商务英语翻译中存在的问题与解决方式研究

银川能源学院/刘慧艳

【摘要】近几年，随着我国对外开放的发展进程不断深入，在很大程度上促使我国对外的商务活动不断增多。英语作为一门国际性通用的语言，被我国广大人民群众所重视。特别是商务英语的发展，对我国与国外进行商业往来具有一定的影响。但是通过近几年对商务英语的应用，发现其中还存在着许多不够规范的地方。这种不规范主要表现在：在进行商务英语翻译时，对英语词汇翻译的不准确，以及对句式的掌握不够标准，这为我国商务英语的发展带来一定的阻碍。【关键词】商务英语翻译英语词汇英语句式

当今社会，随着全球化趋势的不断发展，作为国际通用语言的英语，逐渐被各国人民应用到商业交流中，商业英语翻译逐渐被各个国家所重视。近几年随着我国经济的不断发展，商务英语在我国国际商业交流中的作用越来越重要。在进行商务英语翻译时，句子的无歧义和准确性可以解决国际贸易往来中的很多问题，可以在很大程度上推动国与国的商业交流，对于我国社会经济的发展具有重要的影响。

一、商务英语翻译中的句式翻译存在的问题以及解决措施

在商务英语的翻译过程中，中国人一般都比较注重形象的思维。在翻译时，中国人一般较为突出句子中的动作，但是在英语的习惯中，对抽象、逻辑、严密性的思维模式较为重视。一般情况下，均直接对事物进行直接客观地表述，对人称的运用频率很少。一般在商务交流中，习惯运用被动语态，对商务活动中的事物采用被动语句进行阐述。因此，在进行商务英语翻译时，应对这两种形式多加重视，掌握这两种语式的运用方法和翻译技巧。

在进行商务英语的翻译中，翻译者要将英语中所表达的内容准确的展现在人们的眼前。对原文的意识进行详细的分析，并准确理解，避免因词汇含义的差异导致翻译的混淆。在翻译过程中，要尽量的保持原文的本来面貌。与此同时，要掌握商务英语翻译中的必备技巧，运用较为专业的术语对其进行翻译。在英语表述中，有些词汇组合具有固定的含义，翻译者要很好的掌握这些含义，才能保证翻译的准确性，不得按照主观的判断，对其按照自身对其的理解进行翻译，这样很容易出现翻译失误。

二、商务英语翻译中词汇翻译不准确问题以及应对措施分析

在进行日常的商务英语翻译时，往往会出现对有些词汇翻译不准确的现象。这种情况的主要原因是英语词汇的缺失，在所需翻译的文中找不到相应的词汇解释。因此，在进行商务英语翻译时，很容易造成翻译不够准确或者翻译失误等情况，从而导致整个语言的表述不够准确。在商务英语翻译过程中，有些词所表述的中文和英文的含义有所不同，对其进行直接翻译，往往会导致词义被曲解。在进行商务英语翻译时，要考虑到我国和英语国家的文化背景的差异，根据不同国家的不同文化背景，对含义有差异的词汇进行准确的翻译，以免在翻译过程中因为对词汇含义的曲解，而造成商业纠纷或者商业矛盾。在日常的商务英语翻译中，专业性词汇较多。因此，在翻译时会非常困难，往往会出现同一个词汇有不同解释的现象。因此，非常容易出现错误。比如在endorse这一词汇，在一定背景下，可以表示为对某种货物表示满意，可以通过一定的媒介介绍给外界；也可以表示为在书的背面签上自己的名字。因此，在对这类词汇进行翻译时，要根据所给语句整个意思的表述，对这类词汇进行分析，从而结合语境得出正确的解释。

在进行商业英语翻译时，要结合不同国家的文化背景之间存在的差异进行分析。翻译者在进行翻译时，会遇到一些翻译不对等的现象，因此很难将商务英语翻译工作落到实处上来。这就要求广大翻译者，对东西方文化进行详细的分析和探讨，找出东西方文化的相同之处，分析出东西方文化之间的契合点，从而促进翻译工作能够更加准确，并且更容易被人们所接受，理解起来也较为容易。例如，中国的“红茶”，对其进行正常翻译时，应该为“red tea”。但是在英语的表述中却是“Blake tea”，因为，在英文中，主要是对茶叶本身颜色的描述。如果翻译者对这一情况没有充分的了解，就会在商务英语翻译中会出现很大的错误，导致相当程度上的损失。因此，在进行商务英语翻译过程中，要熟练的掌握这些技巧，把握好这些词汇的不同之处。

