商务英语中词汇特点及词义确定

商务英语中词汇特点及词义确定商务英语中词汇特点及词义确定一、引言中国经济的持续发展，跨国经济和文化的往来越来越频繁，作为一种世界语言，商务英语的学习与应用日趋受人重视。

如何把商务英语这个特殊语言文字转化为汉语，引起了更多学者的研究。

在作者看来，正确了解了常用词的含义及特点，可以帮助忠实准确地理解原文句子的意思，通顺地表达原文的内容。

本文将对常用商务英语词汇的特点加以归纳，分析，就翻译技巧做如下总结。

二、商务英语词汇的特点英语词汇的特点是“涵义范围比较宽，比较丰富多彩，词义对上下文的依赖性比较大，独立性比较小”。

普通英语中词汇如此，在商务英语中词汇更是如此，甚至还有如下其他特征：1、词汇的丰富性商务英语词汇的丰富性来源于商务英语语篇的丰富性。

商务英语语篇指在商务活动中使用的各种正式与非正式文件，具有实用性，多样性和行业性的特。

商务文体词汇的特点是以书面词汇为主，用词正式，严谨，规范，简短达意。

2、专业术语词汇数量可观商务英语拥有很多专业术语词汇，想要真正读懂商务英语文章，译者必须首先了解商务英语所涉及学科领域的相关知识，避免将专业术语词汇翻译的普通化，否则轻则闹笑话，重则将造成严重的经济损失。

3、古语词和外来词的引用商务英语出现了大量的古语词，我们经常用的有hereby( 下述)，hereof ( 由此)，whereas（鉴于）等等。

我们所接触的商务英语中使用的专业词汇和半专业词汇，大多数来于拉丁语，法语和希腊语还有其它一些比较古老的语言。

使用这些外来词，使商务英语文本更加正式。

4、缩略词的普遍使用商务英语中还出现了许多缩略语。

这些词的词义单一，简洁明了。

在使用时要保证规范同时减小误差；既可以又节省时间，又可以提高效率。

常用商务英语缩略语大致有，如 W/B (waybill or world bank 贴现汇票或世界银行)，FOB(free on board 离岸价) 等等。

三、商务英语中词义的确定商务英语在词汇应用方面具有很显着的特色。

商务英语的语言特点及翻译技巧

商务英语的语言特点及翻译技巧一、商务英语的语言特征(一)词汇特点1.词义准确，用词精炼商务活动的客观实践性要求商务英语必须致力于对事实的客观描述，陈述事物时要做到具体、明确，绝对不能使用模棱两可、笼统抽象的词语，特别是对商业合同和法律文件。

商务英语常常使用词义比较单一的词，而不使用词义多样的词，如使用previousto或priorto代替before;还大量运用同义词或近义词的词项重复来保证用词准确性与严密性，比如:methodsandprocedures(途径)、Customfeesandduties(税费)，等等。

