淺談國際商務(wù)英語翻譯策略
摘 要:隨著經(jīng)濟全球化的不斷發(fā)展,世界各國之間的貿(mào)易往來越來越密切,商務(wù)英語在國際貿(mào)易中起著越來越重要的作用。本文從商務(wù)英語的基本地位和作用入手,分析了商務(wù)英語翻譯的特點,并根據(jù)國際商務(wù)活動的具體情況簡述了國際商務(wù)英語翻譯策略,僅供參考。
關(guān)鍵詞:商務(wù)英語;翻譯;策略
近年來,隨著國際貿(mào)易的不斷發(fā)展,各國之間的經(jīng)濟交流和合作也得到了加強,英語作為國際通用語言,在這種交流和合作中起著越來越重要的作用,在此情況下,商務(wù)英語在國際貿(mào)易中的作用也是不言而喻的。鑒于此,本文將從商務(wù)英語的基本地位和作用入手,對商務(wù)英語翻譯的特點進行分析,并結(jié)合實際簡述了國際商務(wù)英語的翻譯策略。商務(wù)英語概述
對于商務(wù)英語的理解,很多相關(guān)的專業(yè)人士都有相同的看法,他們都認為商務(wù)英語的用途不可小覷,它是專門用途英語中不可缺少的部分,在國際貿(mào)易活動中起著重要的作用,雖然它和普通英語有著相同的特點,但又有自身的特點,它的表現(xiàn)內(nèi)容和語言現(xiàn)象都與普通英語不同。有相關(guān)的專業(yè)人士對商務(wù)英語的基本理論進行了歸納總結(jié),將其概括為文化背景、管理職能、專業(yè)知識、交際職能和語言知識。因此,商務(wù)英語就是在進行國際合作和交流過程中使用的英語。隨著經(jīng)濟全球化的不斷發(fā)展,國際商務(wù)活動越來越頻繁,商務(wù)英語在國際貿(mào)易中起著越來越重要的作用,國際商務(wù)英語的翻譯也引起了人們的高度重視。商務(wù)英語可以促進對外交流,這是其主要作用,而商務(wù)合同又是對外交流的重要內(nèi)容,因此,相比于普通英語的翻譯,商務(wù)英語的翻譯較為復雜,翻譯者必須熟悉相關(guān)的專業(yè)知識和語言特點,還要遵守相關(guān)的商務(wù)英語翻譯原則。商務(wù)英語翻譯的特點
概括起來說,商務(wù)英語翻譯的特點較多,主要包括清晰、準確、具體、簡潔、完整等。所謂清晰,就是要求商務(wù)文書有明確的主題,合理的結(jié)構(gòu),清晰的結(jié)構(gòu)。準確就是要求譯文內(nèi)容合乎語法,用詞準確[1]。具體就是要求商務(wù)文書的翻譯具體明確。簡潔就是要求譯文內(nèi)容凝練,具備效率性和時間性。完整就是要求譯文內(nèi)容完整。商務(wù)英語翻譯特點主要體現(xiàn)在詞匯運用特征和語言特點上。
2.1 商務(wù)英語的詞匯特點
有關(guān)人士認為,在翻譯的過程中,僅僅掌握兩種語言是無法成功進行翻譯的,還需要掌握兩種文化,因為詞匯在不同文化背景下的意義不同。因此,商務(wù)英語的翻譯需要理解文化差異。商務(wù)英語詞匯還有一個特點就是詞匯縮寫。在國際商務(wù)活動中,由于商務(wù)活動十分頻繁,為了盡快跟上商務(wù)活動的步驟,很多詞匯都會進行縮寫,涉獵范圍非常廣。此外,商務(wù)英語習慣運用形象化詞和新詞。例如Soft-Landing,按照普通英語的翻譯習慣可譯為重量級公司,而在商務(wù)英語中則是指在財政政策和貨幣政策的影響下,對高速增長的經(jīng)濟進行適當調(diào)整,使其恢復正常運作。
2.2 商務(wù)英語的語言特點
商務(wù)英語的語言具有很強的專業(yè)性,專業(yè)詞匯運用恰到好處,詞匯含義會因情景的變化而變化。同時,商務(wù)英語詞匯的運用都是符合一定的標準和規(guī)范的。絕大多數(shù)的商務(wù)英語句子結(jié)構(gòu)與普通英語句子結(jié)構(gòu)不一樣且難以分清,在新聞報道、合同協(xié)議和招標文書等正式文件中,都是采用正式的文體、嚴謹規(guī)范的句式來完成的。此外,語言表達的要求較高。商務(wù)英語在國際商務(wù)活動中主要作用就是對外交流,其包括雙方的義務(wù)和權(quán)利,這就要求語言表達恰到好處,保證信息的傳達正確無誤。所以,商務(wù)英語表達的內(nèi)容要與實際情況相符,確保各類數(shù)據(jù)的準確性。商務(wù)英語翻譯的策略
基于上述商務(wù)英語翻譯的特點,可以提煉出商務(wù)英語翻譯的策略,主要包括以下幾大策略:文化差異的理解;研究商務(wù)合同翻譯策略;努力避免錯誤等。
3.1 文化差異的理解
由于各國文化存在著較大的差異,對語言的理解也不同,這就極易引發(fā)誤譯和誤解。部分詞語有著不同的文化內(nèi)涵,其漢語涵義與英語涵義也不一樣,有些辭典對詞語的翻譯可能不準確,就無法正確表達與理解其真正涵義。例如,我們都知道的1972年(上海公報)中的acknowledge,中美雙方對其就有不同的理解。中方理解成美方“承認”,而美方則理解成“熟知”,“知道”。此外,其他事件中也遇到過這種情況。這就與文化背景和詞語的涵義有關(guān)。
再有,在某次商務(wù)活動中,德國商人與美國商人進行談判時有這么一句話:“I know it is impossible,but can we do it ?”德國商人對impossible的理解是不可能的,而美國人的理解卻不一樣,這種理解差異與文化差異有著緊密的聯(lián)系。據(jù)此可知,商務(wù)活動和商務(wù)文章中的詞語運用較為靈活,要根據(jù)文化背景和上下文來翻譯理解,否則就會出現(xiàn)誤譯和誤解。
3.2 研究商務(wù)合同翻譯策略
商務(wù)合同都是經(jīng)過雙方同意而簽訂的,與雙方的利益有著莫大的關(guān)系,要特別重視其翻譯,這就要求有商務(wù)合同的翻譯策略。商務(wù)合同的翻譯極為重要,要分清合同是屬于什么類型的。在翻譯前,要在知其梗概的基礎(chǔ)上,了解合同種類和其基本意思,熟知篇章特點和合同的結(jié)構(gòu)條款[2]。同時,要對條款進行認真研讀。在大概了解原文內(nèi)容后,要仔細、嚴謹?shù)匮凶x條款,理解詞語的實際涵義,分清其句子結(jié)構(gòu),以便進行正確地翻譯。此外,要對翻譯進行有效組織。在完成上述工作后,選取相應(yīng)的詞語,準確、規(guī)范地翻譯原文。當然,審譯、漏譯等工作也不容忽視。翻譯后,要對譯文的審譯進行組織,以便能夠及時地發(fā)現(xiàn)問題并解決,碰到漏譯的情況,一定要及時地進行補充,不然的話,就會給雙方造成巨大的損失。同時,合同中也有許多陷阱,需要引起高度的重視,以免自己的利益受損。
3.3 努力避免錯誤
在翻譯商務(wù)英語的過程中,商務(wù)英語翻譯工作者應(yīng)具備扎實的專業(yè)知識和翻譯的基本策略,還要養(yǎng)成良好的習慣,努力避免錯誤。就算是碰到一些常用的詞或詞組,只要碰到不懂的問題,就要翻查相關(guān)的辭典,千萬不可望文生義,完全照搬。中國學生在翻譯的過程中,經(jīng)常會以漢語的理解思維來進行翻譯,這樣就極易出現(xiàn)誤譯或錯譯,從而導致信息傳遞梗塞,讓人無法理解。通常情況下,此種錯誤有兩類,一類是語法錯誤,還有一類是詞匯錯誤,如The prices are cheap會誤翻譯為物價低廉,其實物價低廉正確的翻譯是The prices are low.4 結(jié)語
綜上所述,商務(wù)英語在國際商務(wù)活動中起著重要的作用,可以促進各國之間的經(jīng)濟合作和交流。由于商務(wù)英語與普通英語存在著差異性,商務(wù)英語的翻譯也有自身的特點,因此,在國際商務(wù)活動中,要注意國際商務(wù)英語翻譯策略,以便更好地促進國際貿(mào)易的發(fā)展。

