Abstract
Words and their meanings depend primarily on the context. A translator should be aware that the same English word in different context or different branch of science has different meanings. Meanwhile, the mastery of the special terms is certainly helpful to achieve good translation. Besides, a translator should not forget that the meaning of a word also depends on the historical and cultural background.
