论文题目:从顺应论的视角看企业外宣翻译中的语篇重构

1、选题意义和背景

随着中国加入世界贸易组织,中国企业的对外联系也日益增多。中国企业要想打入国际市场,提高在国际市场上的知名度,企业网站或宣传册上的企业简介扮演着十分重要的地位。通过阅读企业宣传资料,读者可以看出企业外宣材料既有关于企业的基本信息介绍,也有企业所做的文字上、句法上、结构上的这染来达到推广企业、大市场的目的。汉语企业外宣材料的翻译在英译过程中会涉及到与目的语不同的语言习惯、行文方式以及文化因素、社会政治因素、心理因素和审美因素等,这就需要译者对原文本做出适当调整,从内容和形式上对语篇进行重构,以此实现对交际意图的顺应。根据赖斯的文本类型说,本文有三种类型,分别是“信息型”、“表达型”和“诱导型”.笔者认为,企业外宣翻译属于“信息型”和“诱导型”文本兼而有之,而且更侧重于“诱导型”.因此,外宣翻译要更加注重文本的交际功能,要更多的考虑如何使译文所传递的信息更便于目的语读者理解和接受,并让读者产生共鸣,继而付诸行动,实现译文预期的功能。

比利时语用学家维索尔伦(Verschuem)提出了顺应论,将语言的使用过程看做语言为顺应不同的交际目的和交际对象进行动态选择的过程。因而可以从顺应论的视角研究语言使用。翻译作为一种特殊的交际方式,也可以从顺应论的视角对其进行研究。优秀的企业宣传材料不仅会提高企业的知名度,还会为企业带来不可估量的经济效益,因此任何一个想打入国际市场的企业务必在其外宣材料的翻译上做足功夫。由于中西方文化背景、历史渊源、生活环境的不同,译者在翻译企业外宣材料时为了获取目的语读者的认可并激发他们付诸行动,就要顺应目的语读者的阅读习惯、审美习惯以及心理因素、文化因素等对原文做出形式上和内容上的调整,而这一顺应的过程也是语篇重构的过程。本文突破性的将顺应论与语篇重构结合起来,并结合西麦克展览公司宣传材料和海天调味食品股份有限公司宣传材料及其翻译,试图从顺应论的视角分析企业外宣翻译中的语篇重构现象。

2、论文综述/研究基础

1987年维索尔伦(Verschueren)提出顺应论之后,在语用学界引起了很大反响,不久国内学者就将其引进到中国来。国内学者不仅从理论层面对顺应论进行研究和探索,而且将顺应论应用到翻译理论和实践、外语教学、二语习得、文化传播等领域。在这些领域中,成果最大的当属顺应论对翻译理论和其应用的研究。我国真正将顺应论引入翻译研究开始于21世纪初。

1 国外顺应论研究状况。

比利时语用学家维索尔伦(Verschueren)在《IprA工作文集》(IprA WorkingDocument 1) (1987, 45-48)中发表了一篇名为《作为顺应论的语用学》,标志着顺应论的提出。1995年,他较为详细并系统地在他主编出版的第一本《语用学手册》(handbook of Pragmatics)中对顺应论进行了进一步阐述。他认为,语言的使用过程就是语言为顺应不同的交际目的和交际对象进行动态地选择的过程。他将语用学描述为关于语言整体的、功能性综观,并将语用学定义为语言和交际在认知、社会与文化方面的研究。1998年,阿萨卡瑟(AsaKasher)主编的《语用学的关键概念》Pragmatics;: Critical Concepts)论文集中,维索尔伦发表了一篇名为《交际动态过程的语用模式》(v4 Pragmatic model for the dynamatics of communication )的文章,主要研究了顺应论中顺应的动态性。1999年,在他的专着《语用学新解》(Understaning Pragmatics)中,维索尔伦强调了语用学的地位和作用,这本书的出现标志着顺应论走向成熟。该书主张把语用学当作一种研究视角,突破了以往学者将语用学看作语言学的一个核心分支(语音学、音位学、形态学、句法学、语义学)的看法,而认为语用学是一种语言功能的视角或纵观,贯穿于语言学研究和使用的方方面面,可以照应到语言的各个层次。运用这一视角,可以研究不同的语言材料。这是一种研究方法上的革命,可以为语言的不同层面进行语用分析,也为语用学的学科性质进行了重新定位。

2 国内顺应论研究状况。

钱冠连是国内第一位将顺应论引入中国进行研究的学者。在他发表在《外语教学与研究》上的《语用学:语言适应理论----Verschueren语用学新论评述》(1991,62-66)的文章中,将维索尔伦对语言适应包括五个方面,即适应的对象、层次、阶段、领悟程度和适应策略进行了分析,并且就语言适应、选择和语言功能综观三者的关系进行了探讨,认真分析对比了维索尔伦的语用学新论和以往的语用学的区别。他还在《外语教学与研究》上发表了一篇《语用学:统一连贯的理论框架〈如何理解语用学〉述评》(2000,230-232),该文章首先解释了语用学综观论的理论源头。维索尔伦从Morris的理论中得出了任何规则里都有语用成分,也能从不同的语言成分中审视到语用视角。其建设性意义体现在将语用学从语言学的并列学科出分割出来,使其不再属于语言资源的语言学,而是加入到语言使用的语言学去,作为是一种语言综观和视角来研究和使用,这不仅仅可以解决语用学问题,还为今后人们从语用学角度解释其他问题提供了一种新的视角。

国内除钱冠连外,2007年何自然主编的《语用三论:关联论顺应论模因论》一书也对维索尔伦的顺应论进行了详细介绍和评述。和以往语言学及语用学着作不同的是,该书紧紧把握住语用学研究与发展的方向,集语用学的三个前沿理论(关联论、顺应论、模因论)为一体来向国内读者进行西方翻译理论的介绍。

关于顺应论的部分,该书介绍了顺应论的理论来源、顺应论的三个核心概念、顺应论的视角观、顺应论的分析维度、顺应论的应用等。本书中理论与实例有效结合,为读者展现了顺应论的完整框架及其应用。该书指出,顺应论是宏观语用学的核心,顺应论为我们提供了一个研究和探讨语用学的全新视角。谭晓晨发表在《外语与外语教学》上的《语境的动态研究一--维索尔伦的语境适应论评介》(2000, 50-52)中介绍了维索尔伦的语境适应论,探讨了语言和语境互为构建的动态关系,指出动态生成的语境观是对传统语境研究及时而必要的补充。孙炬发表在《山东大学学报》上的《维索尔伦顺应论的语言哲学观》(2007,51-55)从语言哲学的立场阐释了维索尔伦的顺应论。语言的使用是哲学立场的反映,纵观维索尔伦的语用思想,折射出体现在意义观、心理认知观和语境观三个方面的语言哲学。此外,刘正光、吴志高从哲学、心理学以及语言学的角度论述了顺应论的理论基础,除了对语言顺应论做出肯定,他们还指出“将‘顺应’看成一把万能的朗匙,以解释所有的语言运用,有运用过度之嫌”(李元胜,2007:124)。

中国学者不仅专门对顺应论进行研究,还将其与其他理论结合或者将顺应论应用到不同的领域。在利用顺应论对其他问题进行研究的过程中,顺应论对翻译的研究占据多数。

从理论研究的角度来看,有的学者侧重于顺应论对翻译理论研究的启示,戈玲玲在发表在《外语学刊》上的《顺应论对翻译研究的启示----兼论语用翻译标准》(2000,7-11) -文中,为我们展现了语用翻译理论的发展历程,它超越了以往语言学研究的框架,将翻译看作是一种动态的信息交流活动。文章还指出,根据顺应论,语言和语境之间的顺应是一个相互的过程,两者可以相互影响,同样,翻译作为语言转换的过程,也会涉及到原语和目的语之间的相互顺应,这种顺应应该以满足交际双方的需要为目的,对交际语境、语言的选择和语言结构做出改变。

有的学者从顺应论的角度分析翻译策略和方法,王建国发表于《外语研究》上的《从语用顺应论的角度看翻译策略与方法》(2005,55-59) -文中,针对国内外翻译界对翻译方法和翻译策略的争论,他指出直译、意译、归化、异化只是翻译方法,而不是翻译策略,动态顺应才是翻译策略。同时,他还指出翻译的过程和结果是动态顺应的过程和结果。

顺应论在与翻译结合的过程中,学者们除了从翻译理论研究的角度分析和阐释顺应论对翻译研究的意义外,还将顺应论应用到具体的翻译实践中去,比如文学作品译作分析、应用文本译作分析,同时还有学者将顺应论与语用策略研究、外语教学研究、跨文化交际等方面联系起来。

叶苗在其着作《应用翻译语用观》COn Pragmatics Translation from theperspective of Pragmatics)中,首先对应用翻译进行了定位,然后从语用学的角度研究应用翻译。同时她主张以顺应论为基础来讨论和解释异化,并以《选美中国》为例,结合应用翻译中“异化”和“归化”之争,提出了在对具有中国文化特色的应用文本翻译时,译者可以采取异化策略,担负起传播中国文化的使命,扩大目的语读者的文化语境、认知语境,激发他们对中国文化和传统的兴趣和探索,增强我国软实力。

纵观国内顺应论的研究现状以及顺应论与翻译结合的研究现状,可以看出在顺应论对翻译的结合方面,研究者几乎都是从文学翻译、应用文翻译的角度进行研究,而且很多研究还是局限于维索尔伦顺应论的推介和重申,缺乏创新点,并且对理论的适用范围没有做出明确规定,导致了顺应论在很多领域的误用和滥用。

1、选题意义和背景

The progress of economic globalization has greatly hit the social life.