第二篇:國際商務(wù)英語翻譯
1.國際貿(mào)易一般指不同國家當事人進行的交易,它涉及到許多因素。因而比國內(nèi)貿(mào)易要復雜的多。International business refers to transaction between parties from different countries.It involves mort factors and thus is more complicated than domestic business.2.隨著經(jīng)濟一體化進程的發(fā)展,很少人和公司能完全獨立于國際商務(wù)之外而存在。因此,在此方面具有一定的知識是十分必要的,這既有益于企業(yè)的發(fā)展,又有益于個人的進步With the development of economic globalization, few people or companies can enterprises and personal advancement 3.其他參與國際貿(mào)易的形式有管理合同,承包生產(chǎn)和“交鑰匙”工程。completely stay away from international business.Therefore, some knowledge in this respect is necessary both for the benefit of Other forms for participating in international business are management contract, contract manufacturing, and turnkey project 4.國際貿(mào)易最初以商品貿(mào)易的形式出現(xiàn),即在一國生產(chǎn)或制造商品而出口或進口到另一國進行消費或轉(zhuǎn)售。International consumption or resale in another.5.除了國際貿(mào)易和投資,國際許可和特許經(jīng)營有時也是進入國際市場的一種方式
Besides trade and investment, international licensing and franchising are some times taken as a means of entering a foreign market.(二)
1.國民生產(chǎn)總值和國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值是表明一國收入的兩個重要概念,區(qū)別在于前者強調(diào)的是生產(chǎn)要素的所屬權(quán)而后者著重于進行生產(chǎn)的國家。business first took the form of commodity trade, i.e.exporting and importing goods produced or manufactured in one country for GNP and GDP are two important concepts used to indicate a country’s income.The difference between GNP and GDP is that the former focuses on ownership of the factors of production while the latter concentrates on the place where production takes place 2.要估評某一市場的潛力,人們往往要分析其收入水平,因為它為那里居民的購買力高低提供了線索In assessing the potential of a market, people often look at its income level since it provides clues about the purchasing power of its residents.3.世界各國被世界銀行分為三大領(lǐng)域,高收入國家、中等收入國家和低收入國家
Countries of the world are divided by the World Bank into three categories of high-income, middle income and low income 4.中國現(xiàn)在的年人均收入為1100美元以上,但幾年前它還是個低收入國家。
China with an annual per capita income of over $1100 is a middle income country though it was a low income country just a few years ago.5.就中國來說,周圍還有其他應(yīng)特別關(guān)注的市場,如亞洲四小虎,東盟國家,俄羅斯等國,這些國家都具有前景看好的市場潛力,能為中國提供很好的商機。As far as China is concerned, other markets we should pay particular attention to are those around us: the Four Tigers, the ASEAN countries, Russia, etc.Those are countries with very promising market potential and can offer good business opportunities to China.(三)1.過去的幾十年,地區(qū)經(jīng)濟一體化越來越嚴重。
The past decades witnessed increasingly growing importance of regional economic integration.2經(jīng)濟聯(lián)盟的成員國不僅要在稅收、政府開支、企業(yè)策略等方面保持一致,而且還應(yīng)適用同一的貨幣。
The members of an economic union are required not only to harmonize their taxation, government expenditure, industry policies, etc, but also use the same currency.3歐洲委員會是歐盟的管理機構(gòu)之一,此機構(gòu)將提議呈交給部長理事會做決定,并監(jiān)督各成員國根據(jù)所制定的條約履行自己的義務(wù)。
The European Commission is one of the governing organs of the EU.It is the body which puts proposals to the Council of Ministers for decision and sees that the members carry out their duties under the treaty 4APEC建立與在澳大利亞首都堪培拉召開的一次部長級會議上。當時有12位成員國出席,分別是澳大利亞、美國、加拿大、日本、朝鮮、新西蘭和東盟六國。APEC was set up at the Ministerial Meeting held in the Australia capital Canberra attened by 12members of Australia,the united states,canada,japan,republic of korea,new zealand and six ASEAN countries.5著名的自由貿(mào)易區(qū)是北美自由貿(mào)易區(qū),它是由美國、加拿大和墨西哥于1991年建立的。
