1、旅游资料的汉译英,旅游资料,旅游资料是指以普通旅游者为对象,介绍旅游点的历史与现状、旅游点的特色等的各种资料。旅游资料属于对外宣传资料,旅游资料的汉译英即是为了吸引外国游客,传播中国文化,激发他们参观景点的兴趣、增加参观的兴趣,同时增加对中国历史、文化的了解。,翻译方法: 古地名、古官职、古年份的翻译 典故的翻译 景点名的翻译 饮食文化的翻译 旅游资料图片说明文字的翻译 句与篇章的翻译,一、古地名、古官职、古年份的翻译,把古时的地名、官衔及年份改写为现在的地名、官衔、年份蓉城新姿 new looks of Chengdu, Sichuan 春城暮色 sunset at Kunming, Yun

3、知识和解释原文含义,避免损 失其民族色彩形象性和联想意义:叶公好龙 Lord Yes love of dragons ( Lord Ye was do fond of dragons that he adorned his whole palace with drawing and carvings of them.

4、ost beautiful woman in Chinese history),(2) 补译、音译和意译结合:昭君出塞 Wang Zhaojuns Marriage to the King of the Xiongnu.(3) 意译向译文读者忠实地转达原文信息,有时要作适当的文化转换,如:“玉兔”为什么英译成“ Moon Rabbit ”而不译成“ Jade Rabbit”?原因在于:“玉免”乃我国神话中陪伴吴刚生活在月宫挂花树下的兔子,因此,它又成为月的代称。将它译成Moon Rabbit体现了我国古老文化的风味,这样翻译不易产生异解,不会误认为是玉做成的兔子。,三、景点名的翻译,景点名是旅

27、 “云外流春”直接拼写出来让外国读者不知其意,所以还需将其意翻译出来。 而普通外国人也很难知道苏东坡其人,因此译文增加了对苏东坡的介绍,说明了“云外流春”四个字的文物价值。,3)烟水苍茫月色迷,渔舟晚泊栈桥西。乘凉每至黄昏后,人依栏杆水拍堤。 这是古人赞美青岛海滨的诗句。青岛是一座风光秀丽的海滨城市,夏天酷暑,冬天严寒。西起胶州湾入海处的团岛,冬至崂山风景区的下清宫,绵延80多华里的海滨组成了一幅绚烂多彩的长轴画卷。Qingdao is a beautiful coastal city.