此外，商务活动尤其追求时间效益，这就要求商务英语的措辞要尽量简明精炼，诸如公司内部的通知、联系客户的邮件信函等，用词都要讲究简练。

2.大量专业术语的使用商务英语以普通英语为基础，还包含国际贸易各个领域内的专业英语，诸如庞大繁杂的公式以及其他各类专业术语。

因此，商务英语的词汇必须包含众多规范化的专业用语。

比如:Marketeconomy(市场经济)、anti—dumpingmeas-ures(反倾销措施)。

此外，缩略词的使用是商务英语专业性强的突出表现。

缩略词的产生和运用，能够帮助解决商务英语中一些相对复杂的翻译难题，比如:L/C(信用证);D/p(付款交单)。

缩略语词义单一，简洁明了，既能保证规范，又可以节约时间，提高效率。

3.新词的产生与运用伴随着国际贸易的不断拓展，商务英语也在不断丰富发展着，主要表现为大量反映国际贸易的时展新趋势或先进技术等新词汇的出现。

这些新词汇大多属于复合词语，即按照特定顺序把几个词通过重新排列构成新的词汇。

比如当前信息时代背景下，产生了virtualstore(虚拟商店)、cy-bercash(电子货币)等新词汇。

新词的产生与运用赋予了商务英语更多的时代内涵，为其注入了新的发展活力。

(二)句法特点商务英语有着复杂且层次划分多样的句子结构，句式呈现出严谨、明朗的特征。

商务英语词汇特点及汉译技巧

商务英语词汇特点及汉译技巧商务英语属于应用语言的分支，其词汇专业性极强，语体规范正式，语句简洁明快。

正确地翻译这些词汇语句有助于译文读者准确地理解原文信息内容和文本功能。

本文通过一些实例，主要从词汇的角度分析商务英语的语言特征，简要阐述商务英语翻译过程中应把握的翻译技巧。

标签：商务英语词汇特征汉译技巧一、引言商务英语是一种特殊的英语，与普通英语相比，商务英语的词汇、句法、语体等方面都有自己的特点，在翻译上更要求精准、专业，以适应商务翻译的特殊性。

在把商务英语这种语言文字转化成汉语的过程中，译者只有正确地理解了词的含义，才能忠实、准确地理解原文句子的意思并通顺、流畅地表达原文的思想内容。

然而笔者在商务英语教学中发现，即便是一些使用十分频繁的词汇也很容易被误译。

这是因为在词汇极其丰富、词义比较灵活多变的现代英语中，一词多用、一词多义的现象极为普遍。

本文将围绕商务英语词汇特征，简要阐述一些商务英语的汉译技巧。

二、商务英语词汇特点词汇是语言最基本的单位，只有正确理解和翻译词汇，才能准确地翻译句子和篇章。

总的来看，商务英语词汇具有专业术语性、多用缩略语,以及普通词汇的半专业性等特点。

1. 商务英语词汇具有很强的专业性商务英语在词汇使用上的最大特点是对专业词汇的精确运用，其中包含大量专业词汇、具商务含义的普通词或复合词，以及缩略词等。

如果在汉译时不懂相关专业技术知识，随意去选择词义或照搬字面意思，其结果不但会使译文失去其原文的规范性，也会使译文令人费解。

例如：confirmed L／C(保兑信用证)，irrevocable L／C(不可撤销信用证)，documentary L／C(跟单信用证)，revolving L ／C(循环信用证)，certificate of origin(原产地证明书)，shipping documents(装运单据)，issuing bank(开证行)等等。

在翻译这些专业术语的时候，在译文中也要体现出原文本的专业性和排他性，一定要做到术语翻译的准确性。

浅议商务英语的语言特点和翻译

浅议商务英语的语言特点和翻译商务英语是我国涉外经济活动中的主要交际语言，本文根据商务英语的词汇和句法特点，探讨了商务英语翻译方法。

标签：商务英语词汇句法翻译在国际贸易竞争日益激烈的今天，商务英语是我国涉外经济活动中的主要交际语言，必须了解商务英语的规律和特点才能做好翻译。

商务英语与普通英语没有本质的区别，但商务英语又是在不同的商务场景中运用的英语，因此具有其“商务”特色。

一、商务英语词汇特点与翻译词汇是语言的最基本单位，只有正确理解和翻译词汇，才能正确理解和翻译句子和文章。

一般来说，商务英语词汇具有术语性、普通词的专业性、简约性和繁复性等特点。

1.专业词汇及其翻译商务的范围很广，涉及国际贸易、经济金融、营销等多个领域，而每个领域都有自己的专业词汇，如国际贸易方面的Free on Board(船上交货)，Letter of Guarantee(银行保函)；经济方面的demand curve(需求曲线)，corporate charter(公司章程)；金融方面的foreign exchange market等等。

