商务信函的翻译技巧
2、遵循“忠实，通顺”的翻译标准 首先，应当准确、忠实地再现原文信函的思想内容及风格特 征。准确达意、简洁明了是英文商务信函的基本特征，因此， 合格的译文也理应具备这些特征； 其次，由于商业信函与商业贸易业务往来有关，必然牵涉到 很多的商务术语，因而在翻译时尽量按照译文习惯使用的术 语来进行表达。例如： “I have the honor to notify you that we have commenced a business as commission agents for British goods.” 原译为： “我很荣幸地告知你我们已经开始了一项业务，来作为英国 货物的代理”。这句的翻译绝对忠实于原文，但却不能够达 到通顺的要求，让人读起来感到特别生硬，须调整语序译为： “我们已经开始了经营代销英国货物的业务，特此通告。”
三、在内容表达上要言简意赅，能够传达足够 信息且能够做到机智的表达。
商务信函通常是直接简练，开门见山，忌过分 修饰。一般根据写信者所要表达的中心思想分 段。正文每段的文字不会过长，尤其是开头和 结尾，更常以简短为宜。 例 1： “By this letter we would ask you to consider our proposal.”就不如”Please consider our proposal.” 简洁。