Advertising has become an important way of modern marketing and has attractedmerchants and the company. As people's consciousness worldwide enhances, manyproducts and services of advertising will be translated into other languages forpromotion to explore overseas markets. Advertising, as an effective way ofdisseminating brand information, has penetrated into many aspects of social life, andit plays a bridge role in connection and communication. Since China's accession tothe WTO, its connection with the world gets even closer. More and moreinternational enterprises and product brands come into China's huge market.

Translation of products and services for overseas consumers is not only the functionof promoting consumption, but also the effect of external publicity. In the globalmarket, advertising translation not only brings an opportunity for advertising, butalso has brings the huge challenge. Therefore, mastery of both Chinese and Englishadvertising translation is particularly important.

Skopos theory is the foundation and the core theory of functionalism. Skopostheory holds that the process of the whole translation behavior is determined to thepurpose of translation action, that is, the end justifies the means. The purpose of thetranslation behavior is the core element which determines the translation process.

Advertising translation has a strong purpose. What is more important toadvertising translation is whether translation can convey the purpose of source textand achieve the anticipated target of the source text, so as to attract the attention offoreign customers to induce their consumption desire, eventually to incur purchasebehavior.

2、论文综述/研究基础

1 Advertising Translation Studies in the West.

Advertising translation was mentioned in translation studies for the first time inHurbin's (1972) article “Peut-on traduire la langue de la publicé” (Can OneTranslate the Language of Advertising?)。 At that time, linguistics was the dominanthumanistic discipline, meanwhile, linguistics made translating a code-switchingoperation. Equivalence-based linguistic approaches mainly focus on the source text.

Hurhin argued that for one source text, there are several translations, and thetranslators chose which translation is the most appropriate one. Hurbin also pointedthat if glossaries of advertising language is compiled, this was made easier. So thetranslators will be easy to find the most appropriate equivalent expressions betweenthe source and the target text.

In Candace Seguinot's (1995) article “Translation and Advertising: GoingGlobal in Cultural Functions of Translation”. The main opinion of which is thatacross cultural boundaries, there is an understanding of culture and semioticsappearing in the marketing of goods and services. It goes well beyond both languageand design.

Another representative article “Advertising: a five-stage strategy for translationin Translation” as Intercultural Communication which is edited by C. Nord et al. Thearticle is published by Smith & Klein-Braley (1997)。 In this article, they conduct acontrastive analysis of English and German advertising. Then they developedtaxonomy of strategies for the analysis of advertising translation.

Up to now, the book which maybe the only one published exclusively onadvertisement translation is Translation Practices in International Advertisingwritten by Mathieu Guidere (2001)。 This book mainly talks about various aspects ofadvertising translation in international market and mainly concerns the globaladvertising of multinational companies, because they need to translate their productsinformation into other languages. The author analyzes some examples in advertisingtranslation and he shows readers some essential problems in current translation ideas.

This book introduced the strategies of translation which are implemented by the multinational firms to break into new markets.

2 Advertising Translation Studies in China.

Domestic advertising translation studies officially started in 1990s. In terms ofresearch contents, the initial studies mainly focused on the discussion about specificadvertising translation of idioms and the existing problems in Chinese-Englishadvertising translation. That was the primary stage. Years later, advertisingtranslation principle and criteria became the research themes. People hold the viewthat, advertising translation should give attention to in many aspects, such as text,language beauty, consumer psychology. Researchers illustrated their respectivepoints of view from different angles. Since the late 90s, although the discussion oftranslation principle and criteria were still mentioned, the researchers' attention weregradually focused on translation of difficult parts in advertising, such as therhetorical devices, emotional transmission, brand image and trademark reproduction ,etc. In terms of research methods, domestic advertising translation study mainly usesthe inductive method and the case study. Nevertheless, in recent years, researchersbegin to use the theory achievements of pragmatics and other related disciplines toanalyze different kinds of problems in advertising translation, and then put forwardsome translation strategies.

As early as xx, Li Fan proposed the development of the advertising languageposed a severe challenge to advertising translation. The artful advertisings require thetranslator to break hard the tradition of the original, boldly innovate, and improve thequality of translation. There are three reasons for flexible advertising translation: 1)the purpose of advertising is to induce consumer to purchase products. Text is justmeans, so translations do not have to stick to the text equivalent; 2) the feature ofadvertising language is vivid, which is the essence of advertising language. If thetranslation is not bold to change, there will be no magic translation; 3) formulaicexpressions are common use in advertising, if not alternative, it may be translatedinto foreign stereotyped writing (黎凡 xx:29-31)。 At the same time, researchersthought in terms of some specific advertisements, flexible translation seems to be theonly way, especially in the four kinds of advertising: 1) advertising used of witty and polished words; 2) advertising used of brand name; 3) advertising used of puns; 4)advertising with strong national culture color.

In order to achieve concise expression, attract more readers' attention, facilitatereaders recognize and remember, advertising writing should follow the KISSprinciple, namely, “keep it short and sweet” (郭可 1992:57-64)。 A great number ofstudies on advertising translation are associated with concise problem. Ding Shude isdedicated to his studies. He holds that: 1) Chinese advertising often uses modifiers toemphasis, product characteristics, while English advertising is simple words, mainlywith oral type. a lot of subject-predicative phrases in Chinese can be directlytranslated into adjectives English , such as 速度快、效率高、行动灵活 can betranslated into “fast, efficient and handy”; 2) There are a large number of the fourwords in Chinese advertising structure, which bring parallelism and overlapping tostrengthen language, but there is no such characteristic in English. InChinese-English translation should hold the center, around the center word leads toall aspects; 3) there are often loose sentences, which express a large amount ofinformation in Chinese advertising. Translation should be concise and compact,strengthen the logic; 4) Chinese advertising commonly uses formulaic expressions.

Translation should be fascinating, considering the overall rhetorical, but not stackrhetoric. Good English advertising language is not many words, but it is impressive(丁树德 xx: 42-43)。 Cao Shunfa also takes a large number of examples of bothEnglish-Chinese translation two aspects show that based on the principle of simple,the translation of advertising language should strive to use the most simple languageto express the most complex meaning, to make it easy to be remembered (曹顺发xx: 43-45)。

Equivalence theory is based on Nida's equivalence translation theory. On thisbasis, some researchers point out that commercial advertising translation is mainlyon the equivalence of semantic, social and cultural, and stylistic aspect. 1) Thesemantic equivalence. This is the most basic and important equivalence. From wordto chapter, in order to achieve the semantic equivalence, the first thing to thetranslator is that he must determine the meaning of the translation unit in context.

How to Deal with Ellipsis in English-Chinese Translation

I. Purpose and Significance

With the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. However, the differences between English and Chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.

It is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition. Translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.

Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English. Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in Chinese. Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese. The paper will explore ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among China and English-speaking countries.

II. Literature Review

Long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. In China, Xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese, but introduced the first Chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand China’s ancient culture. Meanwhile, he was the first to translate Lao Tse's works into Sanskrit. Indian scholars had a high opinion of Xuanzang, "In China, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that Xuanzang is the first great translator."(Ye Lang, 2008) We can say that it was Xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. Then, some big countries such as America, China, and so on became a melting pot.(Gu Zhengkun, 2000) People have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.

With China’s entry into WTO and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. A lot of foreign tourists come to visit China. While traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. Sometimes, they even feel confused. A lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. All of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (Ma Zuyi, 2000). I am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. The love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. But every time when I have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.

Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them. All translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(Gu Jinming, 1997) From my perspective, they really have done a great job. And I want to retrospect the cause of their development. After a thorough evaluation, I choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from English to Chinese, then I did the following jobs.

I put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then I found that it is a common case in English and Chinese which draws much academic interest. In 1976, Halliday and Hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. This classification exerts great influence in academic circle. Thereafter, ellipsis in Chinese and English has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. This kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in Chinese and English.

Another famous theory to explain ellipsis is Economy Principle. Economy Principle was put forward by Chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his Generate Crammer. It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.

In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. Exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation.

I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.

In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.

III. Feasibility Analysis

This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:

have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.

have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .

have collected enough references both Chinese and Western on ellipsis in

translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.

have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.

have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate English competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise English.

instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject I havechosen.

IV. Problems of the research and solutions

1. Problems

Despite the references I have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.

2. Solutions

(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.

(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.

(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.