商务英语的专业词汇都是固定的，都有其特定的、精确的含义。

如备用信用证，只能用英语stand by credit 来表示，不能用spare credit来代替。

由于这些词汇意义比较单一，一词多义的现象较少，并且不带有感情色彩，所以应该采用直译的方式。

此外，在商务英语中，还有很多普通词汇用做专业词汇的例子。

一些普通名词用在商务英语里意思会发生变化，只有了解和掌握这些词和表达方法并运用自如，才能准确灵活地翻译。

例1:we have drawn on you for this invoice a mount at sight through the Bank of Nigeria, who have been instructed to hand over documents against payment of the draft.在例中，可以看到一些普通词汇用在专业英语中意思发生了变化，如drawn on you应翻译成“向你方开汇票”；at sight是“即期”的意思；document应译成“单据”；draft应译成“汇票”，而不是“草稿”。

商务英语词汇的特点及其翻译
李晓惠王萍
（九江学院外国语学院，江西九江３３２００５）
摘要：商务英语词汇的特点决定了商务英语有别于普通英语。因此涉及到商务英语翻译时，标准自然也有所不同。本文试从商务英语词汇特点入手，通过商务英语翻译事例分析，对商务英语翻译标准及术语翻译原则两方面作了初步的探讨，旨在译者对商务英语有充分认识并在翻译中做到游刃有余。
２．专业术语词汇数量可观专业术语是指适用于不同的学科领域或专业的词，是用来正确表达科学概念的词，具有丰富的内涵和外延。专业术语要求单义性，排斥多义性和歧义性，且表达专业术语的词汇都是固定的，不得随意更改。商务英语拥有数量可观的专业术语词汇，要真正读懂商务英语文章，译者必须懂得商务英语所涉及学科领域的相关知识，避免专业术语词汇普通化，否则轻则闹翻译笑话，重则将造成严重的经济损失。例如： “溢短装”、 “运费到付 ”、“ｂｒｅａｋ－ｂｕｌｋｖｅｓｓｅｌ”、“ｄｉｒｅｃｔａｄｄｉｔｉｏｎａｌ”、“ｉｎｓｕｒ－ａｎｃｅｃｅｒｔｉｆｉｃａｔｅ”、”空白抬头 ”等，从字面上看这些专业词汇很难翻译，但只要译者具有商务专业知识、了解每个词表达的内涵，就非常简单。可分别译为： “ｍｏｒｅｏｒｌｅｓｓ”、“ｆｒｅｉｇｈｅｔｔｏｃｏｌ－ｌｅｃｔ”、“杂货船 ”、“直航附加费 ”、“保险凭证 ”、“ｂｌａｎｋｅｎ－ｄｏｒｓｅｄ”。