Introduction
International corporation and communication are gaining increasing development since China entered into World Trade Organization. Business English as a bridge linking China and foreign countries is playing a more crucial role, and is gaining increasing popularity.
Business English Translation involves the conversion of two different cultures. Although culture is very complicated, we can roughly classify it into three categories in scope: (a) material culture which refers to the natural environment ;(b) instituted culture which refers to social system, religious system, customs and national psychological etc;(c) mental culture which refers to people’s mentalities and behaviors, their beliefs, perceptions, concepts of value, thought patterns etc. The cultural differences have greatly affected the various aspects of business activities, and determine the success or failure of business activities. Unsuccessful business translation will not only bring significant economic losses, but will also affect the image of the enterprise and even the country. From home and abroad Business English Translation Research, although the translator noted the impact of the cultural differences for translation between East and West, it is still a lack of systematic attention to cultural differences, there is also a unilateral cognition, Which will make the readers get unnecessary misunderstandings. To do an excellent translation work, it is even more important to grasp two cultures than to master two languages, because the word will materialize its meanings only in a particular culture. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to understand the cultural difference in the background of globalization. In order to master English and successfully complete the task of Business English translation from English into Chinese, successful know about the cultural differences is essential. Therefore, in this paper, the author attempts to discuss the problem of translation of business English from the cultural perspective in detail.
Part One Survey of Cultural Differences and Business English Translation
Now, the economy is becoming more and more globalized and the culture is becoming more and more integrated. People need communicate between different national cultures, geography, characteristics of the times, while, during the process of exchange translation is very important. The translation’s origin is the exchanging of culture, while, communication and cultural exchanges result the translation.
Definition of Cultural Differences
Over the years, different scholars have different opinions towards the definition of cultural differences, and it has been defined in many ways. However, most of these definitions put emphasis on different aspects of cultural differences．
According to the definition put forth by Nida, cultural differences refer to the differences between historical heritage, social customs and cultural tradition between different countries and religions, which are the reflection of the history developing. From the above explanation, we may have an understanding about the culture on the whole. Cultural differences is broad and it involves many aspects, so it is very difficult to give an accurate definition. Generally speaking, we can consider that, Cultural differences refers to the different cultural values, different thought pattern, different social norms and different communication styles among different people from different countries and cultural backgrounds.
Importance of Business English Translation
In the background of economic globalization, business activities have becoming more and more frequently. It is said that there are almost billion people who use English as their first language or second language and most of them use business English everyday in the world. Therefore, the business English translation plays an important role in the progress of communication.
In , Shanghai Expo will be held in Shanghai China. At that time, many enterprises and economic organization will come to invest in China, thus Chinese enterprises may get lots of opportunities to grow and develop. Therefore, when communicating with foreign investors, the business English is very important..
However, during the progress of communication, someone who is not familiar with English may counter lots of trouble. On this condition, the business English translation is in badly needed for them.
The Interaction of Cultural Differences and Business English Translation
With Chinese reform and opening-up policy are pushing forward continuously, the business activities between China and the world are becoming intensive and frequent. Thus, business English translation is marked with strong cultural consciousness. Someone believes that anyone who is competent in English is able to deal with the translation. That is just the wrong attitude result in the failure of translation.
For example, “six” is an unpopular figure, and people regard it as an unlucky number in western culture. However, in China, people often use the number “6” as the trademark of commodities which they think it can bring good fortune, such as “666”, “金六福” and so on. When these products are exported to the western countries, they will receive a cold welcome. The reason is that six is also a symbol of devil in the western culture.
The above example shows how important cultural differences mean to business English translation. So, it is critical to pay special attention to cultural differences for the translator. Thus, the failure of translation will be reduced and avoided on a certain degree.
