关联理论与旅游翻译的关联

The Relevance of Relevance Theory to Translation of Texts for Tourism

"关联理论"涉及话语认知,对翻译过程研究及翻译实践具有与"功能目的论"相近的指导意义。在旅游资料的翻译中,译者须遵循"最小—最大"原则,通过"明示"和"推理"实现译文与译文读者的"最佳关联",达到"最佳语境效果"。尤其在旅游语篇的编译中,"关联理论"是行之有效的。

Relevance theory, a theory of discourse perception, is as of great value as Skopos Theory to the study of translating and the process of translation. In the translation of texts for tourism, the translator must comply with the principle of ＂minimal effort ＋ maximal effect＂ and realize ＂maximal relevance＂ between the target text and the target reader through ＂ostentation＂ and ＂inference＂ in order to achieve ＂the best contextual effects＂. In the editing and translation of texts for tourism, relevance theory is particularly practical.
