发布时间：2021-07-23 15:45

　　本论文针对不甚了解英文商务合同的译者和对之抱有兴趣的人士，从功能对等的角度对英文商务合同固定条款的英-中翻译进行研究。首先，论文介绍了学者们先前在对等及合同翻译方面的研究并指出他们的不足之处。基于此，作者采用新的研究方法，建立理论柜架，在奈达对等理论的基础上，通过熟悉英文商务合同的固定条款，探讨了英文商务合同的翻译。为使读者在翻译实例分析之前对英文商务合同的语言有大致了解，作者在下一部分介绍了英文商务合同的文体特征。作者通过大量的实例，为读者揭开了英文商务合同的神秘面纱。最后，作者通过大量的实例分析，从功能对等的角度在词汇、句法和条款等三个层面对英文商务合同固定条款的翻译进行分析。这样，读者可能会对英文商务合同的翻译有所了解，甚至能够在一定程度上掌握之。英文商务合同在经济活动和商业交易中起着起足轻重的作用，英文商务合同的翻译亦然。作者希望本论文能够有所贡献并能抛砖引玉。
