摘要英語作為一種國際語言和官方語言，在國際貿(mào)易交流和合作中扮演者至關(guān)重要的作用。然而，在頻繁的貿(mào)易往來中，雙方會通過談判或函電達(dá)成協(xié)議，并簽訂正式的書面文件—合同。商務(wù)合同作為商務(wù)領(lǐng)域的一種重要的溝通方式，在企業(yè)對外貿(mào)易和合作中顯得尤為重要。本文旨在幫助商務(wù)人士掌握商務(wù)英語的語言特征和翻譯原則，以便其能夠更好地與國外合作伙伴溝通，并順利的開展國際業(yè)務(wù)，以實現(xiàn)中國貿(mào)易全球化。本文首先介紹商務(wù)英語的語言特征并結(jié)合實際工作中所需的商務(wù)合同分析商務(wù)英語的翻譯原則。本文共分為五個部分，第一部分簡單介紹商務(wù)英語的發(fā)展背景；第二部分概括了商務(wù)英語在當(dāng)今商務(wù)合作中的作用和商務(wù)英語的多元化發(fā)展與需求；第三部分主要闡述商務(wù)英語的語言特征，從詞匯，句法和文體各個方面逐一闡述他們的不同特征。第四部分討論商務(wù)英語的翻譯原則，提出商務(wù)英語翻譯的四大原則，即忠實原則，準(zhǔn)確原則，統(tǒng)一原則，簡潔原則。第五部分為結(jié)論，對商務(wù)英語的語言特征及翻譯原則進行總結(jié)，警示我們商務(wù)英語在當(dāng)今高速發(fā)展的社會中的巨大作用，并提出以后在從事商務(wù)英語翻譯工作中應(yīng)注意并且避免的問題。關(guān)鍵詞：商務(wù)英語語言特征翻譯原則