The most notable free trade area is the North American Free Trade Area, the largest free market formed by the United States, Canada and Mexico in 1991(四)1.經(jīng)濟全球化為世界經(jīng)濟發(fā)展提供了新的動力和機會, 同時也使各經(jīng)濟體更加相互依賴、相互影響。Economic globalization is giving new impetus and opportunities to world economic development and meanwhile making the various economies more and more interdependent and interactive 2.跨國公司是在一個以上國家擁有、控制和經(jīng)營資產(chǎn)的商業(yè)組織。
A multinational enterprise is a business organization that owns, controls and manages assents in more than one country 3.許多人歡呼經(jīng)濟全球帶來的好處,但同時也有強烈的反對聲音。
An MNE may also have various regional or operational headquarters, in addition to international headquarters 4.跨國公司的內(nèi)部交換在整個國際貿(mào)易的一個很大的比例。
The transfer of the intra-MNE transactions constitutes a very significant proportion of total international trade 5.盡管公司的日常管理工作下放到跨國企業(yè)的子公司,但重要決策,如有關(guān)公司和新投資等都由母公司來決定。
Although the day-to-day running of corporate operations may be decentralized to the affiliate MNCS, the major decisions, such at those on corporate goals and new investments are made by the parent company 6.無論人們是否喜歡,經(jīng)濟全球化已成為世界經(jīng)濟發(fā)展中的一個客觀趨勢。
Like it or not, economic globalization has become an objective trend in world economic development
(五)1.在復雜的經(jīng)濟世界中,沒有一個國家可以完全自給自足。
In the complex economic world, no country can be completely self-sufficient 2.隨著制造業(yè)和技術(shù)的發(fā)展,出現(xiàn)了另一個刺激貿(mào)易的因素,即國際專業(yè)化。
With the development of manufacturing and technology, there arose another incentive for trade, i.e.international specialization 3.按照比較利益學說,兩個貿(mào)易伙伴均可從貿(mào)易中得到好處。
According to the theory on comparative advantage both trade partners can benefit from trade.4.比較利益并不是一個靜止的概念,一個國家可以通過自己的行為發(fā)展某種特定的比較利益。Comparative advantage is not a static concept.A country may develop a particular comparative advantage through its own action 5.比較利益理論已成為現(xiàn)代國際貿(mào)易思想的基石。
The idea of comparative advantage has become the cornerstone of modern thinking on international trade
6.根據(jù)絕對利益理論,只有當一個國家生產(chǎn)的某一商品對另一個國家具有絕對優(yōu)勢時,貿(mào)易才會發(fā)生。According to the absolute advantage theory, trade occurs only when each country has an absolute advantage over the other in the production of one commodity.(六)
1.一件商品的成本會因生產(chǎn)規(guī)模擴大而減小。
The cost of a product will decrease with the expansion of production scale 2.在實際中,即使完全的專業(yè)化在經(jīng)濟上有利,也可能永遠不會發(fā)生。
In reality, complete specialization may never take place even though it is economically advantageous
3.配額或者說數(shù)量限制是最常見的關(guān)稅壁壘。
Quotas or quantitative restrictions are the most common form of non-tariff barriers 4.國家從事貿(mào)易種類是多樣的,復雜的,往往是有形貿(mào)易和無形貿(mào)易的混合。
The kinds of trade nations engage in are varied and complex, often a mixture of visible and invisible trade.5.貿(mào)易不是建立在兩個國家生產(chǎn)能力上而是建立在不同的消費偏好上。Trade will be based not on difference in the production capabilities of the two countries but on different consumption preferences 6.各國政府經(jīng)常采取的貿(mào)易保護主義措施是貿(mào)易壁壘,典型的例子是關(guān)稅和配額。
Protectionist measures which are often taken by governments are also barriers to trade and typical examples are tariffs and quotas.7.由于戰(zhàn)略或國內(nèi)的原因,一個國家可能繼續(xù)生產(chǎn)不具備優(yōu)勢的產(chǎn)品。
