题目:商务英语翻译中的文化差异
一、 国内外研究状况
语言作为社会的产物,作为人类历史文化的结晶,它凝聚了整个民族的社会意识、风俗习惯、历史文化等人类社会所有的特征。不同的文化传统和文化背景使得人们在思维方式、行为准则、价值观念和生活方式等方面存在着文化差异。
李禾认为进行国际商务英语翻译时必须特别注意文化差异,必须在外国文化和本国文化中找到一个切合点。按照翻译原则,做出适当的调整,使带异国情调的东西在译入语中得以再现。因此,从事国际商务的翻译人员必须了解掌握本国与异国的民族文化差异,并设法使这些差异在传译过程中消失,同时在译入语中找到准确的词语,使异国文化在译入语中再现。语言是文化的一部分,又是文化的载体,它对文化起着重要的作用。语际翻译不仅是两种语言的互相交换,也是两种文化的传递。文化在翻译中是不可忽视的因素。
胡艳玲认为商务英语作为英语中的一种有着自身的特点,在进行商务英语翻译之前应该了解商务英语的特点。首先,商务英语语言专业化。在商务英语交流中大量的会用到商务方面的专业词汇、专业术语。在进行翻译的时候应该了解对这些专业词汇的文化内涵,直白的进行翻译往往会偏离其本意。其次,商务英语语言的准确性。在商务英语交流中一定要注意语言的准确性,决不能含糊其辞。特别是在商务信函、商务合同中。所以,在进行翻译时必须将文化背景考虑在内,以保证翻译的完整性。此外,商务英语的语言要礼貌、得体、简短精悍。正是商务英语自身的特点决定了商务英语翻译中文化的重要性。
邵洁认为文化是一种现象,每一个社会都由于其相应的文化,语言是文化的组成部分,是文化的载体,使用不同语言的民族之间必然存在着文化差异,这种文化差异会造成翻译的困难,翻译作为文化交际的重要手段之一,是和文化紧密结合在一起的,而语言又是与文化相互交叉,相互渗透的,语言作为文化信息的载体,可以突破时空限制,承载文化信息的多方面内涵。因此在语言转换中,翻译是译者将一种语言文字所蕴含的意思用另一种语言文字表达出来的文化活动,是一种忠实于原文的再创作,而不是简单的将词和句进行转移,从这一点看,翻译是一种具有性,创造性的艺术,但由于各个民族在制度,地理环境,风俗习惯,宗教信仰以及文学等方面都存在文化差异,在翻译过程中如何对待和处理这些文化差异,无论在理论上还是实践上都具有一定的现实意义。
二、 发展趋势
由于历史文化、风俗习惯、生存环境、宗教信仰等不同, 导致了各国语言存在着很大的差异, 从而出现了文化学习与交流的多种困扰因素。为克服由于文化差异带来的交际障碍,应懂得其中的不同。文化差异; 文化教育语言是社会的产物, 是人类历史和文化的结晶。它凝聚着一个民族世代相传的社会意识、历史文化、风俗习惯等各方面人类社会所有的特征。不同的文化背景和文化传统, 使各国文化在思维方式、价值观念、行为准则和生活方式等方面也存在有相当的文化差异。语言是文化的载体,直接反映着文化的差异,了解不
同文化差异有助于提高翻译的质量和水平。
三、研究课题的启发
语言和文化相互关联,不可分割,翻译不仅仅是纯粹的语言和美学活动,它还和文化紧密相连,是文化交流的桥梁,翻译涉及两种语言的转换和文化的移植,因此文化差异影响着翻译活动的'进行,在全球化日益频繁的今天翻译肩负着
增进理解和文化交流的重任,文化研究将为翻译理论研究提供崭新的角度和途径也将译者完成时代赋予的使命。为了更好的交流译者更加重视翻译过程中国的文化差异尽量使用异化策略,促进中国传统文化的传播与交流。2、本课题的研究思路(包括要研究或解决的问题和拟采用的研究方法、手段(途径)及进度安排等):
