Tourismisoneofthemostprosperousindustry,China,asabigcountry,notonlyboastsalonghistoryofcivilizationbutalsodemonstratesagreatdealofmodernvitality.Itattractsalotoftouristsfromallovertheworld.However,DuetotheculturedifferencebetweentheWestandChina,thetranslationabouttourismappearsavarietyofproblems.1.Mechanicalinterpretation久負(fù)勝名的大東海水如碧、沙如脂、景如畫。Dadonghaiisafamousscenicspotandagiftgivenbynature,thesealikejade,thesandlikerouge,thescenerylikepicture.

Dadonghaiiswell-knownforitsclearwater,whitesandandpicturesquescenery.例如在翻譯樂山睡佛時(shí)“心中有佛,佛在心中”這八個(gè)字很值得玩味,從含義上看,前后可互為條件或互為結(jié)果。即“因?yàn)樾闹杏蟹?所以佛在我心”或“所以心中有佛,是因?yàn)榉鹪谖倚摹?因此可將其翻譯成“MyheartclingstoBuddha,Buddhaisinmyheart.”2.Giveunnecessarydetailsandhumdrum一塊介紹三亞蜈支洲島概況的信息牌上有一句中文是“海水清澈透明,最高能見度達(dá)27米。”被譯作“ThewateroftheseaofWuzhizhouIslandislimpidandtransparentwiththevisibilitydownto27metersdeep.”正確的譯文應(yīng)該是：Thewaterislimpidandtransparentwiththevisibilitydownto27meters.二、復(fù)雜句子簡(jiǎn)單化以下是從景德鎮(zhèn)的介紹中抽出的一個(gè)例子（SL）:感悟人生，感悟泥性，感悟瓷韻悠悠（TL）:Feelthelife,feeltheporcelain,andfeelthehistory正確的譯文應(yīng)該是：Touchtheclay,knowthehistory,andfeelthelife.3.CulturedefaultandNonequivalenceofCulture

（SL）:（白馬寺）創(chuàng)建于東漢明帝永平十一年

（TL）:ItwasbuiltintheeleventhyearofYongpingoftheEasternHanDynasty.正確的譯文是：ItwasbuiltintheeleventhyearofYongpingoftheEasternHanDynasty.(68A.D)由于不同的思維方式和文化背景，同樣的詞可能在源語言和目標(biāo)語言中具有不同的內(nèi)涵。例如：“羊城”被錯(cuò)誤地譯成“Cityofgoats”，傳說很久很久以前，廣州全城大饑荒，民不聊生，突然有一天從天上飛來五位神仙，分別坐在五只仙羊上，仙羊口銜稻穗，神仙把稻穗贈(zèng)與當(dāng)?shù)乩习傩詹⒔趟麄內(nèi)绾畏N植,從此廣州便成了一片富饒的土地。于是廣州就有了“羊城”的由來。從字面上來看，“goat”就是漢語中“羊”的相關(guān)詞。在漢語中“羊”意味著溫順和善良的含義，而在英語中卻有不好的含義，指一個(gè)不正經(jīng)的老人，甚至可以說是一個(gè)色鬼?！把虺恰北蛔g為“Cityofgoats”很可能會(huì)引起文化錯(cuò)位，讓外國(guó)游客對(duì)廣州市有不好的印象。因此“goat”應(yīng)該替換為“ram”，正確的譯文應(yīng)該是：CityofRams4.Uninterruptedsentences例如：(SL)：普陀山屬亞熱帶海洋性季風(fēng)氣候，夏無酷暑，冬無嚴(yán)寒，溫和濕潤(rùn)，四季宜人。島上植被豐茂，種類繁多，有“海島植物園”之稱。(TL)：MountPutuobelongstothesubtropicalmarinemonsoonclimate.Itiscoolinsummerandwarminwinter,mildanddamp,andpleasinginfourseasons.Itisknownasa“botanicalgardenontheseaisland”,forvariouskindsofvegetationontheislandareplentifulandluxuriant.考慮到英文不同的表達(dá)方式，正確的譯文應(yīng)該如下：