For strategic or domestic reasons, a country may continue to produce goods for which it does not have an advantage 8.有形貿(mào)易指貨物的進出口貿(mào)易而無形貿(mào)易涉及的是國家間的勞務(wù)交換。Visible trade,.which involves the import and export of goods,there is also invisible trade, which involves the exchange of services between countries.(七)
1.包裝需按運輸?shù)囊筮M行,在大多數(shù)情況下,賣方明確知道把貨物安全地運到目的地所需要的包裝。Packing should be made according to the requirement of transportation.In most cases, the seller knows clearly the particular type of packing required for transporting the goods safely to destination.2.在許可情況下,應(yīng)通知買方在賣方將貨物啟運之時或之前安排驗貨。除非合同另有規(guī)定,否則賣方必須支付為其自身利益而安排的驗貨費用。
In many cases, the buyer shall be notified to go through the inspection of goods at or before the time of shipment.Unless otherwise specified, the buyer is supposed to undertake the charges of inspection thus incurred for his own sake.3.進口商可以通過可轉(zhuǎn)讓的運輸單據(jù)將貨物在運輸途中賣給新的賣方,這類可轉(zhuǎn)讓單據(jù)用起來非常方便。very convenient for use The importer can sell the goods to a new buyer while they are being carried by means of negotiable shipping documents which are 5.2000年對國際貿(mào)易術(shù)語解釋通則的修改考慮了無關(guān)稅區(qū)的發(fā)展,商務(wù)活動中電子通訊使用的增加以及運輸方式的變化。The 2000 revision of Incoterms took account of the spread of customs-free zones, the increased use of electronic communication, and the changes in transport practices 6.如果貨物丟失或受損或因某種原因沒有運到,買賣雙方的信任就會下降可能會嚴重到引起法律糾紛的地步。If they are lost or damaged, or if delivery does not take place for some other reason, the climate of confidence between parties may degenerate to the point where a law suit is brought 7.買賣雙方在制定合同時,如果有理解一致的具體規(guī)則可供參考,他們就肯定簡單可靠的確定各自的責任。If, when drawing up their contract, buyer and seller have some commonly understood rules to specifically refer to , they can be sure of defining their respective responsibilities simply and safely
(八)1.合同依法實施,未能履行合同義務(wù)的一方可能受到起訴,并被強制做出賠償。
A contract is enforceable by law, and the party that fails to fulfill his contractual obligations may be sued and forced to make compensation.2.口頭業(yè)務(wù)協(xié)商指的是面對面的直接談判或通過國際長途電話進行的商談。Oral business negotiations refer to face-to-face discussions or those conducted through international trunk calls 3.買方發(fā)出的詢盤時為了獲得擬定購商品的有關(guān)信息,它對發(fā)出詢盤的人無約束力。Enquiries made by the buyer are to get information about the goods to be ordered and are not binding on the inquirer 4.有效期對于實盤是必不可少的。在規(guī)定的時間之前,或在被對方接受或拒絕之前發(fā)盤一直是有效的。The validity period is indispensable to a firm offer, that remains valid until a stipulated time or until it is accepted or rejected
5.還盤是對發(fā)盤的拒絕,一旦做出還盤,原報盤即將失效而失去約束力。
A counter-offer is a refusal of the offer which will be invalid and unbinding once a counter-offer is made
6.還盤可以針對發(fā)盤中的價格、付款條件、裝運時間或其他條款而提出。A counter-offer may be made in relation to the price, terms of payments, time of shipment or other terms and conditions of the offer 7.合同背面的規(guī)定是合同的組成部分,對合同雙方同樣具有約束力The stipulations on the back of the contract are constituent parts of the contract and are equally binding upon the contraction parties
(九)1.對銷貿(mào)易一般是與有關(guān)國家的政治目標相互聯(lián)系的,如應(yīng)對外匯短缺和擴大出口之類的問題。objectives in these countries As counter trade often takes place in less developed economies and in centrally planned economies, it is often related with policy 2.實際上,反向貿(mào)易指的是各種貨物和服務(wù)的直接交換。Fundamentally, counter trade refers to the direct exchange of assorted kinds of goods and services