再例如下面两句：例（１）Ｊｕｓｔａｓｉｎｔｈａｔｙｅａｒ，ｗｈｅｎｔｈｏｓｅｃａｔａｓｔｒｏｐｈｅｓｗｅｒｅｆｏｌ－ｌｏｗｅｄｂｙｓｕｂｓｔａｎｔｉａｌｉｎｃｒｅａｓｅｓｉｎｉｎｓｕｒａｎｃｅｐｒｅｍｉｕｍｓ，ｉｎｓｕｒｅｒｓａｒｅａｌｒｅａｄｙｌｏｂｂｙｉｎｇｆｏｒｒａｔｅｒｅｌｉｅｆ．（译文：就像那年的情况一样，大灾之后保险金大幅度提高，现在保险公司已经在游说希望减免地方税。）例（２）Ｄｕｒｉｎｇｔｈｅ１９８０’ｓｔｈｅｌａｒｇｅｐｒｅｍｉｕｍｓｐａｉｄｉｎａｃｑｕｉ－ｓｉｔｉｏｎｏｆｔｅｎｒｅｓｕｌｔｅｄｉｎｐｒｉｃｅｓｔｈａｔｇｒｅａｔｌｙｅｘｃｅｅｄｅｄｔｈｅｖａｌｕｅｏｆｔａｎｇｉｂｌｅａｓｓｅｔｓ．（译文：２０世纪８０年代，并购中支付的大额溢价常常导致购买价格远远超过有形资产的价值。）从上两例又可看出，商务英语中的同一术语在商务不同领域中又呈现不同的词义。“ｐｒｅｍｉｕｍ”在保险业务中，译作 “保险金 ”，但在销售领域中应译为 “溢价 ”。这正是商务英语术语翻译的难点。三、商务英语翻译１．商务英语翻译标准由于商务英语使用越来越频繁，因此商务英语翻译逐渐引起各家学者的关注。各家学者对商务英语的翻译论述如下叶玉龙等指出： “对商务英语来说，翻译标准除‘忠实通顺’外，还应加上 ‘地道 ’”。张新红、李明认为， “商务英语翻译译者除了要精通两种语言及其文化以及熟悉翻译技巧之外，还必须熟悉商务方面的知识，了解商务各个领域的语言特点和表达法。 ” 常玉田谈到翻译的原则、标准时说： “翻译的最基本任务不是转换语言，而是传达‘意思’、‘信息’和‘内容’，所以，商务英语翻译不同于文学翻译和其它文体的翻译，它必须强调语义对等或等效，做到 “地道 ”，让读者有专业化的感受，而不是一般的语言描述。” 专家们的论述见仁见智，但正如王永泰先生所说的： “翻译标准不宜苟求全面统一，应视不同文体而定；若用‘信达雅’ 来衡量，则应有区别地有所侧重。”因此，我们认为：商务英语翻译的最高标准是“功能对等”，即经过翻译，译文与原文之间在信息内容、信息承载方式、交际目的和交际效果等方面最大限度地保持不变。再以严复的“信达雅”三字标准为基础，参照刘法公先生提出的 “忠实、准确、统一 ”的商务翻译标准，提出我们切实可行的商务英语翻译标准应是 “忠实（ｆａｉｔｈｆｕｌｎｅｓｓ）、地道（ｉｄｉｏｍａｔｉｃｎｅｓｓ）、统一（ｃｏｎｓｉｓｔｅｎｃｙ） ”。 “忠实 ”是 “功能对等 ”的必要条件， “地道 ”和 “统一 ”是 “功能对等 ”的充分条件。

