Cultural Differences in Business English Translation_英语论文

摘要

随着国际贸易活动的不断增加，商务英语已经成为人们在从事商务活动时最常用的语言，它有着和普通英语不同的特点。然而文化背景、风俗习惯、思维方式以及心理特点的不同会导致两国在交流中产生巨大差异。因此，为了减少甚至消除这种差异，本文从商务英语翻译的方法特点入手，结合文化差异性，使译者能够逐渐走出文化的壁垒。文章着重比较分析了商务英语翻译中的中美文化差异，阐述了其差异在商务英语翻译中的体现、对商务英语翻译影响等。另外，文章对商务英语翻译中存在的文化差异提出了相应的解决对策，以减小文化差异对翻译造成的影响。同时，本文还提出了对跨文化意识的培养，避免文化差异带来的冲突，以促进商务活动顺利进行。