3.回購貿(mào)易和互購貿(mào)易之間另一個重要的區(qū)別在于回購貿(mào)易一般比互購貿(mào)易要延續(xù)更長一段時間。Another important difference is that a buyback deal usually stretches over a longer period of time the a counter purchase deal 4.在正常的市場交易中,由于使用貨幣及市場手段,貨物的買與賣是分別進行的。In normal market transactions buying and selling of goods are unbundled because of the use of money and the market
5.盡管有很多好處,反向貿(mào)易可能是風險很大的事。
Despite all its advantage, counter trade can be very risky business
6.在其他貿(mào)易方式中還有加工貿(mào)易、寄售、租賃貿(mào)易、代理等。
Among other modes of trade are processing trade, consignment, leasing trade, agency etc
7.對銷貿(mào)易成為一個將賣方的出口,從買方的進口聯(lián)系起來的跨國界合同的術(shù)語總稱。Counter trade has become the generic term to describe a set of cross-border contracts that link a seller’s exports to imports from the buyer
(十)1.在國際貿(mào)易中進出口雙方都面臨風險,因為總存在對不履約的可能。In international trade, both the exporter and importer face risks as there is always the possibility that the other party may fail to fulfil the contract
2.為處理國際貿(mào)易中的不同形勢,各種支付方法便發(fā)展了起來。Various methods of payment have been developed to cope with different situations in international trade
3.許多國際交易是通過匯票支付的,匯票是對銀行是顧客的支付命令。A lot of international transactions are paid for by means of the draft, which is an order to a customers to pay
4.即期付款交單要求進口商立即付款以取得單據(jù)。Documents against payment at sight requires immediate payment by the importer to get hold of the documents
5.就出口商而言,即期付款交單比遠期付款交單有利,付款交單比承兌交單有利。So far as the exporter’s interest is concerned D/P at sight is more favorable than D/P after sight, and D/P is more favorable than D/A
(十一)1.在國際貿(mào)易中,幾乎不可能使付款和實際交貨同時進行。In international trade it is almost impossible to match payment with the physical delivery of the good
2.信用證付款方式對買賣雙方都提供保障。The method of payment by the letter of credit offers security to both the seller and the buyer
3.第一次世界大戰(zhàn)后,信用證得到了實質(zhì)性的發(fā)展。
Credits had substantial development after the First World War
4.要么因為信用證金額過大,要么因為對開證行不完全信任,出口商有時可能需要保兌的信用證。Either because the credit amount is too large, or because he does not fully trust the opening bank, the exporter may sometimes require a confirmed letter of credit
5.信用證的形式、長短、語言和規(guī)定各不相同。
Letters of credit are varied in form, length, language and stipulations
6.雙邊保證是信用證獨特的具有代表性的特征。
The bilateral security is the unique and characteristic feature of the letter of credit 7.信用證不但保所購貨物就是發(fā)票所開或所裝運的貨物。It does not guarantee that the goods purchased will be those invoiced or shipped
8.銀行只關(guān)心代表貨物的單據(jù)而不是所寄予的合同,銀行對于貨物是否符合合同不承擔法律責任。The banks are only concerned with the documents representing the goods instead of the underlying contracts.They have no legal obligation whether the goods comply with the contract
(十二)1.信用證按其作用、形式和機制分作不同的種類。
Letters of credit are classified into different types according to their function, form, and mechanism
2.光票信用證主要用于非貿(mào)易結(jié)算,而在商品貿(mào)易中一般使用跟單信用證付款。Clean letters of credit are mainly used in non-trade settlement, while documentary credits are generally used in commodity trade
3.在即期信用證情況下,提示匯票和正確無誤的單據(jù)后便立即付款。In the case of sight credits, payment can be made promptly upon presentation of draft and impeccable shipping documents