商务英语的语言特点及翻译

Language Features and Translation of Business English商务英语的语言特点及翻译1. IntroductionSince the economic reform and opening up to the outside world in China, our business communication with other countries hsa become more and more frequent. The scope of economic exchange hsa also extended and more people are engaged in the work of business English translation. Though translation gets its appropriate treatment as an academic pursuit in China for a long history, it is not true of business translation. The traditional Chinese translation theories lay too much emphasis on literary translation, which results in great limitation. Particularly for business translation, whose festures are greatly ifferent from those of literary translation, traditonal translation theory is not so suitable. However, business translation has for a long time remained only a business translation in a functional view and been ignored by Chinese academic field. It is only recently that it has become the focus of attention. Up to now, there are not as many books or theses studying business translation as those that concern other kinds of translation in China, though there is rapid development in this area. But there are still many famous scholars who have made tremendous contributions to business translation in recent years. However, there are few books that offer systematic researches and concentrate on business translation and few theories are applied in business translation.Consequently, the systematic research on business translation and its suitable theories is urgent in China. Therefore, in the following parts of the paper, the translation of businss English on the basis of its own language features is discussed.2. The concept of business EnglishWith the development of the world economy's increasingly globalization, the interactions between China and the rest of the world is becoming more and more frequent. As China's foreign trade constantly forward development, nowaday, our country urgently need a large number of international commercial talents who are mastering foreign languages, understanding the business knowledge, being familiar with international business environment, and being good at cross-cultural communication. Business English is the main communicating language in China's foreign economic activities,which business English plays a role of bridge in this activity. Business English involves marketing, economics, accounting, finance, management science and so on many edge discipline knowledge, and business activities related to foreign trade, technology import, attractting investment, business negotiation, business contract, international business payment and settlement, and foreign insurance scope. Therefore, it is necessary to study the characteristics of business English itself, in order to be accurately regulate use in all fields. Business English is a social function of English variation, is special use a branch of English, English is in business occasions, the application is a contains various business activities suitable for business needs standard English business English to services the business activities as the goal, set practical professional and clear purpose in a body, for international business activities in the people that are identified and accept, and have strong social function of an English variant in today's economic development, international business activities in a world of increasingly frequent, including technology import foreign trade investment promotion foreign service contracting contract and international financial foreign insurance international travel overseas investment international transport business advertising, business activities, all related to the use of English, in all these activities Business English there are two kinds of style, which are formal style and application style. Business style is a style which forms with the production of commodity and the development of trade. The style of business English doesn't pay attention to the beauty of language, but rather stresses the clearity and organization of logic, the accurate rigor of thinking and the preciseness of structure. In the statement, its wording is specific clear andno equivocation. Courtesy is very important in style, which related to the personal accomplishment. Sometimes such little question is the key to success.3. The language features of business EnglishCompared commom English with business English which is a kind of special use language, both of them have similarity in the basic vocabulary, sentence patterns, and the use of grammar, but in specialty vocabulary, language characteristics and other aspects, business English has its own unique features. For this reason, only comprehensive grasp the characteristics of business English language, can people more comprehensive and deep understanding the expression meaning of business English.3.1 Formal and specialized wordingBusiness English involved in business time and business theory and more, and have strong professional. The vocabulary of business English is professional vocabulary, including a large number of professional terms, abbreviations, common words and compound words. Therefore, in the translation of business English , if you want to accurately express information of the original text and let the reader fully understand the original intention, the translator at this time must use the professional standard and equal terms during the ttranslation precess. In addition, when business English is translated, except for the master of two or more than two kinks of languages culture and translation skills, it must be able to manipulate business knowledge, to frequent analyse the context of the content, to master the professional terms of special meaning, more access data and dictionary, and to fundamentally do business English translation well. Because business English is connect with contract and other important documents, Business English is wording rigorous, refined and professional. Therefore, , in order to be accurate, without any deviation, wording must be accurate and precise. In the use of business