Abstract/Summary:
Business text translation is of great importance in economic integration. Thus, many scholars have studied the translation of different types of business texts with different translation theories and strategies as the guidance, such as Fussy Language, Politeness Principle and Dynamic Equivalence, etc. These theories provide some guidance for the specific types of texts rather than all types. Newmark's Text Typology as well as the translation strategies are employed in the thesis, attempting to put all business texts into the study scope and provide an overall guidance.The thesis has a literature review of the theories used in the previous study and has a detailed study on Newmark's text typology, which are expressive, informative and vocative, and the eight translation strategies. Business contract, business letters and business advertisements are selected as the research object because they respectively bear the functions of the above mentioned. On this basis, Newmark's translation strategies are employed in business text translation. The similarities and the differences are put forward so as to provide some guidance for business text translation.