5.如果信用證可以有原受益人轉(zhuǎn)讓給另一個或幾個人,那么這種信用證即為可轉(zhuǎn)讓信用證。A letter of credit is called transferable if it can be transferred by its original beneficiary to one or more parties 6.對于一筆具體交易來說,信用證不一定是最理想的付款方式,締約雙方應(yīng)根據(jù)具體情況做出最好的選擇。The letter of credit may not be the most ideal method of payment for a particular transaction, and the contracting parties should make their best choice according to the specific conditions 7.如果允許分批裝運,信用證可以同時轉(zhuǎn)讓給多個受益人。Transferring a credit to more than one party at the same time is allowed provided partial shipments are permitted
(十三)1.在國際貿(mào)易中使用正確的單據(jù)很重要,否則進口商提貨時會遇到困難。It is very important to use correct documents in international trade, otherwise the importer will have difficulties in taking delivery of the goods
2.商業(yè)發(fā)票,一般稱“發(fā)票”這種單據(jù)對貨物的質(zhì)量和數(shù)量以及單價和總價進行概括性描述。The commercial invoice, generally called the invoice makes a general description of the quality, quantity, unit price, and total value of the goods
3.貨物在運輸過程中可能發(fā)生風險損失,需要辦理貨物保險。It is necessary to insure the goods against the possible risks they are exposed to in the course of transportation.4.已裝船提單表明貨物已實際裝上開往目的港的承運船只。An on board bill of lading indicates that the goods have been actually loaded on board of the carrying vessel bound for the port of destination
5.清潔提單指貨物在表面狀況良好的情況下裝船,這意味著提單上未加任何有關(guān)包裝或貨物外表不良的批注。A clean bill of lading refers to one that indicates the goods have been shipped in apparent good order condition, which means it is devoid of any qualifying remarks about the packing and the outer appearance of the goods
6.簽發(fā)保險單的日期可以早于提單的簽發(fā)日,但絕不能遲于提單簽發(fā)日。The date on which the document can be made earlier but by on means later than the date of the bill of lading
(十四)1.毫無疑問,一個沒有先進的運輸系統(tǒng)的社會仍然是一個原始落后的社會。There is no doubt that a society without an advanced transportation system remains primitive
2.這些方式在運作特點和性能方面不同。從而使它們各有比較優(yōu)勢和劣勢,五種運輸方式是水路、鐵路、公路、管道、航空。The modes differ in terms of operating characteristics and capabilities, giving them comparative advantages and disadvantages.The five major modes are water, rail, truck, pipeline and air
3.過去10年,公司自己提供運輸能力的傾向越來越大。The past decade has seen an increasing tendency among business firms to provide their own transportation capability.4.作為一個社會,我們現(xiàn)在的生活比完全自給自足時更富裕、更消閑。As a society, we enjoy a richer and more leisurely life than we would be in a totally self-sufficient community

第五篇:淺談商務(wù)英語翻譯
淺談商務(wù)英語翻譯
本文圍繞商務(wù)英語翻譯的特點、提高商務(wù)英語翻譯能力的方法和商務(wù)英語翻譯應(yīng)注意的事項三個主題展開論述,以求在今后的翻譯工作中做到運用自如
1.引言
商務(wù)英語是一種包含各種商務(wù)活動內(nèi)容、滿足商業(yè)需要的專門用途英語。其內(nèi)容涉及貿(mào)易、金融、法律、廣告等諸多專業(yè),除外貿(mào)英語書信、合同等商業(yè)公文外,廣告、仿單、經(jīng)貿(mào)文章,相關(guān)法律公文等都可列入其中。因此,商務(wù)英語的語言現(xiàn)象比較復雜,文字風格也各不相同,翻譯時是很難全憑某些程式,套語或經(jīng)驗來解決。但是就其重要性而言,商務(wù)英語的翻譯在雙方貿(mào)易中起著橋梁紐帶的作用,甚至與整個公司的命運緊密聯(lián)系在一起,所以我們在翻譯過程中應(yīng)根據(jù)某專業(yè)的特點和需要好好斟酌所選用的詞匯。商務(wù)英語翻譯的困難在于如何準確而又流暢地翻譯出原語所要真正傳達的信息,而解決這一問題的關(guān)鍵是如何在理論上和實踐上加深對翻譯的認識和了解。
馬會娟在《商務(wù)英語翻譯教程》(2004)一書中指出:商務(wù)英語翻譯教程翻譯是一種思想交流過程,它能使通曉不同語言的人通過了解原文所包含和傳達的信息來交流思想。美國翻譯理論家奈達認為翻譯是“用最貼近而又自然的對等語言再現(xiàn)原語的信息,首先是意義,其次是文體?!币簿褪钦f,翻譯要用自然、地道的譯入語把另一種語言所表達的內(nèi)容以切合原文的文體,準確而完整地重新表達出來。
商務(wù)英語翻譯是一種跨文化的語際交流,它要求譯者熟悉多種文化,掌握語言運用技巧,具備熟練的語言知識,從而完成具有一定語用目的的商業(yè)文化交流。提高商務(wù)英語翻譯技能就應(yīng)關(guān)注商務(wù)英語的語言文化關(guān)聯(lián),巧妙靈活的達到原語的語言運用目的。在商務(wù)英語翻譯工作中應(yīng)靈活處理因不同文化背景、語言表達習慣等因素造成的交際障礙,根據(jù)語境做必要的調(diào)整,避免語用失誤,造成交流和理解的困難。雖然奈達的功能對等原則在文化因素翻譯方面有一些負面作用,但是對于商務(wù)英語翻譯仍舊具有重大的意義,尤其是在以往歷史上文化因素的翻譯中起到了非常積極的作用。奈達的功能對等原則以交際為目的,以讀者為中心,以目的語文化為歸宿,避免了文化沖突,克服了文化障礙,促進了雙方的文化交流。
