旅游景点英文翻译论文
1. Introduction
Translation is the comprehension of the meaning of a subject and the subsequent production of an equivalent topic, likewise called a "translation," that communicates the same message in another language. The development of transportation means and telecommunication facilities allows more and more people to travel outside their countries for the purpose of relaxation. The translation of signs in scenic spots, advertisements and food plays a crucial role in tourism translation. The scenic-spot translation is specifically aimed at foreign tourists. The large cultural gap between China and the western countries makes the translation of Chinese scenic-spot introductions, which contains a lot of cultural elements, a job that requires painstaking efforts. The translator not only has to have a good grasp of both Chinese and English, but also be highly proficient in intercultural transfer.

1.1 The assessment of translation
The criterion of translation functions as the guiding principles for the translation process and as the standards for determining the quality of the translated works. The original text consists of two constituent ingredients: content and form. Some well-known translators or translation theorists at home and abroad have put forward criteria to judge the quality of translation.
Yan Fu put forward triple principle of translation: Faithfulness, Expressiveness, and Elegance. (信、达、雅)
Lu Xun put forward Faithfulness and Smoothness as the principle of translation. (信、顺)
Alexander Fraser Tyler, a famous British translation theorist, put forward the classical criteria in his Essay on the Principle of Translation.
(1) The translation should give a complete transcript of the ideas of the original work
(2) The style and manner of writing in the translation should be of the same character with that of the original
(3) The translation should have all the ease of the original composition.
Every translator has his framework of some basic translation theory. Different text styles and types require in translation not only different transfer methods, but also different translation criteria.
1.2 Definition of tourism
Communication among nations has long been the main theme of human Tourism is an activity done by an individual or a group of individuals, which leads to a motion from a place to another. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited". The purpose of traveling leads to an awareness of other civilizations and cultures also increases the knowledge of countries, cultures, and history. 毕业论文http://www.751com.cn
