全译视域下的商务翻译补偿

Compensation in Business Translation from the Perspective of Complete Translation Theory

商务翻译存在翻译损失和翻译补偿现象。翻译补偿有助于降低和修复翻译过程中产生的各种损失,对最大化地再现原文特征具有重要的意义。商务翻译求"信"至上的标准与全译求"化"的本质属性高度吻合,故在策略选择上宜以全译为先。此外,全译视域下的商务翻译补偿还横跨语言学层面和审美层面,涵盖了词汇、语法、语篇和审美要素等诸多维度。

Translation loss and compensation both exist in business translation. Translation compensation can reduce or make up for the loss of a source text effect by recreating a similar effect in the target text. It is proposed that complete translation should be given priority to in terms of translation strategies as a result of the high consistence of the ＂faithfulness-first＂ criterion of business translation and the essence of complete translation. In addition, lexical, grammatical, textual and aesthetic compensation in business translation are explored from the perspective of complete translation.
