【摘要】 随着中国经济的发展,以及对外商贸往来活动的日益频繁,商务英语口译逐渐受到人们的重视。在商务英语口译中,中西方文化差异起着不可忽视的重要作用。任何语言都存在于自己特定的文化背景中,商务英语口译实际上是一种商务情境下的跨文化交际行为。本论文旨在对商务英语口译中存在的中西方文化差异进行分析研究,并就其带来的翻译难题,研究相应的翻译策略。论文由五个章节组成。第一章为绪论,介绍本论文的研究背景、研究意义、研究内容和研究方法。第二章介绍跨文化交际、跨文化翻译、跨文化商务英语口译等相关理论知识。第三章从宏观和具体两个角度研究商务英语口译面对的文化差异。该章对中西方思维方式的差异、表达方式的差异、说话习惯的差异、称呼的文化差异,以及习语的文化差异进行了分类研究。第四章针对第三章指出的文化差异,分析研究相应的翻译策略。第一部分为应对商务英语口译中宏观文化差异的翻译策略,即应对思维方式的差异可采取增词、拆译、虚实转换等翻译策略;应对表达方式的差异可采取归化、释译等翻译策略;应对说话习惯的差异,可采取意译、略译等翻译策略。第二部分为应对商务英语口译中具体文化差异的翻译策略,即应对称呼的文化差异可采取略译、回译等翻译策略;应对习语的文化差异可采取直译、意译等翻译策略。第五章为论文的结论部分。对本论文的研究发现进行总结,就提高跨文化商务英语口译译员素质提出建议,并指出本论文研究的局限与不足。商务英语口译译员必须充分重视并认真了解源语与目的语两者之间的文化差异,并有的放矢地掌握应对的翻译策略,提高自身的跨文化翻译能力,这样才能更好地进行商务英语口译。

【Abstract】 With the development of China’s economy, and the increasingly frequent foreign business activities, business English interpreting has gradually drawn people’s attention. The differences between Chinese culture and Western counterpart play an important role in business English interpreting. Every language exists in its specific cultural background, and business English interpreting, in fact, is a kind of cross-cultural communication behavior in business context.This thesis analyzes the Chinese and Western cultural differences existing in business English interpreting, and discusses their corresponding interpreting strategies. It consists of five chapters. Chapter One introduces the research background, research significance, research contents and methods. Chapter Two concerns itself with a summary of theories pertaining to cross-cultural communication, cross-cultural translation and cross-cultural business interpreting. Chapter Three focuses on the cultural differences in business English interpreting from macroscopic aspects and specific aspects. From the aspects of thinking patterns, the ways of expression, speech habits, forms of address, and idioms, the chapter makes a detailed analysis on the main differences in business English interpreting. Chapter Four introduces the corresponding interpreting strategies to tackle the cultural differences analyzed in Chapter Three. The first section is in response to the cultural differences from macroscopic aspects. For example, to tackle the cultural differences in thinking patterns, the interpreting strategies of amplification, division, generalization and concretization can be used; to deal with the cultural differences in ways of expression, the interpreting strategies of domestication and paraphrasing can be used; to settle the cultural differences in speech habits, the interpreting strategies of free translation and omission can be used. The second section is in response to the cultural differences from specific aspects. It introduces such strategies of interpreting ways of addressing people as omission and back-translation. To interpret idioms, literal translation and free translation can be used. Chapter five summarizes the study of this thesis, puts forward suggestions on upgrading the qualities of cross-cultural business English interpreters, and points out the limitations and deficiencies of this thesis.Business English interpreters must attach importance to and conscientiously learn the cultural differences between source language and target language, master the corresponding interpreting strategies, and improve the ability of cross-cultural interpreting to better play the role of business English interpreters.