V. Necessary conditions

1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.

2. The Internet is another source of information and on the campus we have easy access to the Internet.

3. I have been assigned an instructor to guide me through the whole process of planning and writing.

y浅论国际贸易国际贸易的概述 1、什么是国际贸易 国际贸易(International Trade)是指不同国家(和/或地区)之间的商品和劳务的交换活动。国际贸易是商品和劳务的国际转移。国际贸易也叫世界贸易。 国际贸易由进口贸易(Import Trade)和出口贸易(Export Trade)两部分组成,故有时也称为进出口贸易。 从一个国家的角度看国际贸易就是对外贸易(Foreign Trade)。 2、国际贸易是怎样产生的 国际贸易是在一定的历史条件下产生和发展起来的。形成国际贸易的两个基本条件是: (1)社会生产力的发展; (2)国家的形成。 社会生产力的发展产生出用于交换的剩余商品,这些剩余商品在国与国之间交换,就产生了国际贸易。 3、国际贸易与对外贸易的区别 对外贸易是指一国(或地区)同其他国家(或地区)所进行的商品、技术和服务的交换活动。因此,提到对外贸易时要指明特定的国家。如中国的对外贸易等;某些岛国如英国、日本等也称对外贸易为海外贸易。[编辑本段]国际贸易的分类 一、按商品移动的方向国际贸易可划分为 1、进口贸易 (Import Trade):将外国的商品或服务输入本国市场销售。 2、出口贸易(Export Trade):将本国的商品或服务输出到外国市场销售。 3、过境贸易(Transit Trade) :甲国的商品经过丙国境内运至乙国市场销售,对丙国 而言就是过境贸易。由于过境贸易对国际贸易的阻碍作用,目前,WTO成员国之间互不从事过境贸易。 二、按商品的形态国际贸易可划分为 1、有形贸易(Visible Trade):有实物形态的商品的进出口。 2、无形贸易(Invisible Trade):没有实物形态的技术和服务的进出口。例如,机器、设备、家具等都是有实物形态的商品,这些商品的进出口称为有形贸易。专利使用权的转让、旅游、金融保险企业跨国提供服务等都是没有实物形态的商品,其进出口称为无形贸易。 三、按生产国和消费国在贸易中的关系国际贸易可分为 1、直接贸易(Direct Trade):指商品生产国与商品消费国不通过第三国进行买卖商品的行为。贸易的出口国方面称为直接出口,进口国方面称为直接进口。 2、间接贸易(Indirect Trade)和转口贸易(Transit Trade):指商品生产国与商品消费国通过第三国进行买卖商品的行为,间接贸易中的生产国称为间接出口国,消费国称为间接进口国,而第三国则是转口贸易国,第三国所从事的就是转口贸易。 例如,战后的伊拉克有一些商机,但是风险也很大。我国的有些企业在向伊拉克出口商品时,大多是先把商品卖给伊拉克的周边国家,再由伊拉克的周边国家转口到伊拉克。[编辑本段]国际贸易的主要特点 国际货物贸易属商品交换范围,与国内贸易在性质上并无不同,但由于它是在不同国家或地区间进行的,所以与国内贸易相比具有以下特点: 1.国际货物贸易要涉及不同国家或地区在政策措施、法律体系方面可能存在的差异和冲突,以及语言文化、社会习俗等方面带来的差异,所涉及的问题远比国内贸易复杂。 2.国际货物贸易的交易数量和金额一般较大,运输距离较远,履行时间较长,因此交易双方承担的风险远比国内贸易要大。 3.国际货物贸易容易受到交易双方所在国家的政治、经济变动、双边关系及国际局势变化等条件的影响。 4.国际货物贸易除了交易双方外,还需涉及到运输、保险、银行、商检、海关等部门的协作、配合,过程较国内贸易要复杂的多。 这里,主要是将国际贸易与国内贸易进行一些对比。国际贸易与国内贸易既存在共同性,又有很大区别,国际贸易比国内贸易更复杂。 一、国际贸易与国内贸易的共同性 1、在社会再生产中的地位相同; 2、有共同的商品运动方式; 3、基本职能相同,且都受商品经济规律的影响和制约。 二、国际贸易与国内贸易的区别 1、各国的经济政策不同; 2、语言、法律及风俗习惯不同; 3、各国间货币、度量衡、海关制度等不同; 4、国际贸易的商业风险大于国内贸易。 综上所述,国际贸易比国内贸易更复杂。[编辑本段]国际贸易与对外贸易的统计分析指标 1、贸易额和贸易量 贸易额就是用货币表示的贸易的金额,贸易量就是剔除了价格变动影响之后的贸易额,贸易量使得不同时期的贸易规模可以进行比较。这里有三个概念需要掌握。 (1)对外贸易额(Value of Foreign Trade):就是一个国家在一定时期内的进口总额与出口总额之和。 一般用本国货币表示,也可用国际上习惯使用的货币表示;联合国发布的世界各国对外贸易额是以美元表示的;各国在统计有形商品时,出口额以FOB价格计算,进口额以CIF价格计算;无形商品不报关,海关没有统计。 (2)国际贸易额:(Value of International Trade)是以货币表示的世界各国对外贸易值的综合,又称国际贸易值。它等于一定时期内世界各国用FOB价格计算的出口贸易额之和。 (3)贸易量:贸易量是为了剔除了价格变动影响,能准确反映国际贸易或一国对外贸易的实际数量,而确立的一个指标。在计算时,是以固定年份为基期而确定的价格指数去除报告期的贸易额,得到的就是相当于按不变价格计算(剔除价格变动的影响)的贸易额,该数值就叫报告期的贸易量。 贸易量可分为国际贸易量和对外贸易量以及出口贸易量和进口贸易量。 2、贸易差额 贸易差额(Balance of Trade)是指一个国家在一定时期内(通常为一年)出口总额与进口总额之间的差额。 (1)贸易顺差(Favorable Balance of Trade ),我国也称它为出超(Excess of Export over Import):表示一定时期的出口额大于进口额。 (2)贸易逆差(Unfavorable Balance of Trade ),我国也称它为入超(Excess of Import over Export)、赤字,表示一定时期的出口额小于进口额。 (3)贸易平衡:就是一定时期的出口额等于进口额。 一般认为贸易顺差可以推进经济增长、增加就业,所以各国无不追求贸易顺差。但是,大量的顺差往往会导致贸易纠纷。例如日美汽车贸易大战等。 3、国际贸易条件 国际贸易条件(Terms of International Trade):是出口商品价格与进口商品价格的对比关系,又称进口比价或交换比价。它表示出口一单位商品能够换回多少单位进口商品。很显然,换回的进口商品越多,越为有利。贸易条件在不同时期的变化通常是用贸易条件指数来表示,贸易条件指数是出口价格指数和进口价格指数的比值,计算公式是:出口价格指数除以进口价格指数,再乘以100(假定基期的贸易条件指数为100)。 报告期的贸易条件指数大于100,说明贸易条件较基期改善。 报告期的贸易条件指数小于100,说明贸易条件较基期恶化。 4、贸易的商品结构 贸易的商品结构(Composition of Trade)就是各类商品在贸易总值中所占的比重。 这里涉及到一个商品分类的问题,一般有两种分类方法。 (1)联合国秘书处的《国际贸易标准分类》(SITC):把有形商品依次分为10大类,其中0一4类商品称为初级品,把5一8类商品称为制成品,第9类为没有分类的其他商品。初级产品、制成品在进出口商品中所占的比重就表示了贸易的商品结构。 (2)是按生产某种商品所投入的生产要素进行分类,可分为劳动密集型商品、资本密集型商品等某种生产要素密集型商品。 5、贸易的地理方向 (1)对外贸易地理方向(Direction of Foreign Trade) 对外贸易的地理方向是指该国进口商品原产国和出口商品消费国的分布情况,它表明该国同世界各地区、各国家之间经济贸易联系的程度。 例如,2003年我国前十位进口来源地分别是日本、欧盟、台湾省、东盟、韩国、美国、香港地区、俄罗斯、澳大利亚和巴西。2003年我国前十位出口市场分别是美国、香港地区、欧盟、日本、东盟、韩国、台湾省、澳大利亚、俄罗斯和加拿大。由此而确定的2003年我国前十大贸易伙伴(根据进出口总额确定)为日本、美国、欧盟、香港地区、东盟、韩国、台湾省、俄罗斯、澳大利亚和加拿大。 (2)国际贸易地理方向(Direction of International Trade) 是指国际贸易的地区分布和商品流向,也就是各个地区、各个国家在国际贸易中所占的地位。通常用它们的出口额(或进口额)占世界出口贸易总额(或进口贸易总额)的比重来表示。 例如,2003年世界商品出口前 八位的国家或地区是美国、德国、日本、法国、中国、英国、加拿大、意大利。2003年世界商品进口前 八位国家或地区是美国、德国、英国、日本、法国、中国、意大利、加拿大。 6、对外贸易依存度 对外贸易依存度(Foreign Dependence Degree)是衡量一个国家(或地区)国民经济外向程度大小的一个基本指标。它是指对外贸易额在该国国民收入或国民生产总值中所占的比重。[编辑本段]国际贸易中隐藏在汇率机制中的剥削 青年学者刘周在“资本时代最大的资本”一文中,发现了现行国际汇率机制中包含的剥削。揭开了隐藏在国际汇率机制中的剥削秘密。该文认为: 现行国际汇率机制,是现行不平等国际经济贸易秩序的重要组成部分。是一种有利于“少数剥削全世界的国家”的汇率机制。 举例来说,以1美元兑换人民币元计算。一个美国人拥有8000美元,这在美国是比较平常的事情。但是,这个美国人拿着这8000美元到中国来兑换成人民币就是60000元人民币。而在中国物价极低而美国物价极高的条件下,用60000元人民币在中国购买的实物比8000美元在美国所能购买的实物的价值不知要超出多少倍。这也就是说,这个美国人拿着这8000美元到中国来,用不着生产,用不着劳动,用不着冒任何投资的风险,这8000美元就实现了成倍的资本增值,实现了成倍的资本利润。这部分增值出来的利润是从哪里来的呢?它是靠无偿占有中国人民的血汗来实现的。中国与美国的关系如此,世界上一切发展中国家与西方发达国家的关系也基本如此——即发展中国家物价低而且货币汇价也低,发达国家物价高而且货币汇价也高(日本的情况有所不同,日元汇价低但是日本的物价极端地高,因此欧美国家的人到了日本也倍感无钱。但是,欧美国家的人到了中国这样的发展中国家就感到自己非常有钱,因为一方面他们携带的本国货币可以换到成倍的所往国货币,另一方面所往国的物价又比本国物价低的可怕。所以他们在本国只可以买到一根火柴的钱到了发展中国家便可以买到一盒火柴,甚至更多。这就是这个时代的基本现实)。所以,现行国际货币汇率机制是一种极其反动的汇率机制,它是西方发达国家剥削广大发展中国家的一种极具隐蔽性的工具。它所能存在的真正基础是国际间的强权关系,它的基本内容是由殖民地时代的殖民掠夺关系决定并逐步演变而来的。它与不平等国际经济贸易秩序中的其它部分共同成为发达国家对发展中国家和平掠夺的工具,而这种所谓的和平掠夺则是殖民地时代武装掠夺的继续。(真正平等的汇率机制,基本上应该以各国的物价指数作为主要的基础指标。因为物价较低即说明其货币包含的实物量较多,因此其汇价也相对的应该较高;而物价较高则说明其货币包含的实物量较少,因而其汇价也相对的应该较低。这是再明白不过的道理)。 该文并认为:发达国家的资本家们(尤其是跨国财团的资本家),表面上是依靠自己的资本和经营管理手段而在国际市场中赚取利润。但是构成他们利润的绝大部分,实际上主要是依靠不平等的国际贸易机制来实现的。我们知道,现行的不平等国际贸易机制,是历史形成的。它是历史上的殖民国家武力征服的产物,而且直到现在依然是依靠武力来维持的。所以,毫无疑问地,发达国家的资本家们,和平地在国际市场中赚取利润的时候,他们实质上是在进行一种和平的掠夺;他们在进行这种伪善的和平掠夺的时候,实质上是在进行一种全新意义上的武力掠夺,实质上是在参与着一场跨越历史时代的血腥的和肮脏的掠夺战争。资本家们正是这场肮脏战争的受益者和指使者。他们的利润依靠了他们各自国家的历史上的武力,并且也依靠着现在的武力,所以,他们归根到底是在靠武力赚钱,他们发的依然是战争财。所以,资本时代最大的资本,不是资本而是暴力。[编辑本段]国际贸易中的平行进口问题 近年来,随着知识产权与国际贸易的关系更加密切,在国际贸易和知识产权国际保护交叉领域中产生了许多复杂的问题。平行进口就一个典型的因知识产权保护而引起的国际贸易问题。 所谓平行进口,一般是指知识产权权利人或独占被许可人有无权利禁止合法生产的产品从国外进口的问题,即在国际贸易中,合法持有知识产权产品的一方未经进口国相关知识产权权利人同意,将该产品经由合法途径进口至该知识产权受保护的国家并销售的行为。平行进口问题在本质上集中反映了知识产权贸易与货物贸易之间的冲突,以及知识产权保护与国际贸易自由化之间的矛盾,正逐渐成为一个备受关注和争议的热点。 事实上,无论是从法律规定的角度,还是从司法保护的角度,我国对平行进口的法律规制尚处于不成熟状态。在国际层面上,我国是世界贸易组织和世界知识产权组织的缔约国,缔结并参加了《保护文学和艺术作品的伯尔尼公约》、《商标国际注册马德里协定》、《保护工业产权的巴黎公约》、《与贸易有关的知识产权协议》等一系列重要的知识产权国际保护条约。这些条约对于平行进口问题基本没有涉及或者将这部分问题交由各缔约方自行规定。这样,我国有关平行进口的法律问题主要依据国内法解决。然而,我国的《专利法》、《著作权法》和《商标法》这三部知识产权的基本法都没有涉及到“平行进口”问题。同样,我国的《反不正竞争法》、《对外贸易法》、《海关法》等本应该涉及平行进口内容的法律都没有涉及这一领域的问题。 由于我国目前尚缺乏有关平行进口的法律依据,致使现实生活中所发生的平行进口现象远比在法院提起诉讼的多,知识产权人苦于没有无从界定其权利范围,也无从知晓我国对平行进口的态度。在前几年中,由于我国是发展中国家,产品生产成本较低,而且之前对进口商品一直采取高关税政策,因此向中国平行进口的案例尚很少见。然而,从国际贸易发展的趋势来看,目前平行进口产生的可能性越来越大。例如,我国贸易壁垒的削减将为现有的具备潜在平行进口趋势的商品打开国门。关税的大幅度降低和配额的减少,一方面使平行进口商进行交易的成本大大降低,增加平行进口的可能性;另一方面也使以前通过走私渠道入境的平行进口产品转入正规渠道,增加平行进口的流量。除此之外,由于进口配额许可证和市场准入的弱化,企业的外贸经营权将得到实现,这也为平行进口在我国的发生准备了制度性前提。而且,从世界范围来看,中国企业作为出口方将知识产权产品出口到外国从而导致的平行进口争议也有不少。因此,企业对于国际贸易中的平行进口问题必须予以足够的重视。我国对于平行进口作出制度性的认定和规范已是发展的必然趋势。在制度确立之前,企业对于平行进口的基本含义和可能带来的后果应有必需的认识,才能在充分估计各种市场风险的基础上作出合理的经营决策。

