Publicity Translation On Energy And Politics From The Perspective Of Skopos Theory

This thesis is a C-E translation report.The source material is excerpted from the New Energy Concept(Chapter XII).This book comprehensively analyzes the global energy pattern and development trend,and reveals the hot issues of China's energy security and development from the dual perspectives of energy and international order.In Chapter XII,“Climate Change and Sustainable Development”,the author mainly discusses the two hot issues of climate change and sustainable development.The "New Energy Concept(Chapter XII)" belongs to the publicity text on energy and politics,and this report aims to explore the translation strategies of such texts.The publicity text on energy and politics has its own specific propaganda function.The translation should not only express the original content completely and accurately,but also take into account the purpose of the whole translation behavior and the expression habits of the target language,making the target text readable.Guided by the Skopos theory,the translator discusses the problems of how to choose translation strategy at lexical,syntactic and textual levels.At the lexical level,the translator uses the part-of-speech transformation method to deal with the numerous Chinese verbs,and expresses the lexical meaning of Chinese in the form of inflections in English,which is mainly embodied in the number of nouns,the tenses and the voice of verbs;at the syntactic level,according to the Skopos theory,the translator chooses different translation strategies for Chinese parallel structure,total-sub structure and other types of sentence structure;at the textual level,the translator uses logical connectors and reference,conjunction and other means to strengthen the coherence within the text and the coherence between the target text and the source text.Through the study and discussion of these problems,this thesis fully demonstrates that it is very appropriate to use the Skopos theory to guide the publicity translation on energy and politics.It will be of reference to the future publicity translation on energy and politics.
