學術(shù)著作翻譯時，應(yīng)注意以下兩點。
一、應(yīng)盡可能地靠近原文
學術(shù)著作一般具有較強的專業(yè)性，翻譯時應(yīng)嚴謹，切記不可譯員自我發(fā)揮進行二次創(chuàng)造，有時“照搬”并非貶義詞，能做到就已經(jīng)是一種成功了。以下為紅樓夢的一個小片段：
卻說封肅因聽見公差傳喚忙出來陪笑啟問.那些人只嚷：“快請出甄爺來!"封肅忙陪笑道：“小人姓封并不姓甄.只有當日小婿姓甄今已出家一二年了不知可是問他?"那些公人道：“我們也不知什么真假因奉太爺之命來問他既是你女婿便帶了你去親見太爺面稟省得亂跑?！闭f著不容封肅多言大家推擁他去了.封家人個個都驚慌不知何兆.
But he said that Feng Su was busy with hearing the tolerance and came out with a smile. Those people only yelled: "Come out, please come out!" Feng Su busy with a smile: "The villain surname is not a surname. Only the day of the surname Xiaoyu has been a monk for a year or two, but I don't know but ask him?" Those public people said: "We don't know what the truth is because of the order of the grandfather to ask him that it is your son-in-law who brought you to see the grandfather and save the run." . Everyone in the family is scared and I don’t know what to do.
二、基本的格式要保持正確
例如，學術(shù)著作的結(jié)構(gòu)一般包括書名、序言、目錄、前言、正文、注釋、附錄、參考文獻、索引、后記等。正文是一篇文章著作存在的本命，注釋、附錄等為基本構(gòu)件。規(guī)范的引文、注釋、參考文獻和索引體現(xiàn)了學術(shù)研究的真實性、科學性與傳承性。還有，翻譯學術(shù)著作應(yīng)將原著作者的國別和姓名排在開頭，翻譯者排在后面，原著責任者國別用方括號標注置于姓名前方。
紅樓夢的扉頁前，應(yīng)有[中國] 曹雪芹，之后下面可注翻譯者 [美國] Thai .