论文题目:从顺应论的视角看企业外宣翻译中的语篇重构

1、选题意义和背景

随着中国加入世界贸易组织,中国企业的对外联系也日益增多。中国企业要想打入国际市场,提高在国际市场上的知名度,企业网站或宣传册上的企业简介扮演着十分重要的地位。通过阅读企业宣传资料,读者可以看出企业外宣材料既有关于企业的基本信息介绍,也有企业所做的文字上、句法上、结构上的这染来达到推广企业、大市场的目的。汉语企业外宣材料的翻译在英译过程中会涉及到与目的语不同的语言习惯、行文方式以及文化因素、社会政治因素、心理因素和审美因素等,这就需要译者对原文本做出适当调整,从内容和形式上对语篇进行重构,以此实现对交际意图的顺应。根据赖斯的文本类型说,本文有三种类型,分别是“信息型”、“表达型”和“诱导型”.笔者认为,企业外宣翻译属于“信息型”和“诱导型”文本兼而有之,而且更侧重于“诱导型”.因此,外宣翻译要更加注重文本的交际功能,要更多的考虑如何使译文所传递的信息更便于目的语读者理解和接受,并让读者产生共鸣,继而付诸行动,实现译文预期的功能。

比利时语用学家维索尔伦(Verschuem)提出了顺应论,将语言的使用过程看做语言为顺应不同的交际目的和交际对象进行动态选择的过程。因而可以从顺应论的视角研究语言使用。翻译作为一种特殊的交际方式,也可以从顺应论的视角对其进行研究。优秀的企业宣传材料不仅会提高企业的知名度,还会为企业带来不可估量的经济效益,因此任何一个想打入国际市场的企业务必在其外宣材料的翻译上做足功夫。由于中西方文化背景、历史渊源、生活环境的不同,译者在翻译企业外宣材料时为了获取目的语读者的认可并激发他们付诸行动,就要顺应目的语读者的阅读习惯、审美习惯以及心理因素、文化因素等对原文做出形式上和内容上的调整,而这一顺应的过程也是语篇重构的过程。本文突破性的将顺应论与语篇重构结合起来,并结合西麦克展览公司宣传材料和海天调味食品股份有限公司宣传材料及其翻译,试图从顺应论的视角分析企业外宣翻译中的语篇重构现象。

