A Study On The Dynamic Standards Of Practical Translation

Nowadays peace and development is the major theme all over the world. With the continuous development of the national economic and political construction, both direct and indirect investments in China are on the rise as time goes by. All these bring about an ever growing political, economic, technological and cultural cooperation between China and other countries. Consequently, as an important communication means, translation especially Practical Translation is gaining increasingly emphasis than ever before and is making services for social and economic development.Although much importance has been attached to practical translation, the studies in this field are far from satisfaction. Researchers should do a systematic study to discover new problems and explore a new research area. The aim of the dissertation, through a systematic research on practical translation, lies in drawing people's attention to the theoretical study and providing a new perspective for practical translation construction. As practical translation has such important practicability, it deserves scholar's serious attention on both theory and practice. Thus, the author tries to offer a new perspective of practical translation study and proposes dynamic standards for practical translating practice.This thesis is made up of six parts. The first part is an introduction, including research questions, research aims as well as research significance. In part two, a general study on practical translation will be presented, in which includes the definition, orientation, participants and its features. In part three, emphasis will be laid on discussing the source-language centered standards from two perspectives of Chinese and Western translation theories. Part four discusses the target-language centered standards, in which different practical translation standards, from the perspectives of Chinese translation theory and foreign theoretical fruits will be stated respectively. Part five acts as the core of the thesis, in which the writer attempts to provide dynamic standards from different perspectives for practical translation on the basis of former analysis and comparison of the two practical translation standards. Lastly, Part six makes the conclusion.
