摘要 

随着世界经济的发展趋势不断走向全球化格局，多元化方式，国际间的商务交流日趋频繁，商务信函作为商务贸易中重要的交流工具，其重要性不容忽视，商务信函的翻译正确或者适宜与否直接关系到贸易交流的顺畅度。因此如何正确的翻译传递商务信函的内容就成为了商务信函翻译的重点，功能对等理论的目标为原语言和目标语言含义一致，因此用功能对等理论来研究商务信函的翻译能够更好的传达商务信函的基本含义，保障商务交流的顺畅。本文将运用文献法和对比法把功能对等理论应用到阿里巴巴的商务英语函电翻译实践中去，探讨如何使译文与原文实现词汇对等、句法对等、篇章对等，文体对等，使译文所传达的信息能够与原文真正的深层信息对等。
