Report On The Translation Of Investment Promotion Materials Of RETDA

With the deepening of China's all-round opening up and the sustained attraction of foreign direct investment, the number of investment promotion materials increases abruptly. Rizhao Economic & Technological Development Area(RETDA), after many years' investment and project services, turns into a leading area of opening up and gathering foreign projects in Rizhao. It makes communication and cooperation with foreign countries so frequently that the requirement of translating materials in investment promotion is continuously increasing and updating. The effect of the investment promotion activity depends largely on the quality of its translation but the lack of reference in this field makes the quality of translation diversified. By analyzing such materials, classifying methods in translating such articles and polishing the wording, translation quality can be improved. This report analyzes the features of such materials and summarizes the translation strategies and frequently used expression, in hope of illuminating the translation of investment promotion materials.This report, on the basis of my understanding of the Investment Promotion Materials of RETDA combines with many years' working experience in this area. It attempts to study the English translation of Investment Promotion Materials from the aspects of lexical level, syntactic level and textual level. At the very beginning, this report makes a description of the source text, and then researches the type and characteristics of the text. I intend to make some adjustments according to the writer's original intention, with consideration of such factors as the translation aim, style features of the source text and target readers, which make the translated version conforms with English reading habits and create better translations. Besides, I design and make an investment promotion brochure for publicity both in English and in Chinese.In the field of translation, by providing my own experience in translating investment promotion materials, I hope to make it as reference for the translation in the field.
