汉英旅游景点介绍文本的对比分析与翻译
汉英旅游景点介绍文本的对比分析与翻译第一篇：汉英旅游景点介绍文本的对比分析与翻译旅游宣传是对外宣传的重要组成部分，也是我国翻译研究的重要领域之一。
旅游资料种类众多，包括旅游景点介绍、旅游宣传广告、旅游告示标牌、民俗风情画册、古迹楹联解说等各方面的内容，而其中景介翻译最具有旅游特色，也是旅游翻译中的重点和难点。
旅游景点的翻译是向外国游客宣传和介绍本国、本地的人文、自然风光的重要途径，这就要求译者既要忠实于景点特征和文化内涵，让外国游客准确、全面地了解该地风貌，又要使译文对西方游客有良好的可接受度。
汉英旅游景点介绍性文本有其自身的语篇特点，而其语言和形式受各自特定文化的制约，是以各国游客的阅读目的、欣赏水平和文化背景为基本参照的，因此在文体风格上存在很大的差异。
要使旅游景介文本实现其预期功能，译者必须了解目的语读者对该类语篇的阅读期待，在保持基本意义功能一致的基础上，利用删减和改译等手段在句子结构和表达方式上对原文进行调整，在信息上进行整合。
也就是说，旅游文本的翻译固然首先要遵循翻译的基本原则，但更注重目的语读者的反应和信息获取的时效。
因此，本文以我国主要旅游景点的介绍资料及其英译本和英美两国的相关旅游文本为语料，结合翻译的功能理论，对比分析英汉语旅游景介文本的差异和功能实现方式，具体探讨汉语旅游景点介绍文本英译中信息重组的必要性和原则以及可以采用的翻译方法。
一、旅游景介文本类型分析旅游景介的翻译属于实用文体的翻译，目的和功能是实用文体翻译的依据。
文本类型和它的内容形式、翻译策略有直接关系。
不同文本类型的语言特点、文本重心不同，译本所要实现的预期效果也不一样。
要研究汉语旅游景介的英译，就必须明确旅游景介文本的类型和功能，了解译文的预期目的。
在这一点上，国内外学者基本上达成了共识，认为旅游资料旨在通过对景点的介绍，提供有关自然、地理、文化、风俗等方面的知识，激发人们的旅游动机。
换言之，汉英旅游景介都是通过传递信息达到吸引游客的目的的。

旅游景点名称翻译方法浅析
旅游景点名称翻译方法浅析id=“artibody”>我国旅游业飞速发展，来华旅游的国外游客更是越来越多，外国游客对这些景点的第一印象就是这些旅游景点的名称，因此，这些景点名称翻译的好坏便直接影响到游客对中国的印象，这些翻译也起到着传递中国文化的作用。
本文主要是对旅游景点英译方法的探论。
我们在无论是在阅读旅游资料时还是在各种旅游景点旅游观光时，各个旅游景点的名字是最先跃入眼帘的。
景点的名字都是有所起源，有所根据的。
人们通过这些名称就会对这些景观有一个直观的印象和理解。
对旅游景点名字的翻译最好就是能够更好地传达出深层次的每一个景点所特有的文化底蕴。
针对景点名称的翻译，主要有以下四种翻译方法。
一、音译法通常当遇到用人名和地名来命名的旅游景点，还有一些有特殊意义的特定景区名称，由于在英汉两种语言存在语义空白，两种语言的语义不对等，会采用音译法来翻译，这是景点名称翻译中最简单最常见的一种翻译方法。
这种方法主要根据汉语读音，将景点名直接用汉语拼音标注。
这种翻译方法虽然不能传递出更多的关于景点的信息，但也能够让其他国家的人们体会到中国汉字发音，对引起他们对中国文化的兴趣也是大有好处的。
旅游景点以人名来命名时或者与某些历史人物相关联时，我们常常对这些人名采用音译法。
如，“李白”译为“Li Bai”，“周恩来”译为“Zhou Enlai” “毛主席纪念堂”被译为“Chairman Mao Zedong Memorial Hall”里面的毛主席就被直接音译成人名，对这个历史景点的译名也采用音译和直译相结合的方法。
总的来说，对人名的翻译使用该种方法是比较直接有效的。
以本地地名来命名的旅游景点，一般按汉语拼音字母来直接音译命名。