English, except diction properly, it is necessary to use some inverted sentence, complex sentences, the passive voice and some structure complex clauses to modified sentences and restrictedcontent. Although this makes sentences relatively complex, the meaning is more complete and strict, and won't appear ambiguity when it is read. For example: Pleased to inform you that our counter sample will be sent to you by DHI by the end of this week and confirm it ASAP so that w e can start our mass production (很高兴通知您，我们的回样将于本周末用特快专递给您，请尽快确认，以便我们开始大批生产), in this sentence, "inform" is used as a object, besides the "that" clause and personal pronouns"you", there is a "so that" purpose adverbial clause in the sentence.Business English has a unique vocation characteristic, a highly professional and business terms. For example, in order to reflect the macroeconomic dynamic index, it basically express "国内生产总值(gross domestic product. GDP)" ,"国民生产总值(gross national product, GNP), etc. In the import and export, the term includes "商业发票"(eommereial invoice), "提单"(bill of landing), 汇票(draft/bill of e-ehange) and so on. Therefore, the language form, vocabulary and content of business Englishis is closely related with the profession, which is carrying the information of business practice and theory. In other words, language form, vocabulary, content, etc of business English is decided by its affiliated profession. It is the carrier of business practice, business theory knowledge, so that it must fully understand the meaning and connotation of business English, and equipe the knowledge of business theory and business practices and other aspects.3.2 Strong purpose and objectivityBusiness English is aiming at performing communication tasks, using communicative skills. In the business meeting, making a phone call and discussing the main scene is purposing. In order to see whether business English language applications have reached some kind of purpose, it must have to look at the time and trade which can get better results. In business English, using English on the trade, it lets others act according to the speaker's opinion, thus gets things wanting to get. In addition, in the use of business English, it must be objective, and avoid some personal colour and subjectivity language. According to the objective principle, the process of translation should realize its function for the expected standard. Fpr example, in the business activity of marketing, to achievebusiness promotion is the first principles of advertising translation. This principle decides that the translators should consider the following three factors in advertising translation: language style, readers' reaction and language culture. First of all, advertising translation must follow the advertising language style according to the original language. According to objectivity principle, business advertising translation should meet the target language style of the advertising language style, that is to say the language must be brief, concise, attractive, and try to make the extraordinary language.3.3 Words correct rigorousBecause business English used in international trade, both parties are in different countries or regions, there exists different language and culture differences, if using more complex business English or vocabulary in the trade, it is likely to produce misunderstandings in the trade between both sides. Therefore, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the international trade, the related letters in both sides using as a prat of trade, are certainly prevent by legal. In the process of trade, both parties, except for advertising styles, should ensure accuracy in using other words, and try to choose a single word or relatively simple to replace some abundant meaning words. Thus it makes both trade parties can fully understand the lexical meanings of each other, and ensures smooth completion of the transaction.When people use business English to express ideas, it is more tend to use the easily understanding words, and clear logical relationship to communicate, and use specific language, accurately convey the information to the others. Business English expresses accurate, not exaggerated, the content must be practical and realistic, especially ensure the accurate data and the strict terms. Communicating information should make the lowest limit themisunderstanding, and the less time spend as far as possible. So it is better have clear ideas, strong logic and logical words, such as "as a result", "for this reason". Expression must be concise, especially fax or phone, some familiar idea can use the term to express, in order to avoid redundant.4. Specific principles of and strategies for the translation of business English4.1 faithfulness principle in the translation of business English4.1.1 Faithfulness is the fundamental requirement for business English translation Business English translating is the primitive type of translating,fitting only for the most prosaic matters.To give a good translation the fidelity to the original text is indispensable and is the most essential. Faithfulness can be said to be the prime issue of good translation. As the genius and character of languages ie very different,it has hence become a common opinion, that it is the duty of a translator to attend only to the sense and spirit of his orginal, to make himself perfectly master his author's ideas, and tocommunicate them in those expressions which he judges to be best suited to convey them. In order to constitute a perfect translation, it is requisite that not only the ideas and sentiments of the orginal author should be converyed, but also his style and mannner of writing, which cannot be done whitout a strict attention to the arrangement of his sentences, and even to their order and construction.Tytler describes a good translation to be,that, in which the merit of the original work is so compltely transfused into another language, as to be as distinctly apprehended, and as strongly felt, by a native of the original work. He deduces three laws of translation which the dissertation's writer believes that they also suit business