowledge base. Focusing on the application of WordNet on corpus-based translation method, this paper presents a hybrid strategy method based on several cyber-translation aids and Word-Net 3.0 to make an investigation of some English words translation versions from the aspect of word class, grammatical feature, understandability and loyalty. Finally, the writer illustrates the authentic usages and application rules of the words and proposes some measures to improve the quality of corpus-based MT in English-Chinese translation. Preliminary experiment indicates that the hybrid strategy improve the quality of the word translation in both general and scientific discourse.
