翻译美学视角下经贸文本翻译的研究

论文摘要

随着经济的全球化和中国加入WTO,中国的对外经济业务增长快速,涉及的商务信函、经贸论坛、财务报表、单证合同、商业广告等经贸文件愈来愈显示出其重要性。因而,对经贸翻译进行多视角研究是必要的。许多学者从经济学角度、功能对等理论角度对经贸文本进行研究,并提出了许多指导性的翻译策略和翻译原则。本文将尝试从另一视角——即翻译美学视角出发,以刘宓庆教授的翻译美学理论为理论依据,通过中英经贸语言差异的对比研究,探讨适合于经贸文本的翻译策略;以期为经贸文本翻译提供整体指导,从而提高经贸文本翻译的质量。全文共包括六个部分:导言、四个章节和结语。导言简要介绍了本文的研究意义,所采用的研究方法以及所要达到的研究目标。论文第一章是翻译美学视角的理论基础,包括翻译美学的产生,发展和主要内容,即翻译的审美客体和审美主体,翻译的审美意识体系,翻译艺术创造的基础层级,翻译艺术创造的综合层级。第二章是经贸文本的特点,包括中英文经贸语言的词汇、句法和文本对比,以及经贸文本语言与翻译美学的关系。第三章将翻译美学应用于经贸文本翻译的过程中,其中探讨了经贸文本的翻译过程和翻译要素,翻译美学原则及翻译美学标准的应用,总结出了三条翻译策略。第四章是经贸文本翻译的翻译策略及翻译方法。笔者依照翻译美学的“2A’s”“2P’s”的“精确、恰当”和“优选、完善”标准,归纳了译者进行经贸文本翻译时应采取的翻译方法:直译、意译和归化译法。最后对全文做了总结,指出了文章的不足之处,并对以后的研究提出了建议。
