翻译的认知过程及其在商业翻译中的体现

论文摘要

本文通过对商业翻译案例进行分析,研究了翻译过程中的认知模型。文章首先大致介绍了翻译过程研究的发展历程,并重点介绍了贝尔的翻译过程模型。通过对贝尔模型的改进,本文将整个翻译过程划分为两个子过程:分析子过程和综合子过程,两个子过程相互作用,且共同由更高层次的子过程—元认知子过程控制,从而形成了翻译认知模型。为了便于理解和说明,本文从商业翻译实践入手,试图作为验证该翻译认知模型的切入点,并对商业翻译中最常见的产品说明书的翻译从认知角度进行了分析。考虑到商业翻译的特征,文章还对影响翻译过程的因素进行了逐一分析,并以此为基础提出了改进商业翻译过程,提高商业翻译质量的质量要求和控制体系。本文的研究意义在于:首先,它对以往的翻译过程模型进行了修正,提出了翻译过程中的两个子过程和实施控制的元认知子过程,形成了连贯的翻译认知过程模型。其次,本文对于目前日益扩大的商业翻译市场进行了具体的介绍和分析,并结合企业管理的观点提出了翻译前的质量控制体系,对于提高商业翻译的质量和商业翻译机构的管理具有一定的实践意义。总之,本文希望通过对商业翻译案例的认知分析揭示翻译认知过程中的思维模式,并借以推广至其他类型的翻译实践中去。