2、论文综述/研究基础

1987年维索尔伦(Verschueren)提出顺应论之后,在语用学界引起了很大反响,不久国内学者就将其引进到中国来。国内学者不仅从理论层面对顺应论进行研究和探索,而且将顺应论应用到翻译理论和实践、外语教学、二语习得、文化传播等领域。在这些领域中,成果最大的当属顺应论对翻译理论和其应用的研究。我国真正将顺应论引入翻译研究开始于21世纪初。

1 国外顺应论研究状况。

比利时语用学家维索尔伦(Verschueren)在《IprA工作文集》(IprA WorkingDocument 1) (1987, 45-48)中发表了一篇名为《作为顺应论的语用学》,标志着顺应论的提出。1995年,他较为详细并系统地在他主编出版的第一本《语用学手册》(handbook of Pragmatics)中对顺应论进行了进一步阐述。他认为,语言的使用过程就是语言为顺应不同的交际目的和交际对象进行动态地选择的过程。他将语用学描述为关于语言整体的、功能性综观,并将语用学定义为语言和交际在认知、社会与文化方面的研究。1998年,阿萨卡瑟(AsaKasher)主编的《语用学的关键概念》Pragmatics;: Critical Concepts)论文集中,维索尔伦发表了一篇名为《交际动态过程的语用模式》(v4 Pragmatic model for the dynamatics of communication )的文章,主要研究了顺应论中顺应的动态性。1999年,在他的专着《语用学新解》(Understaning Pragmatics)中,维索尔伦强调了语用学的地位和作用,这本书的出现标志着顺应论走向成熟。该书主张把语用学当作一种研究视角,突破了以往学者将语用学看作语言学的一个核心分支(语音学、音位学、形态学、句法学、语义学)的看法,而认为语用学是一种语言功能的视角或纵观,贯穿于语言学研究和使用的方方面面,可以照应到语言的各个层次。运用这一视角,可以研究不同的语言材料。这是一种研究方法上的革命,可以为语言的不同层面进行语用分析,也为语用学的学科性质进行了重新定位。

2 国内顺应论研究状况。

钱冠连是国内第一位将顺应论引入中国进行研究的学者。在他发表在《外语教学与研究》上的《语用学:语言适应理论----Verschueren语用学新论评述》(1991,62-66)的文章中,将维索尔伦对语言适应包括五个方面,即适应的对象、层次、阶段、领悟程度和适应策略进行了分析,并且就语言适应、选择和语言功能综观三者的关系进行了探讨,认真分析对比了维索尔伦的语用学新论和以往的语用学的区别。他还在《外语教学与研究》上发表了一篇《语用学:统一连贯的理论框架〈如何理解语用学〉述评》(2000,230-232),该文章首先解释了语用学综观论的理论源头。维索尔伦从Morris的理论中得出了任何规则里都有语用成分,也能从不同的语言成分中审视到语用视角。其建设性意义体现在将语用学从语言学的并列学科出分割出来,使其不再属于语言资源的语言学,而是加入到语言使用的语言学去,作为是一种语言综观和视角来研究和使用,这不仅仅可以解决语用学问题,还为今后人们从语用学角度解释其他问题提供了一种新的视角。

国内除钱冠连外,2007年何自然主编的《语用三论:关联论顺应论模因论》一书也对维索尔伦的顺应论进行了详细介绍和评述。和以往语言学及语用学着作不同的是,该书紧紧把握住语用学研究与发展的方向,集语用学的三个前沿理论(关联论、顺应论、模因论)为一体来向国内读者进行西方翻译理论的介绍。

关于顺应论的部分,该书介绍了顺应论的理论来源、顺应论的三个核心概念、顺应论的视角观、顺应论的分析维度、顺应论的应用等。本书中理论与实例有效结合,为读者展现了顺应论的完整框架及其应用。该书指出,顺应论是宏观语用学的核心,顺应论为我们提供了一个研究和探讨语用学的全新视角。谭晓晨发表在《外语与外语教学》上的《语境的动态研究一--维索尔伦的语境适应论评介》(2000, 50-52)中介绍了维索尔伦的语境适应论,探讨了语言和语境互为构建的动态关系,指出动态生成的语境观是对传统语境研究及时而必要的补充。孙炬发表在《山东大学学报》上的《维索尔伦顺应论的语言哲学观》(2007,51-55)从语言哲学的立场阐释了维索尔伦的顺应论。语言的使用是哲学立场的反映,纵观维索尔伦的语用思想,折射出体现在意义观、心理认知观和语境观三个方面的语言哲学。此外,刘正光、吴志高从哲学、心理学以及语言学的角度论述了顺应论的理论基础,除了对语言顺应论做出肯定,他们还指出“将‘顺应’看成一把万能的朗匙,以解释所有的语言运用,有运用过度之嫌”(李元胜,2007:124)。

中国学者不仅专门对顺应论进行研究,还将其与其他理论结合或者将顺应论应用到不同的领域。在利用顺应论对其他问题进行研究的过程中,顺应论对翻译的研究占据多数。

从理论研究的角度来看,有的学者侧重于顺应论对翻译理论研究的启示,戈玲玲在发表在《外语学刊》上的《顺应论对翻译研究的启示----兼论语用翻译标准》(2000,7-11) -文中,为我们展现了语用翻译理论的发展历程,它超越了以往语言学研究的框架,将翻译看作是一种动态的信息交流活动。文章还指出,根据顺应论,语言和语境之间的顺应是一个相互的过程,两者可以相互影响,同样,翻译作为语言转换的过程,也会涉及到原语和目的语之间的相互顺应,这种顺应应该以满足交际双方的需要为目的,对交际语境、语言的选择和语言结构做出改变。

有的学者从顺应论的角度分析翻译策略和方法,王建国发表于《外语研究》上的《从语用顺应论的角度看翻译策略与方法》(2005,55-59) -文中,针对国内外翻译界对翻译方法和翻译策略的争论,他指出直译、意译、归化、异化只是翻译方法,而不是翻译策略,动态顺应才是翻译策略。同时,他还指出翻译的过程和结果是动态顺应的过程和结果。

顺应论在与翻译结合的过程中,学者们除了从翻译理论研究的角度分析和阐释顺应论对翻译研究的意义外,还将顺应论应用到具体的翻译实践中去,比如文学作品译作分析、应用文本译作分析,同时还有学者将顺应论与语用策略研究、外语教学研究、跨文化交际等方面联系起来。

叶苗在其着作《应用翻译语用观》COn Pragmatics Translation from theperspective of Pragmatics)中,首先对应用翻译进行了定位,然后从语用学的角度研究应用翻译。同时她主张以顺应论为基础来讨论和解释异化,并以《选美中国》为例,结合应用翻译中“异化”和“归化”之争,提出了在对具有中国文化特色的应用文本翻译时,译者可以采取异化策略,担负起传播中国文化的使命,扩大目的语读者的文化语境、认知语境,激发他们对中国文化和传统的兴趣和探索,增强我国软实力。

纵观国内顺应论的研究现状以及顺应论与翻译结合的研究现状,可以看出在顺应论对翻译的结合方面,研究者几乎都是从文学翻译、应用文翻译的角度进行研究,而且很多研究还是局限于维索尔伦顺应论的推介和重申,缺乏创新点,并且对理论的适用范围没有做出明确规定,导致了顺应论在很多领域的误用和滥用。

关于翻译的日语论文开题报告

随着中国经济的迅猛发展和全球化进程的加快,中日两国在政治、经贸、文化、教育等领域的交流日益密切,日语人才急需,掌握日语成了刻不容缓之事。下面是我为大家整理的日语开题报告范文,欢迎阅读。

所选题目名称:

外来语の激増の原因とその影响について

外来语激增的原因及其影响分析

课题研究现状:

外来语是西方国家先进的文化和科学技术成果不断流入日本的证明。而使用外来语是我们学习和使用日语过程中的一种普遍现象。随着社会的进步和人类文明的发展,外来语作为一种社会语言现象和文化现象,促使了日语本身的发展和日本社会文化的进步。同时随着外来语在日语中的泛滥,也出现了不少问题,引起了日语学习和研究者及日本社会的广泛关注。

关于日语外来语,《大辞泉》(小学馆)将其定义为:ほかの言语から借用して、自国语と同様に使用するようになった语。借用语。日本では、広义には,汉语を含まれるが、狭义には主として欧米诸国から入ってきた语を言う。现在では一般に片仮名で表记される。1956年日本国立语言研究所就日语中和语,汉语,外来语,混合语几类构成日语的词汇,对大众化的90种杂志进行调查,得出以下数据:和语 汉语 外来语 混合语。10年后的1966年同一研究所又以《朝日新闻》,《每日新闻》,《读卖新闻》三大报纸一年的日报,晚报为对象,进行了日语词汇构成比的调查,得出以下数据:和语 汉语 外来语 混合语。由此可见,10年岁月的推移,外来语的比例得到一定程度的提高。此外,外来语在日本社会和文化中的作用也引起了广大学者的关注。日本学者荒川物兵卫在《角川外来语辞典》(1969)一书中指出:“一个个单词是民族文化的种子,一个个外来语则是一个民族吸收外来文化的种子。”《实用最新外来语辞典》(1979)的序作者富道勇夫也曾说过:“难于出口的话语用外来语说就容易多了。”

