跨文化语境下商务英语翻译研究

Studies on Business English Translation in Cross-cultural Context

商务英语是在普通英语基础上形成的一种专门的贸易语言,随着经济全球化的发展而被广泛地运用,其作为国与国之间进行贸易往来的语言桥梁的作用日益凸显。因此,提高商务英语的翻译水平具有重要的意义。然而,生活习惯的跨文化差异、对事物认识的文化差异,以及认知思维方式的差异等跨文化的因素,给商务英语翻译带来了一定的困难。采用直译外加注明法、意译法、音译法等翻译方法,可以在一定程度上提高商务英语的翻译水平。

Business English, a special language for trade and commerce on the basis of general English is widely applied with the development of economic globalization. It plays a role as a language bridge in trade between nations across the world. Therefore, it is of great significance to improve business English translation level. However, cross-cultural factors like cultural differences in habits and customs, our knowledge of things and cognitive differences etc., make business English translation definitely difficult. The adoption of literal translations with ad- ditional notes, transliteration and free translation can, to some extent, contribute to improvement of business English translation level.
