目的论视角下参展商手册英译研究摘要随着经济全球化的发展,世界各国的贸易往来日益频繁。在对外贸易中,展会的举办发挥着重要的作用。在展会中发挥着“门面”作用的参展商手册,更是直观的反映出展会的内容。对参展商手册的翻译,不仅能够使来华参展的企业更好的理解此次展会,而且能够提高我国的国家形象。因此,本文的写作目的在于发现目前参展商手册在翻译方面所存在的不足,并以第二届中国国际进口博览会参展商手册为例,采用汉斯·弗米尔的翻译目的论,旨在为其他展会中参展商手册的翻译提供更多的翻译方法。如省译、分译、合译、转换语态、语序等,使译者能够以更加灵活翻译方式和技巧来处理目标文本。总之,只有不断加强两种语言之间的转换应用,才能使得在译员在翻译参展商手册中更加自如,更加接近目标语的表达交流习惯,进而促进展会的顺利举办。关键词:参展商手册;商务英语;英汉翻译Ⅰ.Introduction1.1ResearchBackgroundTheChinaInternationalImportExpo(CIIE)istheworld'sfirstlarge-scalenationalexhibitionwiththethemeofimports.Itaimstofirmlysupporttradeliberalization,economicglobalization,andactivelyembracetheworld.TheholdingoftheChinaInternationalImportExpoisamajormovemadebytheChinesegovernment.Itisconducivetostrengtheningeconomicandtradeexchangesandcooperationamongcountriesintheworld,promotingglobaltradeandworldeconomicgrowth,andpromotingthedevelopmentofanopenworldeconomy.The3rdCIIEisaninternationaleconomicandtradeeventwiththelargestscaleandthelargestnumberofparticipatingcountriesheldinmycountryundertheconditionsofnormalizationofepidemicpreventionandcontrol.Itusesacombinationofonlineandofflinemethods.Inthedownwardtrendoftheoverallglobaleconomicdevelopment,thethirdCIIEhasbroughthopetotheeconomicdevelopmentofvariouscountries.1.2Researchcontentandsignificance“InthereportontheinfluenceofthethirdCIIE,itisclearlyshownthattheexhibitionattractedenterprisesfrom124countriesandregionstoparticipateintheexhibition.”Intheexhibitormanual,theEnglishversionhastwiceasmanyviewsastheChineseversion.TheExhibitorManualisanindispensabledocumentforexhibitorstounderstandthedetailsofthisexhibitionandensurethesmoothholdingoftheexhibition.Itplaysanindispensableroleininternationalexhibitionswheremanyforeigncompaniesparticipate.Therefore,studyingtheEnglishversionoftheCIIEExhibitor’sManualandsummarizingrelevantvocabularyandsentenceexpressionswillhelpstudentsmajoringinBusinessEnglishimprovetheaccuracyandprofessionalismofsuchtexttranslation.Ⅱ.LiteratureReviewTheexhibitor'smanualservesasaguidebookfortheexhibition.Itspurposeistointroduceexhibitorstothespecificinformationoftheexhibitionandtheinformationthatexhibitorsshouldknow.Thetextcontentoftheexhibitor’smanualisclear,formalandlogical.Itslanguageandinterpretationstyleareverybusiness-oriented.Itmainlyconveysbusinessinformationtoexhibitorsandplaysaninformationalfunction.Comprehensivelyspeaking,itisabusinessexplanatorytext.2.1ResearchatHomeWangHui(2011),whilestudyingthetranslationofthe2010ShanghaiWorldExpo'spublicitymanual,proposedthatintranslatingtheforeignpublicitymanual,inadditiontoliteraltranslationandfreetranslation,translatorsshouldtrytheirbesttoadoptimitationtranslation.Thatis,tofindexpressionswiththesameorsimilarculturalfunctionsinthetargetlanguageculturetoreplacethewordsintheoriginaltext.Thisnotonlypreservestheconversationalmeaningoftheoriginaltext,butalsoallowsthereadersofthetargettexttounderstandandacceptit.LiuZixin(2014)analyzedthetranslationofexhibitionlogos,technicaltermsandnegotiationterms,andbelievedthatthetranslationofexhibitionEnglishshouldberefinedandaccurateincontent.Translatingexpressions,faithfulexpressionsandeuphemisticexpressionscanbeusedintranslation.MaZhiguo(2019)pointedoutthatinthetranslationprocess,thetranslatormustfirststrivefortheinformationcorrespondencebetweenthetargetlanguageandtheoriginallanguage.Atthesametime,consideringthedifferencesbetweenChineseandEnglishsentencestructureandwritinghabits,appropriatelyadjustthesentencestructureandinformationarrangementordertoensurethatthetranslationisclearandconcise,accurateandprofessional,andnaturalandsmooth.Soastoachievetheexpectedtransmissioneffect.Atpresent,mostdomesticresearchesonexhibitiontextsfocusontheexhibition'spublicitytextsandthelanguageusedintheprogressoftheexhibition.Therearerelativelyfewtranslationstudiesspecifictotheexhibitor’smanual.Atthesametime,whentranslatingtheexhibitor'smanual,thetranslationmethodusedisrelativelysimple.Beginnertranslatorswithoutprofessionaltrainingoftentranslatetextsaccordingtotheirownunderstanding.Therefore,althoughwehaveconductedalotofresearchonthetextoftheexhibition,therearestillvariousproblemsintheEnglishtranslationoftheexhibitor'smanual.2.2ResearchAbroadDuanXiaoXiao(2019)proposedthatequivalenceisthebasicstandardpursuedintranslationpractice.However,theexternallypromotedtextneedstobe"flexible"intranslationtoimproveandpromote"equivalence".BusinessEnglishtranslationisnotonlythetranslationoftwolanguages,butalsothetranslationoftheculturesrelatedtothem.Therefore,inthetranslationofsuchtexts,oneshouldnotblindlytranslateitsliteralmeaning,butshouldunderstand"flexibility"andcombineculturewithtranslationwork.MeirongLiu(2020)believesthatfromacross-culturalperspective,factorssuchasculturaldifferences,thinkingstyles,andvocabularyaccuracywillallaffecttheaccuracyofbusinessEnglishtranslation.Therefore,onlythroughstandardizationandunificationofwords,areasonablegraspofculturaldifferences,andfocusingontheuseofprofessionalterms,cantheaccuracyoftranslationbeguaranteed.Butonthewhole,foreignresearchonEnglish-Chinesetranslation