随着中日两国间的不断交流和合作,越来越多的中国人开始学习和研究日语。日语外来语也受到了一些从事社会语言学研究的学者的兴趣。皮细庚在《日语概说》(皮细庚,1996)专门辟章探讨了外来语,是外来语研究历程中的一块里程碑。皮细庚不但讨论了外来语的来源,揭示了外来语的本质,还分析了外来语的特点,着重将外来语和原语进行对比,对其中的“和制英语”作出了详细的解释。此后多年我国外语界的一部分学者深受外来语研究的启发,陆续发表了一些论文和书籍。

特别是进入21世纪后,国内学者对外来语研究的范围更加广泛。郑成在日语学习与研究(2001年第4期)上发表了名为《试析日语外来语与日本的社会心理》的论文。郑成不仅深入研究了外来语的特点,还深刻分析了外来语使用的现状,提出外来语激增的双刃剑作用,更将外来语和日本历史社会的心理联系起来。沈宇澄在其主编的《现代日语词汇学》一书中就外来语的作用、表记、语义展开讨论。朱京伟则在《日语词汇学教程》(2005)中论述了外来语的特征和历史,同时也分析了外来语和原语的区别,特别提出了外来语和在来语的关系。《相识日语》(2005)的作者王冰从外来语词语的移植方式的角度对外来语进行了研究。

综上所述,近年来有很多学者都对外来语进行了探讨和研究,主要集中在外来语的来源、特征、现状、作用及同原语的比较上,并且都已取得重要的研究成果。然而,对外来语近年来激增的原因及其影响的研究略有不足,所以本文将着重研究外来语的激增原因和影响。

课题研究目的:

本文通过对日语外来语激增的原因及其影响分析,旨在加深对外来语的了解,以便为广大的日语学习和研究者带来更多便利,方便其更好地使用外来语。由于外来语在日语中的比例不断增加,所以全面而深入地研究外来语对于我们学好日语,进行中日跨国交流有很大的帮助。外来语不仅是一种语言现象,也可以视作一种社会和文化现象,因此对外来语激增原因及其影响分析对外语教学研究、翻译和实际应用都具有积极地指导意义。

五、主要内容:

本课题实际上主要研究的是汉语中一些来源于日本的外来词。对这些外来词进行分类研究,并就外来词中翻译的不准确,有异议的地方提出自己的翻译建议。来源于日语的外来词很多,有的是纯粹来源于日本本民族文化的外来词,像“歌舞伎”“寿司”“榻榻米”等。有的是词源来源于西方,经由日本翻译,后被中国采用的外来词,像“民主”,“科学”“大本营”等。如果统统作以分类研究的话,一来工作量繁重,二来枝杈太多,难下定论。作以本课题只就前一种情况,即来源于日本本民族的外来词为研究对象,对其翻译方法以及翻译中涉及的文化因素进行探讨。本文大体上拟分为以下五部分。

第一部分为破题部分,即说明此课题的研究范围和前提。主要是对来源于日语的外来词作以归类,并指明本课题的研究方向。

第二部分是本文的核心部分,从直译和和意译两方面的外来词分别举例分析。总结适用于直译和意译的一些规律。通过具体例子,指明意译中一些翻译不恰当,有歧义的地方,提出自己的改进意见。

第三部分将就翻译中还需要说明和考虑的一些其他问题作以探讨。众所周知,文字是文化的载体,翻译与文化有着密不可分的关系。所以本部分将从三章论述。第一,中日两国对于外来语的不同态度。第二,中日语汇间的复杂关系。第三,外来语的引入对于文化间的交流和对本民族文化的冲击。

第四部分,对一些外来词的进行有趣的比较。如“日本料理”和“日本菜”,“章鱼烧”和“章鱼丸子”,“刺身”和“生鱼片”等。

第五部分为该课题的总结及展望,外来词的吸收不仅需要翻译技术的硬件支持,还需要中日两国人民的相互认识和了解的加深。

PS:任务书就主要内容和参考文献部分需要自己写,其他地方都差不多。

题目名称:商务英语谈判中的礼貌策略研究

英文题目:Politeness Principle as a strategy in Business Negotiation

学生姓名:

学号:xxx

学院:xxxx

专业年级:英语专业商务方向xx级

指导教师:xxx

职称:

一、选题的依据:

由于商务活动的需要,在世界高度一体化,国际商务活动日益频繁,中国进入WTO 的国际背景下,需要人们熟练掌握对外商务活动的原则和技巧;而商务谈判是对外商务活动的重要环节,商务谈判实际上是通过语言来进行的经济活动, 其成功与否很大程度上取决于语言的应用。在谈判过程中谈判双方都希望己方利益最大化,因此双方在谈判过程中的语言表达和应用对谈判有着深远影响。得体、合适的语言表达能促进商务谈判的顺利进行。而礼貌原则作为一种语用策略是商务谈判的必要技巧,我们通过运用礼貌策略减少谈判双方的利益摩擦,缓和谈判环境,使双方在快乐的条件下获得共赢和理想的谈判结果。本选题旨在研究礼貌语言策略在商务谈判中的影响及具体应用。其意义如下:

意义:1. 得体的谈吐能树立谈判者良好的文化素养和职业道德形象,是商务谈判中的润滑剂;

2.增加谈判者之间的信任度,提高谈判中的自觉性,增加谈判的成功性,从而实现经济利益;

3. 对商务谈判中礼貌原则的研究有利于对今后礼貌原则文化差异起着促进作用;

4. 对礼貌原则的研究及礼貌语言的学习、应用利于人们生活实际中的交际和商务活动,利于个人生活。

2)综合国内外有关本选题的研究动态和自己的见解

我国学者何自然认为礼貌语言实际上是一种语用策略。大量学者对语用学中的礼貌策略进行了研究。我国学者胡艳芳认为礼貌是人类文明的重要标志,是人类社会活动的一条重要准绳(2009),普遍存在于人类的交际活动中。国内学者徐盛恒也有深入的见解他认为礼貌语言是语言交际可能涉及的各方关系的杠杆(1992),起着调节人际关系的作用。他们的研究都说明了礼貌语言策略在人们生活交际中有着重要的作用。

国外学者对其的研究更为突出。早在20世纪50年代,美国学者戈夫曼(Erving Goffman)就提出了“面子行为理论”,建立了礼貌模式。20世纪60年代,美国语言哲学家Grice(1975)在Austin 和Searle的言语行为基础上提出了会话合作原则,该原则认为人们在所有会话中都应遵循质量,方式和相关的四准则。(1972,1973,1975,1977)在上世纪七十年代提出礼貌三规则。1978年Brown 和Levinson 提出了“面子论”。而英国语言学家利奇(Leech,1983)将语用原则分为“人际修辞”(interpersonal rhetoric)和“篇章修辞(textual rhetoric),提出了礼貌六准则。语用学中礼貌语言策略的历史来源及国内外学者的研究为诸多学者对礼貌策略在商务谈判中作用及应用的研究有着巨大的指导意义。许多学者就Grice的合作原则及相关理论,Leech的礼貌六准则,以及Brown和Levison的“面子论”在商务谈判中的应用进行了相关研究。他们的研究结果表明礼貌原则这一语用策略不仅适用于人们生活中的交流同时在商务谈判中依然适用并发挥着重要作用。

在此基础上,本选题在浅析各位学者对语用范畴中礼貌策略研究的同时,着重研究其具体礼貌语用策略和准则在商务谈判中的影响及应用。深入探讨 Grice的合作原则、Leech的礼貌六准则(得体,慷慨,赞誉,谦逊,一致,同情准则)及 Brown和Levison的“面子论”及他的礼貌策略(积极和消极礼貌策略)在商务谈判中的应用进行深入探讨。从而说明礼貌语言策略在商务谈判中的重要性。

题 目:

On the Characteristics & Translating Skills of English Advertising(英语的特征和翻译)

选题依据及研究意义:

随着经济全球化的进一步加快,国际经济的进一步发展带动了广告业的腾飞,英语广告翻译日益成为翻译学研究的重要组成部分,广告翻译的发展对国际贸易的发展不言而喻。广告是商战中的有力的武器,广告英语是一种专门用途的英语,他与普通英语有着较大的差别,本文结合大量的实例,从广告英语的语法特点、句法特点和修辞特点三方面分析了广告英语的特点,并浅析了其翻译策略。英语广告翻译作为翻译学的一个新的领域,引起了众多的翻译工作者和研究人员的注意,发展仍然不够成熟和完善,这篇论文正是针对这一系列的问题提出了英语广告的特点和英语广告的翻译策略等重要意义的课题。从而为英语广告的翻译提供了有效的途径,为众多的翻译工作人员提供了重要的借鉴,同时也推动广告业及广告翻译事业的长足发展。

选题的研究现状:

对于商务沟通中的策略,曾有两语言学家提出过。

美国语言学家格莱斯于1967年提出的礼貌被称为“合作原则”。此原则中,会话双方需要共同遵守的原则包括数量、关系、质量和方式几个准则。有了“合作原则”,交易双方所说的话就不会逻辑混乱,说话者和听话者能顺畅沟通,以达到成功交际的目的。20世纪80年代,在合作原则的基础上,英国语言学家利奇又提出了著名的“礼貌原则”,其主要内容为:通过减少自身利益,使对方从中获得更大利益的方式获得对方好感,推进合作,使对方从中获得更长远的利益。

总而言之,“合作原则”和“礼貌原则”都是要求商务信函中要坚持礼貌策略,以达到维护交易各方地位均等、关系友好的目的。

拟研究的主要内容:

1.礼貌、礼貌原则和商务英语的表达原则;

2.商务英语信函的写作原则

3.礼貌原则在商务英语写作中的具体应用;

4.商务英语信函语言表达形式中礼貌的表现。

研究的创新点及重、难点:

(1)本研究的创新点:本研究立足于商务贸易间来往,提出了不容忽视的礼貌策略,符合现代商务沟通的基本准则,有利于更好的撰写商务英语信函,促进贸易。

(2)本研究存在的主要问题:参考文献的局限性以及信函中的创新概念,避免千篇一律。

研究的进程安排:

20XX-1-15——20XX-2-15 确定选题,收集资料,撰写开题报告

20XX-2-16——20XX-2-18 撰写初稿

题目:文化对于中韩广告活动的影响

论文研究背景和目的

中国和韩国无论从历史上还是地理上有十分密切的关系。从地理位置上看,两国也十分接近。长时间以来,双方也都在经济、社会和学术等不同的领域影响彼此。但尽管联系紧密,均属于东方文化圈的两个国家却经历了两个不一样的现代化方式和过程,因而文化差异很明显并且确定存在。xx年12月,中国加入了wto,世界经济格局发生了重大改变,世界市场愈加开放。

而对于全球品牌来说,鉴于中国市场强大的购买力和迅速发展的经济实力,更是不容小觑。韩国虽然处于中国与日本的地理位置中间,并且从古时侯,儒家文化、汉字文化和佛教文化也均受到了中国的影响,但是现代化以后,全球化加速发展,韩国发达的教育系统,以及作为高附加值产业的it行业的发展,韩国也逐渐成为世界市场中非常重要的一部分。这样两个十分重要但文化差异也比较大的目标市场,必然是全球品牌在国际化战略中必须优先考虑的,因为全球品牌制作国际广告并在目标市场投放广告的过程,是与消费者接触十分紧密联系的过程,所以如何令两种不同文化圈的消费者如何受用是个值得思考的问题。

中国加入wto后,国外品牌进驻中国的门槛降低了,技术和媒体的发达也令消费者对外国文化接触的机会变多,对产品的信息捕捉能力也增加了,但是文化差异的存在仍然对于广告产生的效果有重大影响。因而尽管在全球化时代,全球品牌的广告活动仍面临许多困难。现如今,全球品牌在中国市场中的占有率在很大程度上成为了其在世界市场位置的衡量标准。所以许多全球品牌在中国本土上建了自己的工厂,因为要抢占市场,获得先机;韩国市场比中国市场要小,但是韩国的消费者对于新产品的出现和技术的变化很敏感,而且,韩国消费者对于产品的判断也十分严格与客观,消费者对产品的反馈也十分及时,因而新产品成功的几率,可能很大程度上由韩国市场的成败来衡量。由此,很多品牌倾向在韩国建立研发中心。

综上所述,中国和韩国的市场在世界市场中都有十分重要的位置,所以全球品牌若想开展有效率的国际广告活动,必须要十分重视中韩两国市场消费者的受用程度。

1.研究背景

现如今,企业的营销活动正逐渐走向全球化,所以广告也逐渐国际化。每年都有更多的世界品牌想要在两国市场中分一杯羹,全球品牌的市场攻略也是却来越积极,广告作为市场宣传的有力工具,国际广告越来越得到重视。交通和信息通信技术的发达拉近了国家间的地理距离,国与国之间的贸易和文化间的交流也逐渐联系密切。媒体的多样化使得消费者可以接触到更多样化的广告信息,尤其是互联网的发展更是改变了消费者所处的媒体环境,首先使得他们可以主动搜集到相关产品的多方信息,其次使得他们对于外国文化的接触更广,适应力和融合度也得到提高。这两方面对于全球品牌的市场宣传战略起到了很重要的影响,即需要更多从消费者的角度去考虑,对于全球品牌的广告战略来讲,就是需要充分满足消费者的欲求。

总的来说,市场的全球化和消费者与企业之间互动性的提高,更需要信息在广告主和消费者之间有更好的传达方式。

在国际市场里,为了确保消费者与企业之间更良好的互动,国际广告作为一种非常重要的手段逐渐得到重视。所谓的国际广告,其定义是全球知名品牌生产的产品销往世界各个国家,为了提高销售量而做的广告,它既包括针对本土的全球广告也包括多国通用广告。

国际广告的最终目的是形成不同国家的消费者对一个全球品牌相同认知,从而有效地管理消费者。但是,若想达到这一目的并不容易,因为不同目标国家的消费者间的文化特征或者维度均不一样,因而多国通用广告逐渐式微,更加针对本土文化特点的广告成为必须。鉴于这点,国际广告战略必须是一项长期的过程,了解不同的文化,价值观和环境和消费者对于欣喜地接受能力是目前最重要的任务。而若要制作出更有效果的国际广告,分析现今存在的国际广告无疑是十分重要的一步,即通过分析现今流行的国际广告,得出其成功的原因或者失败的原因,从而为制作更进步,更有效率的国际广告奠定基础。

广告的信息分为言语(verbal)和非言语(non-verbal)两种,并受到其对应文化的影响。另外,市场环境由于处在大的文化背景中,也是由当地的文化因素决定的,因此,广告的制作需要考虑市场环境的不同,也因而需要考虑到文化特征的不同。

言语(verbal)广告需要起到两种作用,一是向消费者传达信息,二是在消费者心中形成相应品牌。非言语(veral)广告是利用广告的整体气氛,广告模特和产品的外形包装来表现。这与用字表达信息的言语(verbal)广告有所区别,因此国际上对于言语(verbal)广告有一定的限制,因为法语、西班牙语、中文、英语、日文和韩语等不同语言的采用,对于广告的.价值和所要传达的信息可能会有所误传。

但是,尽管不同国家的文字、价值观和语言不同,国际广告仍要尽力传达一致的产品信息和品牌形象。在这种观点下,广告和文化之间的关系便被许多人所证实并研究,8并且这方面的研究以美国和欧洲学者涉猎较多。所以,以西方国家文化价值观为中心的东西文化差异比较的研究得到了一定发展。跨文化研究成果中最出名的是hofstede和trompenaar的文化维度理论。采用这种理论来分析国际广告的必要性也增加,从这时起,国际广告策略和不同国家文化维度的分析的结合便应运而生。但是,据中国和韩国国际广告研究数据库调查得出的数据,广告研究中,中韩两国跨文化国际广告研究很少,并且以东西方国家的跨文化广告研究对比比较多,特别是利用跨文化理论的国际广告比较研究更少,且也是以东西方国家的比较多。中国与韩国市场对于全球品牌都是十分重要的市场,且文化特点在整个东亚文化圈里也是标新立异的,随着两国之间经济往来的频繁和贸易量的增加,并且现在中韩之间正处于商谈fta的过程,在这种情形下,讨论针对中国和韩国市场的国际广告多样化的研究也越加重要。

广告是保证企业和消费者沟通的一个桥梁,其目的是销售产品。促使消费者决定购买的原因有很多种,除了广告本身以外仍有许多变数,现代各种媒体形式的广泛和普及以及消费者接触媒体的量也逐渐增多,现代媒体信息传达的能力也逐渐提高,所以广告仍是企业赢得更多消费者的主要手段。但是广告的功能不只是为了卖产品和服务,以电视广告为例,现今的电视广告已经成为了人们生活的一部分,除了消费产品的信息以外,社会中存在的文化特征也会表现出来,因此,这些广告除了经济功能以外,反映文化因素的功能也成为广告的一部分,也就是说,广告是有一种社会传播功能的。而社会的很多要素中发挥最强烈作用的是文化价值要素。

2.研究目的

事实上,关于广告的文化功能有两种意见,一种认为是反映(reflection),另一种是创造(creation),但另有一种意见认为广告不是单纯的反映或创造,而是两者的结合。广告为了更好的效果,一定要考虑文化的价值,因为我们每个消费者接触广告时一定会有文化价值上的反应,考虑到这种情况,本研究的对象是从文化差异的角度来比较研究中国和韩国的网络广告,用来得到以下研究目的。

第一,通过实证研究得出中韩两国网络广告中存在社会文化差异。

第二,分析中国和韩国网络广告在表现战略的特点和差异点,从而为品牌企业标准化和本土化部门提供战略指导。

所以,本研究是认识到文化对于国际广告活动具有很大影响,并从跨文化角度切入中国和韩国的国际广告。xx年,世界100个全球品牌备选品牌中,在韩国和中国均投放网络广告的品牌有16个,由此,根据这16个企业所做的161个国际广告来分析国际广告在两国的广告信息和表现战略,从而得出今后如何增强国际广告在两国的适用性的结论。

1、选题意义和背景

The progress of economic globalization has greatly hit the social life.

