Temperature
Prefixes are not as commonly used with temperature measurements
as they are with those for weight, length, and volume. The following can
be used as general guidelines to tell the weather in both Celsius and
Fahrenheit.
–273.15°C = –459.67°F (Absolute Zero)
–40°C = –40°F
–30°C = –22°F
–20°C = –4°F
–17.8°C = 0°F
–10°C = 14°F
0°C = 32°F (Freezing Point)
10°C = 50°F
20°C = 68°F
30°C = 86°F
37°C = 98.6°F
40°C = 104°F
50
°C = 122°F
100°C = 212°F
To convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, multiply by five-
ninth after subtracting 32; to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by
nine-fifths and then add 32.
To sum up, t
he quality of scientific and technical texts‟ translation is
highly affected by several factors: 1)
translator‟s knowledge of the
9
scientific speech style (both in the source and target languages); 2)
ability to choose corresponding equivalents in the target language taking
into consideration their functional and stylistic peculiarities; 3) general
translation skills.
