With the rapid development of the economic globalization, the economicrelations between countries are getting closer and closer in the world, and thecooperation forms are varied. Public-Private Partnership(PPP) is more and moreadopted as a cooperation form with its own advantages.This report selects to translate several key chapters from this guide, includingDefining Public-Private Partnership, Setting the framework, Selecting projects, andPreparing projects for market. In order to better publicize and to improve investment,and drive the development of infrastructure construction in Africa, the writer of thisreport translates the guide into Chinese and introduces the background, translationprocess, and case analysis of the translation task, and analyses the language features,text features and the selection of translation strategies with examples from the lexicaland syntactic levels with Nida’s “functional equivalence” as its theoretical basis fortranslating practice. Some conclusions are drawn about English publicity materialstranslation methods. I hope this report can help improve the translation level of thiskind of materials.After all, PPP is a kind of cooperation between public sector and private sector,so the investment promotion and capital introduction are important factors. This guideis just like a window of introducing this kind of cooperational foreign investors. Thisis very important. On one hand, African governments urgently need investment, andon the other hand, a lot of Chinese investors urgently need new investment channels,so this guide with its Chinese translation is a bridge between these two sides. Hopethat the author’s study can help to improve the translation level of these materials, andenhance China’s participation in the African economy development.