Advertising has become an important way of modern marketing and has attractedmerchants and the company. As people's consciousness worldwide enhances, manyproducts and services of advertising will be translated into other languages forpromotion to explore overseas markets. Advertising, as an effective way ofdisseminating brand information, has penetrated into many aspects of social life, andit plays a bridge role in connection and communication. Since China's accession tothe WTO, its connection with the world gets even closer. More and moreinternational enterprises and product brands come into China's huge market.

Translation of products and services for overseas consumers is not only the functionof promoting consumption, but also the effect of external publicity. In the globalmarket, advertising translation not only brings an opportunity for advertising, butalso has brings the huge challenge. Therefore, mastery of both Chinese and Englishadvertising translation is particularly important.

Skopos theory is the foundation and the core theory of functionalism. Skopostheory holds that the process of the whole translation behavior is determined to thepurpose of translation action, that is, the end justifies the means. The purpose of thetranslation behavior is the core element which determines the translation process.

Advertising translation has a strong purpose. What is more important toadvertising translation is whether translation can convey the purpose of source textand achieve the anticipated target of the source text, so as to attract the attention offoreign customers to induce their consumption desire, eventually to incur purchasebehavior.

1 Advertising Translation Studies in the West.

Advertising translation was mentioned in translation studies for the first time inHurbin's (1972) article “Peut-on traduire la langue de la publicé” (Can OneTranslate the Language of Advertising?)。 At that time, linguistics was the dominanthumanistic discipline, meanwhile, linguistics made translating a code-switchingoperation. Equivalence-based linguistic approaches mainly focus on the source text.

Hurhin argued that for one source text, there are several translations, and thetranslators chose which translation is the most appropriate one. Hurbin also pointedthat if glossaries of advertising language is compiled, this was made easier. So thetranslators will be easy to find the most appropriate equivalent expressions betweenthe source and the target text.

In Candace Seguinot's (1995) article “Translation and Advertising: GoingGlobal in Cultural Functions of Translation”. The main opinion of which is thatacross cultural boundaries, there is an understanding of culture and semioticsappearing in the marketing of goods and services. It goes well beyond both languageand design.

Another representative article “Advertising: a five-stage strategy for translationin Translation” as Intercultural Communication which is edited by C. Nord et al. Thearticle is published by Smith & Klein-Braley (1997)。 In this article, they conduct acontrastive analysis of English and German advertising. Then they developedtaxonomy of strategies for the analysis of advertising translation.

Up to now, the book which maybe the only one published exclusively onadvertisement translation is Translation Practices in International Advertisingwritten by Mathieu Guidere (2001)。 This book mainly talks about various aspects ofadvertising translation in international market and mainly concerns the globaladvertising of multinational companies, because they need to translate their productsinformation into other languages. The author analyzes some examples in advertisingtranslation and he shows readers some essential problems in current translation ideas.

This book introduced the strategies of translation which are implemented by the multinational firms to break into new markets.

2 Advertising Translation Studies in China.

Domestic advertising translation studies officially started in 1990s. In terms ofresearch contents, the initial studies mainly focused on the discussion about specificadvertising translation of idioms and the existing problems in Chinese-Englishadvertising translation. That was the primary stage. Years later, advertisingtranslation principle and criteria became the research themes. People hold the viewthat, advertising translation should give attention to in many aspects, such as text,language beauty, consumer psychology. Researchers illustrated their respectivepoints of view from different angles. Since the late 90s, although the discussion oftranslation principle and criteria were still mentioned, the researchers' attention weregradually focused on translation of difficult parts in advertising, such as therhetorical devices, emotional transmission, brand image and trademark reproduction ,etc. In terms of research methods, domestic advertising translation study mainly usesthe inductive method and the case study. Nevertheless, in recent years, researchersbegin to use the theory achievements of pragmatics and other related disciplines toanalyze different kinds of problems in advertising translation, and then put forwardsome translation strategies.

As early as xx, Li Fan proposed the development of the advertising languageposed a severe challenge to advertising translation. The artful advertisings require thetranslator to break hard the tradition of the original, boldly innovate, and improve thequality of translation. There are three reasons for flexible advertising translation: 1)the purpose of advertising is to induce consumer to purchase products. Text is justmeans, so translations do not have to stick to the text equivalent; 2) the feature ofadvertising language is vivid, which is the essence of advertising language. If thetranslation is not bold to change, there will be no magic translation; 3) formulaicexpressions are common use in advertising, if not alternative, it may be translatedinto foreign stereotyped writing (黎凡 xx:29-31)。 At the same time, researchersthought in terms of some specific advertisements, flexible translation seems to be theonly way, especially in the four kinds of advertising: 1) advertising used of witty and polished words; 2) advertising used of brand name; 3) advertising used of puns; 4)advertising with strong national culture color.

In order to achieve concise expression, attract more readers' attention, facilitatereaders recognize and remember, advertising writing should follow the KISSprinciple, namely, “keep it short and sweet” (郭可 1992:57-64)。 A great number ofstudies on advertising translation are associated with concise problem. Ding Shude isdedicated to his studies. He holds that: 1) Chinese advertising often uses modifiers toemphasis, product characteristics, while English advertising is simple words, mainlywith oral type. a lot of subject-predicative phrases in Chinese can be directlytranslated into adjectives English , such as 速度快、效率高、行动灵活 can betranslated into “fast, efficient and handy”; 2) There are a large number of the fourwords in Chinese advertising structure, which bring parallelism and overlapping tostrengthen language, but there is no such characteristic in English. InChinese-English translation should hold the center, around the center word leads toall aspects; 3) there are often loose sentences, which express a large amount ofinformation in Chinese advertising. Translation should be concise and compact,strengthen the logic; 4) Chinese advertising commonly uses formulaic expressions.

Translation should be fascinating, considering the overall rhetorical, but not stackrhetoric. Good English advertising language is not many words, but it is impressive(丁树德 xx: 42-43)。 Cao Shunfa also takes a large number of examples of bothEnglish-Chinese translation two aspects show that based on the principle of simple,the translation of advertising language should strive to use the most simple languageto express the most complex meaning, to make it easy to be remembered (曹顺发xx: 43-45)。

Equivalence theory is based on Nida's equivalence translation theory. On thisbasis, some researchers point out that commercial advertising translation is mainlyon the equivalence of semantic, social and cultural, and stylistic aspect. 1) Thesemantic equivalence. This is the most basic and important equivalence. From wordto chapter, in order to achieve the semantic equivalence, the first thing to thetranslator is that he must determine the meaning of the translation unit in context.

How to Deal with Ellipsis in English-Chinese Translation

I. Purpose and Significance

With the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. However, the differences between English and Chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.

It is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition. Translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.

Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English. Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in Chinese. Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese. The paper will explore ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among China and English-speaking countries.

II. Literature Review

Long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. In China, Xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese, but introduced the first Chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand China’s ancient culture. Meanwhile, he was the first to translate Lao Tse's works into Sanskrit. Indian scholars had a high opinion of Xuanzang, "In China, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that Xuanzang is the first great translator."(Ye Lang, 2008) We can say that it was Xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. Then, some big countries such as America, China, and so on became a melting pot.(Gu Zhengkun, 2000) People have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.

With China’s entry into WTO and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. A lot of foreign tourists come to visit China. While traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. Sometimes, they even feel confused. A lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. All of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (Ma Zuyi, 2000). I am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. The love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. But every time when I have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.

Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them. All translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(Gu Jinming, 1997) From my perspective, they really have done a great job. And I want to retrospect the cause of their development. After a thorough evaluation, I choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from English to Chinese, then I did the following jobs.

I put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then I found that it is a common case in English and Chinese which draws much academic interest. In 1976, Halliday and Hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. This classification exerts great influence in academic circle. Thereafter, ellipsis in Chinese and English has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. This kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in Chinese and English.

Another famous theory to explain ellipsis is Economy Principle. Economy Principle was put forward by Chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his Generate Crammer. It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.

In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. Exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation.

I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.

In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.

III. Feasibility Analysis

This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:

have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.

have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .

have collected enough references both Chinese and Western on ellipsis in

translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.

have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.

have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate English competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise English.

instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject I havechosen.

IV. Problems of the research and solutions

1. Problems

Despite the references I have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.

2. Solutions

(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.

(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.

(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.

V. Necessary conditions

1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.

2. The Internet is another source of information and on the campus we have easy access to the Internet.

3. I have been assigned an instructor to guide me through the whole process of planning and writing.
