Generally speaking, one of the significant differences between English and Chinese is that English is static in character and Chinese is dynamic in character. In other words, English usually uses more nouns, prepositions, adjectives, etc., while Chinese, on the contrary, usually uses verbs. Therefore, for translation, when translating from English to Chinese, we should appropriately convert some nouns or prepositions into verbs to make the translation smooth and natural, and more in line with Chinese expression habits; when translating from Chinese to English, we should appropriately convert some verbs into nouns or prepositional phrases to make the translation strict in structure.