English translation as well. First, that the translation should give a complete transcript of the ideas of the original work. Second, the style and manner of writing should be of the same charavter with that of the original. Third, that the translatiion should have all the case of original composition. The first law reflects the faithfulness principle in trabslation though it suits all kinds of translation.4.1.2 Equivalence of the concept can assure the fidelity to the original text Faithfulness is the highest standard of judging the success of translation. Thus completely understanding the source language and finding equivalent for the original are the preconditions to guarantee the realization of faithfulness. Only when he really understands the essence of the original,can the translator find eqquivalent for the originaltext. In retrospective translation, the target text must be absolutcly faithful to the original text. In retrospective translation, the target text must be absolutely faithful to the original text. And translators need to saiisfy such requirement :1)to understand every word in the original text; 2) to choose the most equivalent word to the originalone; 3) to make the translation as a whole original text's exact equivalent form though tactical arrangement of the equivalent words. The discovery of textual equivalents is based on the authority of a competent bilingual informant or translator.A textual translation equivalent as defined by Catford is thus: that portion of a target language which is changed when and only when a giveen portion of the source language text is changed. Since chinese and English can conwert into cach other easily in replancing the subject, predicate, object, attribute, adverbial, and complement, equivalentss are of the simple eqal-rank and unit-to-unit type. Thus the translation somehow has character of sequential translation.4.2 Exactness principle in the translation of business EnglishThe principle of "exactness" and the application of this principle in business Engliish translation mean that, in the course of transmitting the original language content into the target language content, translators choose correct words, give exact expression, referring to right with the right name, and present accurate figurre and unit. A word or an idiomatic phrase-word, briefly a code-unit, may be fully interpreted only by means of an equivalent combination of code-units, that is, a message feferring to this code-unit:"every bachelor is an unmarried man, and erery unmarried man is a bachelor." Business English translation is connected with translators must not give free expression in translation.For translating leaners, maybe dictionaries are regarded as very useful tools that provide exact explanation of words. But at most times when translating, dictionaries cannot supply exact meaning all along. Translators must be particular about clearness, vividness, and easiness to understand of the translation text. A translator's task is to reveal the original content instead of its form. As the dicitionary is just a tool helpful to better understand the original text,translators must understand the original text with a correct method, that is tosay, starting from the author's point of view. Starting from the translator's angle to read the original work will not produce good translatiion. So translators should sink themselves into the thinking and fiiling if the source work during thorough reading. When metting a word translators shouldn't immediately think of an equialent word in their own mother language. They need to connect the original word with what it stands for.4.3 Consisteny principle in the translation of Business EnglishThe name, concept and term should be always consistent in translation but the consistency principle of business English translatiion to same extent depends on all translators' common errort and the authoritative agent'sunified rules. Some new words often bring trouble to transletors during the initial stage of its usage circulation. It is really not an easy task to decide how to translate these new words is better. The special term from English to Chinese seems easier to keep consistence than that from Chinese to English. When a term translated into Chinese is widely uesd and an increasing number of people come to know it, it becomes a fixed expression. It is easy to keeping consistence in later use of this term because Chinese is our mother tongue and we easily remenber and learn to use new terms. Many of economic knowledge may create new expression for these terms, such as "overwhelming superiority theory","relative advantage theory","original producing place","changeable currency" and so on. To translate general terms in economic field, translators should refer to international English commerce and trade literature, keeping the stability and consistency of the translated names. The general terms of Chinese almost have fixed expression in English, so translators take the responsibility of matching the translated names of the same concept in both languages.The translators of business English must have a good knowledge of business Chinese and business English, and also be familiar with business practice. It is a pity that the false translation of terms is relatively widespread. If the universal English terms are not used, readers of the translation text will not be able understand it, and translators cannot accomplish the task of transmitting messagess.5. ConclusionHaving introduced the theory of functional equivalence, surveyed some issues of business English translation and the language features of it, explored the applicability of functional equivalence and how it is achieved in business English translation, we are now in a position tomake a conclusion of the paper. On one hand, the thesis endeavors to approach business translation in a functional view, which gives a macro basis to the thesis. Based on the survey of theories of functionalists, the thesis proposes that the rule of function plus loyalty could be regarded as a reasonable principle of business translation and offers some convincingreasons.

