招商引资文本中英翻译 ——文本类型理论与信息价值理论的整合性研究

论文摘要

随着中国经济和全球化的发展,吸引国际投资和引进国际资源已成为中国政府促进经济发展的重要政策。如今,许多政府网页上出现了招商引资文本,主要有项目地概览和项目简介。前者主要介绍招商引资项目所在地的背景,而后者主要介绍具体项目。本文的研究对象便是项目地概览和项目简介这两种常见的招商引资文本。在中国,应用翻译研究已取得可喜进展,然而关于招商引资文本翻译的研究却未受到足够关注。为了改善这种情况,本文试图结合文本类型和信息价值理论对该类文本进行分析,并希望总结出招商引资文本的特点和相应的翻译策略。本文结合上述理论,分析了招商引资文本的文本类型和所包含的信息类型。文章还运用信息突出原则和信息简明原则,结合五个辅助策略即深化,浅化,轻化,弱化,等化,对现有的招商引资文本翻译进行了定性分析,并提出了相关建议。经过分析,作者发现招商引资文本包含信息功能和召唤功能,属信息型文本和召唤性文本的结合;招商引资文本包含五种基本信息类型:事实性,描述性,评价性,文化性和召唤性信息,其中事实性信息最为突出。信息突出原则和经济简明原则对获得简明有效的招商引资文本翻译有着指导意义。在翻译招商引资文本的过程中,译者需首先确认信息类型,并对其价值进行分析,之后根据信息突出原则和经济简明原则进行适当处理。期望本文能给对中国应用翻译有所贡献,并对招商引资文本的写作与翻译有所帮助。
