经贸翻译 对外宣传文本英译冗余信息 研究对象 对外宣传英译中的文字信息冗余现象 词汇层冗余性 句法层冗余性 语段层冗余性 解决问题： 解决对外宣传翻译中在文字运用、句式表达、信息组织与传达等方面存在的“中式英语”和“中式思维”问题，以提高其宣传效度。 语料选取范围 [1]官方正式发行的、具有一定的权威性的双语出版物： 《今日中国》 《北京周报》 政府《白皮书》 [2] 地方政府公开发行或公开的宣传文本或文件资料的双语版本 前人的相关研究 John Pinkhom, The Translator’s Guide to Chinese, 外语教学与研究出版社2000。 Limitations: Rather empiric without analytic instrument or demonstrative elaborations Unnecessary words Most unnecessary nouns in Chinese appear not alone but in short phrases, combined with articles and prepositions.