商务英语信函的用词特点及其翻译技巧

商务信函是国际商务往来经常使⽤的联系⽅式，因⽽其⽤词要准确、恰当，⼜要正式，在翻译过程中应准确表达原⽂的信息;贴切再现原⽂的语⽓从⽽使译⽂符合公函⽂体的风格。

下⾯是店铺分享的商务英语信函的⽤词特点及其翻译技巧，欢迎⼤家阅读！⼀、商务英语信函的⽤词特点商务英语是英语的⼀种社会功能变体,是英语在商务场合中的应⽤,其追求的⽬标是⽤最准确、最清晰的商务语⾔进⾏最有效的沟通和交流。

很多知名学者从不同的⾓度对商务英语信函的⽤词特点进⾏研究,笔者认为商务英语信函的⽤词特点主要有以下三点。

1.使⽤专业词汇⼤多数商务与普通英语词汇相同,但商务语境赋予其特定的专业意义,⽽专业意义⼜因不同的业务范围⽽异。

因此,翻译专业词汇时需要熟悉这些惯⽤表达。

例如: (1)sales literature。

literature⼀词有“⽂学”,“资料”等意。

若将sales literature直译为“销售⽂学”则与国际贸易业务毫⽆关联,相⽐之下,译⽂“促销资料”更为贴切。

(2)Particular Average。

该词组中的Average源⾃法语,与英语中的risk意思相近,⽽不是⽇常⽤语中的“平均”之意。

该词组应译为“单独海损”,⽽⾮“特别平均”。

2.使⽤⼀词多义的词语商务英语中同⼀个单词在不同情况下含义⼤相径庭,这就需要译者认真理解,找出恰如其分的词语,准确通顺地表达出来。

笔者试举cover , collect两词并将这些词语的不同⽤法和含义加以⽐较说明。

如下所⽰: (1)Cover:作为名词时,有“保险”之意,例如:Insurancepolicy 保险单,cover note 承保单;作及物动词时,有“包括”,“⽀付”,“给…保险”之意,例如:The credit will cover the invoice, discounting, and any other bank charges.该信⽤证将包括发票⾦额、贴现利息及任何其他银⾏费⽤。

商务英语词汇的特点及其翻译

摘要：本⽂试从商务英语词汇特点⼊⼿，通过商务英语翻译事例分析，对商务英语翻译标准及术语翻译原则两⽅⾯作了初步的探讨，以使译者对商务英语有充分认识并在翻译中做到游刃有余。

关键词：商务英语；普通英语；术语；功能对等；术语对等商务英语源于普通英语，但⼜是普通英语与商务各领域专业知识的结合。

因此，商务英语除具有普通英语的语⾔学特征之外，⼜具有其独特性。

独特性之⼀就是：商务英语有许多完全不同于其它种类英语词汇之含义的词汇和专业术语。

因此，翻译商务英语语篇时，译者除掌握必要的翻译技巧外，还应具有商务专业知识。

本⽂拟从商务英语词汇的特点出发对商务英语翻译标准及商务英语术语对等翻译原则作⼀番探讨。

⼀、商务英语词汇的特点英语词汇的特点是“涵义范围⽐较宽，⽐较丰富多彩，词义对上下⽂的依赖性⽐较⼤，独⽴性⽐较⼩”。

也就是说当英语中词语孤⽴的时候，我们⽆法说出它的具体意义，因为它具有该词语在使⽤中可能具有的⼀切词义，只有依赖其所在的上下⽂或者该词语同其它词语的搭配或者组合关系我们才能辨别其具体意义，在普通英语中词汇如此，在商务英语中词汇更是如此，甚⾄商务英语词汇除此之外，还具有如下其它特征： 1、商务英语词汇的丰富性www.Ｅ商务英语词汇的丰富性来源于商务英语语篇的丰富性。

商务英语语篇指在商务活动中使⽤的各种正式与⾮正式⽂件，具有实⽤性、多样性和⾏业性的特点。

按照其语⾔表现形式，可归纳为公⽂体、⼴告体和论说体三类。

其中商务信函、合同、法律⽂书、通知等主要表现为公⽂体形式。

商务公⽂体词汇的特点是以书⾯词为主，⽤词正式、严谨、规范、简短达意。

商业⼴告主要表现为⼴告体形式，英语⼴告⽤词多趋于通俗化、⼝语化、简洁、⽣动、并富有⿎动性，其中可能包含⼤量的⼝语词、新造词、杜撰词、外来词。

商务英语论说多出现在为推⼴产品所做的报告或演讲中。

这类⽂体⽤词正式、严谨，因此以书⾯语词汇为主。

2、专业术语词汇数量可观专业术语是指适⽤于不同的学科领域或专业的词，是⽤来正确表达科学概念的词，具有丰富的内涵和外延，专业术语要求单义性，排斥多义性和歧义性，且表达专业术语的词汇都是固定的，不得随意更改。