2.研究現(xiàn)狀
在國際貿(mào)易日益頻繁的今天,很多企業(yè)為拓寬自己的市場,放眼國外以提高自己品牌的知名度和經(jīng)濟效益,因此商務(wù)英語翻譯越來越為人們所重視。商務(wù)英語翻譯的重要性,可以說,在一定程度上,決定了這個公司在國際上的潛力,就像一所學校的師資力量對于這所學校的發(fā)展起著決定性作用一樣。在國內(nèi),類似商務(wù)英語翻譯的書籍也應(yīng)運而生,進一步促動了中國對外貿(mào)易的進程。尤其在改革開放后,隨著國際貿(mào)易的不斷增加,越來越多的專家和學者對商務(wù)英語翻譯展開了研究,并撰寫了諸多的論文,如:段夢敏的“現(xiàn)代商務(wù)英語翻譯策略”,來東慧的“商務(wù)英語翻譯中的跨文化因素”等;此類的教材也應(yīng)運而生,如馬會娟的《商務(wù)英語翻譯教程》;周振邦的《商務(wù)英語翻譯》,葉玉龍、王文翰、段云禮合著的《商務(wù)英語漢譯教程》等。商務(wù)英語翻譯將繼續(xù)成為商務(wù)英語研討會的主題、各大院校開設(shè)的主要課程及各有關(guān)學者關(guān)注和研究的方向。
3.商務(wù)英語翻譯的特點
3.1 準確性
翻譯是把一種語言所表達的內(nèi)容用另一種語言準確地表達出來。為了使不通曉原語的讀者能夠看得明白,譯文表達應(yīng)該簡潔明了。最重要的是,翻譯的原則和標準應(yīng)當忠實和通順?!爸?/p>
實”主要是指譯者要準確地表達原作者的意思,并且要表達全面;“通順”是指譯文語言要通順易懂,便于讀者的理解和接受。
例1:
原文:This support can be as detailed as the writing of contracts, for example, looking at shareholder structure or analyzing investment concepts.It can mean up-dating a company’s development concept, help in improving a company’s management or in modernizing its recruitment, marketing or distribution.It also means support in identifying new partners, in opening up international markets or in bringing the company to the point where it can go public or be sold.原譯文:公司提供的支持包括撰寫合同,分析股東結(jié)構(gòu)或投資理念等。這意味著更新一個公司的發(fā)展理念,使其經(jīng)營或招聘機制更趨現(xiàn)代化,改善其市場營銷和銷售策略。此外,這一支持系統(tǒng)還意味著我們能協(xié)助客戶在國際市場上找到新的合作伙伴,幫助他們上市和出售。分析:將本譯文與原文相比,可以看出譯文多處翻譯不夠準確,令人費解。比如,原文說的是公司的提供的支持 “as detailed as the writing of contracts”(像撰寫合同一樣具體。)而原譯文則是“包括撰寫合同”;原文“in improving a company’s management or in modernizing its recruitment, marketing or distribution”(改善公司經(jīng)營管理,使其招聘機制、市場營銷和銷售更趨現(xiàn)代化),而原譯文則成了“使其經(jīng)營或招聘機制更趨現(xiàn)代化,改善其市場營銷和銷售策略”;原文的“identifying new partners, opening up international markets”(尋找新的合作伙伴,開拓國際市場),在原譯文中卻成了“協(xié)助客戶在國際市場上找到新的合作伙伴”!這種似是而非的翻譯,使原文信息大為失真,不僅極有可能誤導讀者,而且可能給公司造成很大的損失。
修改后譯文:我們提供的支持就像撰寫合同一樣具體,如:幫助分析股東結(jié)構(gòu)或投資理念,也就是說幫助更新一個公司的發(fā)展理念,改善其經(jīng)營管理,使其招聘機制、市場營銷和銷售更趨現(xiàn)代化。此外,這一支持還包含為公司尋找新的合作伙伴、開拓國際市場以及他們的上市和出售。
3.2 專業(yè)性
各行各業(yè)都有其不同的文化背景、特點及要求,并有其特定的專業(yè)術(shù)語。在翻譯過程中,如果譯者不能吃透其專業(yè)特點和掌握其專業(yè)術(shù)語,翻譯結(jié)果則可能大相徑庭。如,due diligence 在商務(wù)英語中不應(yīng)譯為“適當盡職”,而是“盡職調(diào)查”;option plan 應(yīng)為“期權(quán)計劃”,而不是“職工購買股票計劃”等。
例2:
原文: Next, the participation agreements are negotiated and – if agreed – they are signed and certified by a lawyer.原譯文:然后,雙方就公司參與企業(yè)管理的問題進行磋商,如果達成共識,就會在協(xié)議上簽字,并由一名律師公證。
分析:律師是不能公證的,只能見證合同的簽署;公證是公證員的事。
修改后譯文:然后,雙方對提出的協(xié)議進行磋商,如果達成共識,雙方在協(xié)議上簽字。這一過程由一名律師進行見證。
例3:
原文:After we have checked the L/C carefully, we request you to make the following amendment: “Partial shipments and Transshipment allowed”.原譯文:經(jīng)過仔細核對信用證,茲要求貴方做如下修改:“允許部分轉(zhuǎn)運和轉(zhuǎn)船”。分析:將“Partial shipments”譯成“部分轉(zhuǎn)運”似乎欠妥;行話應(yīng)是“分批”。
修改后譯文:經(jīng)仔細核對信用證后,茲要求貴方做如下修改:“允許分批運貨和轉(zhuǎn)船”。
3.3 文化性
由于東、西方種族、地理環(huán)境、宗教信仰等存在的差異,造成了東西方國家大相徑庭的文化體系,商務(wù)英語翻譯中也不可避免地受到文化的限制和影響。而我們所要做的就是在翻譯時,選詞要多斟酌,做到慎之又慎,以免造成“文化沖突”,引起不必要的麻煩。
例如:在美國的大商場有“rest room”,譯成中文的“休息室”就會出笑話,因為“rest room”在此指“廁所”,而并非國際機場里所指的“休息室”。
又如:在西方,“十三”被認為是不吉利的數(shù)字,這與圣經(jīng)故事中耶穌被他的第十三個門徒猶大出賣有關(guān)。所以,在西方國家,人們通常避免使用“十三”這個數(shù)字,正如中國人避免說或用數(shù)字“四”一樣,(在中國,“四”與“死”同音)。在中國的傳統(tǒng)文化中,數(shù)字“十三”沒有這種文化含義,也就不忌諱使用了。但隨著西方文化的深入影響,近來“十三”這種隱性的含義也被國人所接受。因此,我們在做翻譯中應(yīng)特別注意類似的問題。否則我們會在無意識間傷害對方或造成誤會。
4.提高商務(wù)英語翻譯能力的方法