由于不同国家之间的文化背景有所不同，在进行商务英语翻译时常常会遇到很多问题。例如，同一个词汇所表达的意思会有所不同，这就要求商务英语翻译者具有一定的专业知识素养，同时还要具备灵活的思考能力，能够通过一定的语境，判断相同词汇的不同含义，从而避免在翻译中出现错误。例如，在翻译“W e lcome to the End of the World”这句广告语时，本意是“欢迎到天涯海角来”。但是如果按照中国式的思维模式对其进行翻译，就会有“世界末日的含义”。因此，翻译者要注重这方面的内容，积极提高自身的知识素养，同时培养自身分析能力和灵活运用英语的能力。

三、结束语

商务英语作为各国商务往来的重要用语，在一定程度上促进了经济全球化的发展。我国商务英语翻译过程中，仍存在着一些问题，这就需要广大商务英语翻译者，对英语进行详细的分析和研究，积极提升自身的专业素养，以保证商务英语翻译的准确性，从而推动我国与世界各国的商业往来。

全国商务英语翻译统一考试_4

全国商务英语翻译统一考试 中级笔译试题 注意事项 1. 请首先按要求在试题卷和答题卷的标封处填写姓名、准考证号等； 2. 请仔细阅读题目要求进行答题，答案写在答题卷上； 3. 请保持卷面整洁，不要在标封区填写无关内容； 4. 答题时间为150分钟。 Part I Translate the following sentences into English or into Chinese. 1.国家统计局说，消费者价格3月份攀升8.3%，比2月份8.7%有所下降。2月份的上涨率是将近12年来的最高点。价格升高的部分原因被指是由于1月份和2月份的严重暴雪导致工厂停工，庄稼被毁。 2. 对于钢材、水泥、化肥、化工原料等这类商品来说，只要其规格、样式、型号或化学成分相符，价格优惠且交货及时，买方通常都不会派人去国外进行实地考察。 3.中国能不能顶住霸权主义、强权政治的压力，坚持我们的社会主义制度，关键就看能不能争得经济较快的增长速度，实现我们的发展战略。 4.部分地区由于需求增长，批发茶价几乎翻了一番。所以我公司拟大批量订货，希望贵方备足库存。 5.这个现行办法旨在扶持那些发展中国家与从其他国家进口的产品展开竞争，而不损害我们自己产业的利益。 6. After months of unfruitful negotiation with the trade unions, the government cut the Gordian knot by declaring that workers who did not accept a 2% pay rise would be fired. 7.China’s growing trade surplus has been a point of contention with both the United States and the European Union. China’s major trading partners accuse Beijing of manipulating its currency to keep its value low and give Chinese products an unfair price advantage on world markets. 8. One day’s sick leave with the application, after approved by the departmental head, is to be submitted to the admin executive on the day following the one day’s sick leave. 9. There were a few middle-aged and even elderly women in the train, their silver-wiry hair and wrinkled faces, scourged by time and trouble, having almost a grotesque, certainly a pathetic appearance in such a jaunty situation. 10.The 1970s brought a decline in eating out, but the 1980s, especially in homes where both parents were working, brought a big increase in the demand for many types of restaurants. Part II. Translate the following passages into Chinese. Passage 1 Savings provide one way to take care of financial losses. But savings are not the answer to large losses. The best way to guard against large financial losses is through insurance. Over 4,800 companies in the United States are in the business of providing insurance protection. These businesses are called insurance companies. Because most insurance companies operate on a big scale, they provide a way for large numbers of people to share their losses. Insurance can provide protection against almost any kind of loss. Singers may insure their voices. Photographers may insure their negatives. The owner of a home freezer may insure against food loss in case of a power failure. A business owner can insure his or her place of business. A business owner can also insure against a loss of profits during a shutdown following a fire or damaging accident. Like all private firms, insurance companies must charge enough for protection to pay their operating costs and make a profit. The main factor affecting the price of insurance, however, is the amount of risk involved. The more risk an insurance company assumes for a policyholder, the higher the premium. An insurance company must collect enough money from all its policyholders to pay the claims of those who have

