A Report On The C-E Translation Of Airport Operation And Management (Chapter 9,Section 1)

With the continuous advances of China’s civil aviation transportation,the airport,as a vital part of the comprehensive transportation system,is playing increasingly crucial role in promoting the political,economic and cultural development between countries and regions.Hence,the translator chooses Airport Operation and Management(Chapter 9,Section 1)as the source text to carry out its C-E translation and completes the translation practice report under the guidance of Skopos theory,with a view to providing reference for the translation of civil aviation texts in the future.The book Airport Operation and Management,compiled by Professor Zeng Xiaozhou of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics,is the first set of civil aviation professional textbooks with a complete system in China,which systematically introduces the objects,activities and methods of airport operation and management.It is a typical informative text with abundant terms,objective information and rigorous logic.Skopos theory puts forward that Skopos rule is the first principle followed by translation activities,and coherence rule and fidelity rule must be subordinate to the Skopos rule.Based on this,the practice report is guided by the Skopos theory,analyzes specific cases and flexibly adopts translation methods and techniques such as literal translation,omission,inversion,division,amplification and conversion to deal with problems in translation,so as to achieve the purpose of translation and make the source text more fluent,coherent and accurate.This practice report studies the translation of civil aviation texts.On the one hand,it is of great significance to promote the exchange of experience in airport operation and management at home and abroad and further enhance China’s international influence.On the other hand,as the essential content of translation studies,it is of reference value for researchers in related fields.
