【摘要】 中国是四大文明古国中现存最大的国度,自然、历史与文化景观美不胜收。自改革开放以来,中国的旅游业开始大步向前发展;2008年奥运会的成功举办,吸引了更多的外国游客。这一朝阳产业随着中国经济的发展,带来了越来越明显的“乘数效应”。在外国游客游览过程中,他们往往通过阅读旅游文本资料了解旅游景点的特色,因此,旅游景点和宣传手册的翻译成了吸引国外游客的砝码,而翻译的质量将直接影响外国游客对我国独特文化的了解。直到20世纪90年代,诸多翻译理论家和翻译学者才开始关注旅游翻译。目前在旅游文本的翻译过程中,译文质量存在一定的问题,国内诸多译者已经结合理论与实践提出了很多相关的技巧与策略,并从不同角度对旅游文本的翻译提出了改进措施,然而,其中的许多方法没有上升到理论的层次,也没有结合一个明晰的理论框架来对旅游文本翻译进行整体的分析和处理。针对这一现状,本文尝试结合主题信息突出策略原则和德国翻译学派功能目的论对旅游文本的翻译进行综合考量,并提出了一个新的翻译模式:经由主题信息突出策略原则改写过的中文旅游文本,在功能目的论的指导下取得最佳译文,以此促进旅游翻译的成熟与发展。论文导言部分介绍了中国旅游业的发展状况、目前国内旅游翻译的现状以及功能目的论用于旅游翻译的可行性。第一章是文献综述。第二章概述了旅游文本的翻译模式,包括对旅游文本的介绍、文本分析以及对旅游文本翻译的新旧模式进行比较。第三章提出了“主题信息突出策略原则”,并在此引导下进行汉英翻译过程中源语文本的改写。第四章是全文的重点。论文重点介绍了德国翻译学派的功能目的论以及该理论指导下的旅游文本翻译。第五章作者通过分析并借鉴诸多理论家的评论得出结论:如何选择并培养合格的译员。最后,借鉴德国功能翻译学派的观点“翻译目标决定翻译手段”,作者通过以上分析得出了旅游文本翻译的新模式。作者希望通过本文能够给旅游文本汉英翻译带来一定的启示,进一步提高旅游文本翻译的质量,并最大限度地将中国文化传递给外国读者。

【Abstract】 China is the largest of the four countries with an ancient civilization with rich natural, historical and beautiful cultural landscapes. Since the reform and opening up, China has made large steps forward on the road of tourism industry; especially after the successful holding of 2008 Olympic Games, China has attracted more foreign tourists. Tourism industry, the sunrise industry, has brought an increasingly obvious“multiplier effect”with the development of China’s economy. When foreign tourists visit China, they tend to know the tourist attractions and their features by reading tourism materials. Therefore, the translation of tourist attractions and brochures becomes the focus of foreign tourists, and the quality of the translation will have a direct impact on their understanding of China’s unique culture.Until the 1990s, a lot of translation theorists and scholars began to pay attention to the research of tourism translation. At present, in the process of translating tourism text, there are some problems, and lots of domestic translators have proposed some related skills and strategies combining theory and case analysis, and put forward measures from different angles. However, many of these methods have neither been related to some translation theories, nor to a clear theoretical framework to have an overall grasp of the tourism text translation.In view of this situation, this paper aims to make a comprehensive description of the tourism text translation, by combining the“theme-information highlighting principle”with the German functional Skopos Theory, and proposes a new model of translation as means of promoting the development of tourism text translation, that is, after the rewriting with the theme-information highlighting principle, the Chinese tourism text will achieve the best English version under the guidance of Skopos Theory.The introduction introduces China’s tourism development, the current status of domestic tourism translation as well as the feasibility of Skopos Theory for the purpose of tourism text translation.The first chapter is literature review.The second chapter explains the translation model of tourism texts, including the introduction of tourism text, text analysis and comparison between a new translation model and the general one.The third chapter presents the“theme-information highlighting principle”, under which the source language could be rewritten during C-E translation.The fourth chapter is the prime one. This paper mainly introduces the German Skopos Theory and tourism text translation under its guidance.In the fifth chapter, the author reaches a conclusion by the above analysis and other theorists’opinions, i.e., the principle of choosing and nurturing qualified translators.In the end, in the light of the German Skopos Theory’s point of view“the end justifies the means”, the author concludes a new translation model about tourism text. The author hopes that this paper could give some suggestions to tourism text translation, and could further improve the quality and maximize the transmission of Chinese culture to foreign readers.
