On E-C Translation Of Economic Texts From The Perspective Of Communicative Translation Theory

The United States and the Global Economy: From Bretton Woods to the Current Crisis,a book written by Frederick S.Weaver,a professor emeritus of economics and history at Hampshire College,narrates the patterns of change in international financial and trade regimes since World War II in order to deepen the readers’ understanding of recent global economic turmoil.Based on the E-C translation of Chapter Three and Chapter Four in the book,the thesis defines that the target text is an informative text in line with Newmark’s text-type theory,and the major corresponding strategy applied in translation practice is communicative translation theory.Under the guidance of Peter Newmark’s communicative translation theory and with the analysis of the linguistic features of the target text,the author exemplifies and probes into the strategies applied in the E-C translation process from the aspects of words and syntax.Finally,both gains and deficiencies in the translation practice are summarized.
