| Abstract: | The present paper deals with the main difficulties encountered during their English course by those students training to become electronics engineers. It is intended as an analysis of the English technical terms which have no equivalents in the Romanian vocabulary. The very notion expressed by some words is so closely connected with the English variants that the students will end up by using the English terms without the slightest effort to think of the proper Romanian corresponding terms. Moreover, they will often have the tendency to adapt them phonetically and even graphically to the Romanian language. The reverse phenomenon is also obvious among students when having to translate such sentences as When the number of electrons reaching the screen is large, we see a bright spot. Most of the students will strive to find the Romanian equivalent for the English word spot, which has been adopted by the Romanian language, as well (spot = spot, pata de lumina, punct/element de imagine). |
