A Study of Problems and Their Strategies in Translating Chinese Tea Product Instructions from the Perspective of Skopos Theory_英语论文

摘要

翻译目的论主张将Skopos概念运用于翻译的理论，其核心概念是：翻译过程的最主要因素是整体翻译行为的目的。基于该理论，本文以茶产品说明书英译中存在的翻译错误为例，从我国茶产品说明书方面重点分析语用失误等产生的原因。并通过举例法，引用法，参考文献法，归纳总结法等，深入研究了部分英译失误案例，且基于此提出了一些改进的翻译策略及建议，以期对我国茶产品说明书英译提供一些参考价值。最后借助目的论的目的原则，忠实原则和连贯原则，提出茶产品说明书的英译应该采用增译，减译，释意和重组的策略。研究认为，茶产品说明书的英译是茶文化走向世界的第一步。
