中国作为全球农业与人口大国，农业水资源的可持续管理对保障粮食安全与生态平衡具有战略意义。然而，我国农业水资源短缺问题日益严峻，亟需借鉴国际前沿研究成果以优化管理实践。在此背景下，本研究选取英国学者Jerry W. Knox的农业科技著作《改善农业水资源管理：灌溉与粮食生产》（节选）为翻译对象，基于赖斯文本类型理论，系统探讨信息型农业科技文本的英汉翻译方法，旨在为农业科技翻译研究提供理论参考，同时助力国内农业水资源管理的经验转化与创新发展。

本研究以赖斯文本类型理论为指导，对于信息型文本翻译，赖斯未提出具体的翻译方法，但他提出译文的信息内容占主导地位，传达原文指称内容是信息型文本的翻译目的，即注重译文的准确性，用简朴语言翻译实现简洁明了，即注重译文的简明性。作者以赖斯提出的准确性和简明性为原则，从词汇、句法和语篇三个维度剖析翻译难点并提出针对性解决方案。词汇层面，针对术语密集与缩略词频现的特点，采用直译、固定译法及直译加注的翻译方法，确保专业信息的精准传达；句法层面，通过长句拆分、被动语态转换及物称主语调整，解决英汉句式差异导致的逻辑隐晦与表达冗余问题；语篇层面，运用指称具体化、增补连接词及省略成分补偿的翻译方法，强化译文的衔接性与连贯性。

实践结论表明，以赖斯文本类型理论来指导农业科技类文本汉译实践，能够有效指导农业科技文本翻译方法的选择，在平衡信息忠实与语言流畅的同时，为目标语读者提供清晰、可读的译文。

As a major agricultural country with a large population, China’s sustainable management of agricultural water resources holds strategic significance for ensuring food security and ecological balance. However, the increasingly severe shortage of agricultural water resources in China necessitates learning from international cutting-edge research to optimize management practices. Against this backdrop, this study selects the English agricultural technology work Excerpt from Improving Water Management in Agriculture: Irrigation and Food Production by British scholar Jerry W. Knox as the translation object. Guided by Reiss’s text typology, it systematically explores English-Chinese translation methods for informative agricultural technology texts, aiming to provide theoretical references for agricultural technology translation studies while facilitating the transformation and innovation of domestic agricultural water resource management experiences.

Guided by Reiss’s text typology, this study addresses the lack of specific translation methods proposed by Reiss for informative texts. It emphasizes that the informational content of the translation should dominate, with the purpose of conveying the original text’s referential content, prioritizing accuracy and simplicity in the target text. Adopting Reiss’s principles of accuracy and conciseness, the author analyzes translation challenges at lexical, syntactic, and discourse levels and proposes targeted solutions. At the lexical level, the author employs literal translation, fixed translation methods, and annotated transliteration to ensure precise communication of professional information. At the syntactic level, the author resolves logical ambiguity and expression redundancy caused by English-Chinese structural differences through long sentence division, passive voice conversion, and adjustment of impersonal subjects. At the discourse level, the author employs translation techniques such as specification of references, addition of conjunctions, and compensation for omitted components to enhance the cohesion and coherence of the translation.

Practical conclusions demonstrate that applying Reiss’s text typology to guide the Chinese translation of agricultural technology texts can effectively instruct the selection of translation methods. While balancing informational fidelity and linguistic fluency, it provides clear and readable translations for target readers.
