Original 1: Most of interactive teaching, such as question -type learning methods and flipping classroom methods to encourage students to actively participate and challenge their learning ability.

原译文：Use more interactive pedagogies, such as enquiry-based learning and the flipped classroom approach in order to encourage students to participate more actively and challenge their learning abilities.

After modification: Make More Extensive Use of Interactive Pedagogies, SUCH As ENQUIRY-BASED Learning and the Flipped Classroom Approach In Order to Engage and Challenge Stuises.

Analysis: The original translation is a rigid literal translation of Chinese. There are no big mistakes on the surface, but it is not an authentic English expression. After comparison, it can be found that the modified translation is different from the original translation:

1) Translation of "more adoption". The original text "Most of interactive teaching" means to adopt this method in a wider range, and the use More Interactive Pedagogies means "using more types of interactive teaching methods". meaning. It can be seen that when translating, you must understand the original intention of the article.

"Engage" and the verb, which refers to "involvement"; "Challenge" and the verb, meaning "to stimular/test the skills or Abilities of someOne" ("Langwen Contemporary English Dictionary P277)), can be directly directly directly directly directly). Put an object sb. "Abilities of sb." It can be seen that accurate use and verb can make the translation more authentic.
