旅游文本的翻译策略

旅游文本的翻译策略摘要:本文针对旅游文本英译所存在的问题,提出了相应的翻译策略。
力求使旅游文本最大限度地将所需信息传递给外国游客,同时,还可以更有效的起到对外宣传和文化输出的作用。
关键词:旅游文本;专有名词;句式结构一、译前准备――了解翻译题材,明确翻译目的每一类翻译都有其文本特性和功能性。
对于文本特性,译者要了解将要进行的翻译文本为何种题材。
从广泛的层面上看,旅游景点的简介属于文化范畴的文本,其中包含大量的历史、政治、经济社会和民俗等相关背景知识。
这就要求译者在进行正式的翻译工作前,尽可能的多去了解有关翻译内容的文化背景知识,这样才能够保证在翻译时有足够的知识基础,不会出现误译或错译。
对于功能性,简言之,就是译文最终的用途为何。
译本翻译质量的高低直接决定其功能性的优劣。
当外国游客看到你的译文时,是否能够在短时间内对该景点有较为全面正确的了解,就是创作好译文的最佳标准。
二、译中难题及解决方案(一)专有名词的翻译对于在目的语中无法找到恰当匹配的专有名词,异化法是最佳的选择。
所谓异化法,就是让目的语译文最大程度接近源语言。
在此次翻译任务中,会遇到大量的地点类专有名词,如:黑虎泉、芙蓉街、五龙潭。
在这三个地名中,虎、龙和芙蓉,我们都可以在英语中找到对应的目标词汇即:tiger,dragon和lotus。
有恰当的对应,可以直译为 Tiger Spring,Five Dragons Pool 和Lotus Street。
但是并不是所有的地名都能找到恰当的对应,比如趵突泉。
若将趵突一词意化,体现出喷涌奔腾之意,再转换成相应的英语恐怕有些复杂,也不便于外国游客的理解。
这种时候最简单的应对方法就是用我们汉语的拼音代替即可。
即,Baotu Spring。
或许有人会质疑这种方法是不是有些投机取巧,其实不然。
从对外宣传的角度来讲,译者在翻译民族特有文化词汇时,可以脱离目的语言的限制,直接用拼音代替即可。
这样可以让外国友人在了解我们自然文化的同时,还可以获得汉语语言方面的熏陶。
旅游文本翻译

例2:
云南有26个少数民族,是中国少数民族种类最多的 省份。各民族的服饰、建筑、风俗、歌舞、饮食等, 形成了一幅美丽的风情画卷。 Home to 26 ethnic groups —the largest number in China— Yunnan Province offers tourists a cultural feast of unique ethnic costumers, architectures, customs, cuisines, songs, and dances.
二、旅游文本翻译要求
虚实转化,各展其长
突出译文“呼唤”功能
1. 推敲原文语境因素,弄清原文实质 这里三千座奇峰拔地而起,形态各异,有的似玉柱神 鞭,立地顶天;有的像铜墙铁壁,巍然屹立;有的如 晃板垒卵,摇摇欲坠;有的若盆景古董,玲珑剔透 ... 神奇而又真实,迷离而又实在,不是艺术创造胜似艺 术创造,令人叹为观止。 --- 《武陵源风景》画册 3000 crags rise in various shapes. They are like whips or pillars propping up the sky; or huge walls, solid and sound; or immense eggs piled on an unsteady boarder; or miniature rocky or curious ... Fantastic but actual, dreamy but real! They are not artistic works, but more exquisite than artistic works. One can not help marveling at the acme of perfection of Nature's creation.
旅游资料的翻译技巧

---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------旅游资料的翻译技巧旅游资料的翻译技巧l、适当的增添。
做适当的增添就是要求译者在适当的时候要添加解释性翻译。
由于地域不同、历史不同、文化背景不同,两个民族对同一事物的理解也存在着很大差异,旅游资料的某些内容,中国人可能人人皆知,可是外国人却对此一无所知。
在这种情况下,好的处理方法就是将这部分知识补充出来。
比如说这样一段话:林子的边上原来有一个洞,传说白娘子曾经在这里修炼。
这句话如果完全按照原文翻译,可译作: Near the forest there once was a cave which was said to be the very place where Lady White cultivated herself。
但是如果这样译的话,外国人虽然也能看懂,却会产生不解:中国的怀特太太在洞里一个不足一平方米的小水潭里怎样修炼呢? 如果能够译作: Near the forest there once was a cave which was said to be thevery place where Lady White, the legendary heroine of The Story of the White Snake cultivated herself according to Buddhist doctrine.有了这些添加,游人才能更好的理解这句话。
对这种含有神话传说或民间故事的景点的翻译, 要进行适当的增添。

有些外国人对我国的传统节日,风土民情很有兴趣,对这些节日的翻译最好能将节日的来历和风俗习惯解释一下。
