奈达功能对等理论下全国政府工作报告的英译研究

论文摘要

本文首先对中国政府工作报告英译的现状。国内很多翻译学者以及研究生都对政府工作报告英译进行了研究,然而这些研究或是只针对一些特定的词、短语和句子提出了翻译策略,缺乏具体理论的指导,或是较少用奈达的功能对等理论对政府工作报告进行探索和分析。因此本文作者认为功能对等理论指导下的政府工作报告英译研究还需进一步加强。文章接着详细介绍了政府工作报告的特点并分析了目前政府工作报告英译中存在的问题。通过对奈达功能对等理论的深入研究,理论联系实际,从功能对等理论角度出发,在词汇、句法和篇章这三个层面对2006年至2008年三年全国政府工作报告英译进行研究。研究结果表明应用功能对等理论对政府工作报告进行翻译,使得政府工作报告的原文和译文意思更加贴切、一致。最后作者很好的证明了应用功能对等理论到政府工作报告的英译中具有很大的可行性,这不仅给政府工作报告英译这一实践勾勒出一个有意义的理论框架,也拓展了奈达理论的应用领域。
