随着科技的迅猛发展，国民生活水平的不断提高，信息数字化淡化了人与人之间的交流和倾听，如何正确倾听他人变得尤为重要。为了适应人类社会发展的节奏，为人类精神世界提供新鲜养分，越来越多的心理学科普文本走入大众视野。科普作品翻译成为向大众普及科学知识的桥梁。

本翻译实践报告基于科普著作的特点、源文文本内容以及对语言特点进行分析的基础上，选用You’re Not Listening 1-4章的翻译实践为研究素材，以黄忠廉教授提出的变译理论为指导，对该文本的汉译进行了分析，归纳翻译中的困难和问题，最终借用六种变通手段，可有效解决以下问题。翻译实践表明，变译理论对展现科普著作的四个特点有指导意义：一、运用增译对原文中易引起歧义的内容和术语进行补充说明，运用减译选择性地删减复杂且重复的信息，二者有利于最大化实现科学信息地传递。二、基于目的语读者和源语读者信息获取习惯差异，采用改译和编译对源文本信息进行精细的重组加工，能够实现译文本土化，满足目的语读者阅读需求。三、为了使目的语读者快速获取信息，鉴于源文本暗含内在的逻辑结构，运用并译和述译能够帮助读者理清行文逻辑。

因此在翻译实践过程中，笔者认为需要灵活使用变译理论的八种方法，尽可能再现科普文本的四个特点：科学性、普适性、文学性和趣味性。本翻译实践报告亦为同体裁文本的英汉翻译实践提供一些参考。

With the rapid development of technology and the continuous improvement of national living standards, the digitalization of information has diluted the communication and listening between people, and it has become especially important to know how to listen to others properly. More and more popular science texts of psychology are coming into the public’s view to adapt to the rhythm of human social development and provide fresh nutrients for the human spiritual world. The translation of popular science works has become a bridge to popularize scientific knowledge to the general public.

Based on the characteristics of popular science works, the content of the source text, and the analysis of language characteristics, this translation practice report selects the translation practice of chapters 1 to 4 of You’re Not Listening as the research material. By analyzing the Chinese translation of this text with the guidance of the translation variation theory proposed by Professor Huang Zhonglian and summarizing the difficulties and problems in translation, the translator finally borrows six means that can effectively solve the following problems. Translation practice shows that the translation variation theory has guiding significance in presenting four characteristics of popular science works: first, the use of addition translation adds clarification to the content and terms that are likely to cause ambiguity in the original text, and the use of omission translation selectively cuts complex and repetitive information, both of which are conducive to maximizing the transmission of scientific knowledge. Based on the differences in information acquisition habits between target language readers and source language readers, adaptation and compilation to finely reorganize and process the source text information can realize the localization of the translation and meet the reading needs of target language readers. Third, to enable the target language readers to obtain information quickly, the use of combination and narration can help the readers clarify the text’s logic, given that the source text implies an inherently logical structure.

Therefore, the translator believes that it is necessary to flexibly use the eight methods in the translation process to reproduce the four characteristics of popular science text as far as possible: scientificity, popularity, literariness and interestingness. This translation practice report also provides references for the English-Chinese translation practice of texts in the same genre.
