从功能对等理论视角对《中华人民共和国海商法》汉英翻译的分析

论文摘要

奈达是当今世界最著名的翻译理论学家之一,他所提出的功能对等理论在翻译理论发展史上占有重要的地位。目前,在语言学领域还没有一个主流的用来指导法律文献翻译的翻译理论。《中华人民共和国海商法》自实施以来在处理海事问题方面发挥了积极作用,在海洋法律发展过程中具有里程碑式的意义。本论文基于奈达的功能对等理论从词汇和句法方面对《中华人民共和国海商法》汉英翻译进行分析,作者认为使用功能对等理论的最终目的是达成两种文本读者在理解上的一致性。在分析过程中,作者列举了大量例证支持观点,在研究后有了新的发现,并希望对今后的海洋法汉英翻译有所帮助。