The Chinese team will attempt to surpass the 32 gold medals won at the Athens Olympics, four less than the United States. 7．A Japanese media report says Japan and China have reached a compromise and agreed to jointly develop gas fields and share profits in disputed areas of the East China Sea. 8．The number of newly laid-off U.S. workers rose last week, the latest sign that the economic downturn is affecting the job market. A report Thursday from the Labor Department said the number of people applying for unemployment benefits for the first time rose 22–thousand, to 378–thousand. 9. Chinese economy suffered only a mild setback in the first quarter of 2008, and remains resilient despite inflation and worsening global credit crisis. 10. Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs, saving on the cost of finding replacements. Part II Translate the following passages into Chinese. Passage 1 Most Americans believe someone isn’t grown up until age 26, probably with a completed education, a full-time job, a family to support and financial independence, a survey said. But they also believe that becoming an official grown-up is a process that takes five years from about the age of 20, concluded the report from the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center. The findings were based on a representative sample of 1398 people over age 18. The poll found the following ages at which people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed: age 20.9 self-supporting; 21.1 no longer living with parents; 21.2 full-time job; 22.3 education complete; 24.5 being able to support a family financially; 25.7 married; and 26.2 having a child. “There is a large degree of consensus across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only notable pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having a child and g etting married. “Older adults and the widowed and married rate these as more important than younger adults and the never-married do,” he added. “This probably reflects in large part a shift in values across generations away from traditional family values.” The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, was completing an education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently of parents, marriage and parenthood. Passage 2 Spend less than you earn. This is perhaps the most worn out, overused phrase in the world of personal finance. But guess what? It’s also the single most important financial lesson you’ll ever learn. No matter how hard you work and how much money you earn, you’ll never achieve financial security if you spend more than you earn, so…… do whatever it takes to make sure that this doesn’t happen. This takes self-discipline, and might require constructing a budget, but if you ever want to get to a point where you can afford all the little niceties in life, you need to make it happen. Plan for the future. I’ve been where you are, and I know that “the future” seems like it’s a million miles away. Do yourself a favor. Sit down and define short, intermediate, and long-term goals and then put together a plan for getting there. It’s not easy, and you probably won’t get it right at first but once you do this, you’ll have something concrete to work from (and to modify in the future). Start small and work your way up. Be patient. Building a solid financial foundation takes time. Don’t look for shortcuts or try to strike it rich overnight wit h the latest hot investment tip. Likewise, don’t make major financial decisions wi thout fully considering the ramifications. This isn’t to say that you should be paralyzed fear. Rather, you need to do your homework. Turn those unknowns into knowns, and

英译汉 China has pulled out all the stops to get the 2008 Olympic Games after a heartbre aking loss to Sydney for 2000. State media here have steadily promised a world-beatin g Game at a cost of $20 to $40 billion. Yet such triumphal tones are now giving way t o a more modest depiction of the 2008 enterprise. One former Chinese official, speakin g on terms of anonymity, stated that, “It goes against the Chinese tradition of modest y for us to brag about our games. We need to ensure the quality of materials is high. That's been the problem in our past. It isn't just the c ost. But this plan does cost a lot, and we need to be practical.” Beijing secured the 2008 Olympics after a hard-fought competition with Paris and Toronto. For China, snagging the Olympics was not only a matter of prestige but of int ernational respect. More important, as a Security Council member and a rising power i n Asia, the victory brought confidence that China would now be able to show the worl d its efficient central-planning system and its new technocratic class of savvy organizati onal managers who would put on a world-class games. Still, despite continued hopes for private-sector contributions, the financing side of the games remains largely state-run. The principal partners are state-owned enterprise s: The Bank of China, Air China, and China Netcom. Volkswagen has signed on, howev er, as has General Electric and McDonald''s. Asia''s booming initial-public-offering market is a sure sign that solid economic recov ery is growing deeper roots. The rush to list shares on the region''s stockmarkets signa ls that Asia''s entrepreneurs are back in the game. And it''s not all internet company fe ver, though there''s plenty of that; companies in many industries are lining up to issu e shares. In Hong Kong China, eight companies have listed on the Growth Enterprise Marke t, which opened in late November. The latest to join GEM, China Data Broadcast Holdin gs, rose 310% on its first day of trading on January 24. As in the United States, stoc k valuations sometimes don''t make much sense to traditional-minded investors. But th e stockmarket isn''t about making sense, it''s about making money.