中國加入WTO后,越來越多的中國企業(yè)已不滿足國內(nèi)市場,他們紛紛跨出國門,走向世界去尋求業(yè)務(wù)合作。英語作為溝通語言的作用非同小可。外貿(mào)談判是一種交際活動,是拓展對外貿(mào)易的重要途徑。交際活動則必須通過語言媒介來完成。因此,如何使用語言表達意愿和要求,如何恰當使用語言來表達談判目的,這是商務(wù)英語使用者經(jīng)常探索的問題之一。
4.1 熟悉英語相關(guān)專業(yè)知識
商務(wù)英語的翻譯較普通英語翻譯而言,其范圍更廣,涉及的內(nèi)容也更多。如果說普通的英語翻譯注重的是文化底蘊,那么商務(wù)英語的翻譯則注重的是知識面。因此,我們在學習翻譯理論的同時,應(yīng)加強商務(wù)方面的知識,比如:國際貿(mào)易,國際兌匯,會計學,運輸學等方面的知識。同時,還需要我們有比較豐富的法律知識和文化素養(yǎng)。商務(wù)英語翻譯的人員對本國和他國經(jīng)濟領(lǐng)域的法律法規(guī)也應(yīng)該有所了解,因為在商業(yè)活動中,一方在必要的時候,需要用合作對象國家的法律來維護自己的權(quán)利。在翻譯一些協(xié)議或合同時,還需注意到各自的法律責任,以此保證各方的經(jīng)濟行為是正當?shù)模粫蟹缮系娘L險。近些年來屢次發(fā)生的反傾銷斗爭就是實例,因此在商務(wù)英語翻譯過程中謹慎為上。
4.2 了解文化差異
上面提到了商務(wù)英語翻譯中的文化性原則,為了更好地遵循這個原則,我們就必須了解文化差異,以免引起不必要的文化沖突。每個民族都有著其不同的文化背景,風土人情,而語言作為某種文化的載體,所反映出來的是一個民族的意志與底蘊。翻譯作為一種加強文化交流的手段,更加會涉及到這方面的問題。尤其是在商務(wù)英語翻譯中,稍有不慎便會引起重大損失以及尷尬。
比如:“dragon”(龍)這個詞是我們中華民族的象征,是中國的吉祥物,“龍騰虎躍、龍馬精神、龍飛鳳舞、龍吟虎嘯”等成語均體現(xiàn)了龍的精神和氣勢。而在西方國家“dragon”這個詞卻是罪惡的象征。因此在翻譯“韓國,中國臺灣,香港和新加坡亞洲四小龍”的時候,我們不用“Four Asian Dragons”,而用“Four Asian Tigers”。這就是文化差異的典型表現(xiàn)??偠灾?,在翻譯中我們必須盡量了解他國的文化與差異,并做出正確的翻譯,以免造成不必要的誤解。
4.3 掌握商務(wù)英語語言技巧
目前,語言技巧在商務(wù)活動中逐漸被忽略,我們需要進一步去研究。各種語言技巧在商務(wù)英語談判中有不同的運用特點,以及語言技巧在外貿(mào)談判中的作用,進一步分析外貿(mào)談判英語語言特征,從而幫助外貿(mào)談判工作者認識到英語語言在商務(wù)英語談判中的運用技巧,使他們能靈活運用語言技巧,取得談判成功。了解語言的特征的有助于談判員有效地使用一些技巧,這樣能更確保在談判中取得勝利。有大量的語言技巧值得我們仔細研究,掌握了這些技巧不
僅能促進談判的進程,而且在談判過程中也不會使對方感到尷尬。因此,談判順利地完成,在商務(wù)英語談判中談判員就必須注意語言交流及技巧的使用。
4.4 遵循翻譯原則
商務(wù)英語的翻譯要求做到準確和專業(yè)化,這就要求翻譯者具有相當熟練的英語水平。平時,我們必須廣泛閱讀商務(wù)英語的知識,并且注意語言與案例的結(jié)合,然后通過分析來掌握商務(wù)英語知識點。同時,商務(wù)英語翻譯并不像文學英語的翻譯那樣,需要用豐富的詞藻來描繪,它所要做到的就是“精、準”。因此商務(wù)英語不需要過多、過詳細地描述某件事情,我們要做到是“精煉而又不失準確”。
綜上所述,我們必須謹遵翻譯的原則,努力把翻譯做到精益求精。
5.商務(wù)英語翻譯應(yīng)注意的事項
5.1 注意細節(jié)問題
我們都知道,英漢對譯中的一大特點便是英語重靜態(tài),漢語重動態(tài)。在漢語的表達過程中,我們經(jīng)常運用動詞來描繪,使得句子更加生動。因此,在商務(wù)英語翻譯過程中,我們也應(yīng)該時刻注意這些細節(jié)問題。
例4:
原文:An increase in business requires an increase in the amount of money coming into general circulation.譯文:交易增加,要求流通的貨幣量也增加。
分析:英文原文中用了2個“increase”的名詞形式來表達,而在中文翻譯中,則選用了動詞,尊重了漢語的特點。
古人云“一字值千金”。在商務(wù)英語中我們必須做到一個“準”字,以免造成“失之毫厘,謬以千里”的結(jié)果。標點符號亦是如此,在書寫金額時,要注意小數(shù)點(.)與分節(jié)號(,)的位置,絕對不能馬虎。在商務(wù)英語翻譯的過程中,因為涉及到商業(yè)系統(tǒng)的規(guī)則與交易利潤,這些細節(jié)上的問題需引起我們特別的注意?!凹毠?jié)”決定成敗,這句話很有道理。
5.2 不斷加強實踐能力
正所謂“實踐是檢驗真理的唯一標準”,書本上的知識只能代表我們擁有了理論能力,但工作的能力是靠實際的鍛煉得到培養(yǎng)的。如果我們?nèi)狈崙?zhàn)經(jīng)驗,在翻譯工作中很可能會上當受騙。例如,在外商草擬的合同草案中,我們不僅要理解其字面意思,更要弄清其潛在含義。當買方要求賣方提供某些與設(shè)計或技術(shù)有關(guān)的資料、數(shù)據(jù)、公式時,賣方很可能會用合同上的諸如 “The seller shall submit the data concerned to the buyer if possible”(如果可能,賣方將向買方提供有關(guān)數(shù)據(jù))之類的句子推脫。因為“如果可能(possible)”在很大程度上意味著“不可能(impossible)”??傊?,我們必須通過不斷的實踐來豐富自我,鍛煉自我,提高我們的判別能力和工作能力。
結(jié)論
商務(wù)英語翻譯是一種跨文化的語際交流,它要求譯者熟悉多種文化,掌握語言運用技巧,具備熟練的語言知識,從而完成具有一定語用目的的商業(yè)文化交流。提高商務(wù)英語翻譯技能就應(yīng)關(guān)注商務(wù)英語的語言文化關(guān)聯(lián),巧妙靈活的達到原語的語言運用目的。在商務(wù)英語翻譯工作中應(yīng)靈活處理因不同文化背景、語言表達習慣等因素造成的交際障礙,根據(jù)語境做必要的調(diào)整,避免語用失誤,造成交流和理解的困難。雖然奈達的功能對等原則在文化因素翻譯方面有一些負面作用,但是對于商務(wù)英語翻譯仍舊具有重大的意義,尤其是在以往歷史上文化因素的翻譯中起到了非常積極的作用。奈達的功能對等原則以交際為目的,以讀者為中心,以目的語文化為歸宿,避免了文化沖突,克服了文化障礙,促進了雙方的文化交流。
可以這么說,商務(wù)英語翻譯不僅關(guān)系著個人的命運,而且也關(guān)系著公司的前途和國家的形象。
商務(wù)英語的重要性決定了我們必須認真對待商務(wù)英語翻譯,而認真對待的前提就是遵守翻譯理論中的準確性、專業(yè)性、文化性這三個原則,這樣才能力求在翻譯實踐中做到少犯低級錯誤。在此基礎(chǔ)上,我們應(yīng)多學理論知識,充實自己的頭腦。機會是留給有準備的人的,所以我們必須做到有所準備,這樣才能在翻譯過程中做到游刃有余、左右逢源。當然光靠理論知識是完全不夠的,正如上面提到的“實踐是檢驗真理的唯一標準”,我們也必須抓住機遇,多參加企業(yè)的商務(wù)活動,以加強自己的實踐能力,這樣既可以提高自己的翻譯能力,也可以鍛煉自己的實踐能力。
