篇3：外贸函电用词特点及其翻译
一、大量使用专业术语、缩略词
外贸函电涉及外贸业务磋商过程的各个环节, 以及与此相关的各类单据、单证、协议、合同等, 因此, 函电中经常使用一些专业术语和专业缩略词以达到表意准确、专业性强的目的。例如:
(1) In reply to your inquiry of 2ndJuly, we offer you the following.
兹回复贵方7月2日询盘, 并报盘如下。
(2) The goods under our Order No.3356 are covered against All Risks.
3356号定单下的货物已投保了一切险。
(3) It would be appreciated if you would let us know by return your lowest possible price for the following goods FOB London.
请报下列商品伦敦船上交货之最低价。
(4) As agreed, the terms of payment for the above orders are letters of credit of 60 days’sight or D/P sight draft.
双方同意, 上述订货货款以60天期信用证或即期付款交单方式支付。
(5) Due to a serious shortage of shipping space, we cannot deliver these goods until October 11.
由于舱位严重不足, 我们无法在10月11日之前发货。
在这些例子中, 出现了诸如inquiry, offer, cover等专业术语和FOB, D/P等缩略词。例1中inquiry, offer不是普通英语中的“打听, 询问”和“提供”之意, 在外贸英语中应理解为“询盘”和“报盘”。例2中的cover在外贸英语中也由一般意义转变成特定意义“投保”。例3中的FOB是Free on Board的缩略语, 意为“离岸价格”。例4中的D/P是Documents against Payment的缩略语, 意为“付款交单”, 例5中, “shipping space”是海运业务中的一个专业术语, 不知道的人可能会按字面意思把它翻译成“装运空间”, 但实际上按照海运行业的专业术语, 我们应该把它翻译成“舱位”。因此, 在翻译外贸函电时, 译者需要懂得、熟悉专业的行话和术语, 不能按字面意思直译, 也不能随意自创一些术语、缩略词和套语应选取适当的专用词汇进行翻译。
二、介词的运用
外贸函电中介词的使用极其普遍, 不仅使用频率高而且搭配能力强, 含义也十分灵活。这与两种语言的特点有关, 英语属于静态 (static) 语言, 汉语属于动态 (dynamic) 语言。英语的名词、介词、形容词、副词表达能力强, 是英语组句的骨干词汇, 它们由谓语动词统领, 造成了英语的“静态语势”。汉语组句主要依靠动词词组和短句, 造成了其“动态语势”。因此, 在英译汉时, 译者要尊重汉语习惯。例如:
(6) As your old friend, I have to tell you frankly that the business between us in the last two years has not been satisfactory.
作为老朋友, 我坦率地告诉你, 近两年来我们双方的业务并不令人满意。
(7) There is an over-supply because people have been putting their goods from stock on the market.
现在供过于求, 因为人们一直在清理库存, 把存货投放到市场上。
(8) In view of the small amount of this transaction, we are prepared to accept payment by D/P at 30 days’sight for the value of the goods shipped.
鉴于此笔交易金额较小, 对于这批货物的货款, 我们准备接受30天期的远期付款交单。
例6中介词as译成了动词“作为”例7中介词on译成动词“投放”因此在翻译时, 译者可以联系上下文加以灵活处理, 往往把英语介词译成汉语动词。当然并不是所有的介词都翻译成动词。比如例8中使用了比较正式的介词短语in view of, 为做到文体对等, 凸显外贸函电措辞的正式性, 特地选择了“鉴于”这样一个比较正式的书面语, 而没有使用“为了”、“一想到”等带有强烈口语色彩的词语。
三、礼貌语
在外贸业务中, 每笔业务的达成, 无不与贸易双方的密切合作有关, 因此, 外贸函电中多采用礼貌客气的措词, 为双方的合作营造一个友好的气氛。例如:
(9) Your early reply is highly appreciated.
承蒙早日回复, 不胜感激。
(10) We have pleasure in sending you our catalog, which full information about our various products.
欣寄我方目录, 提供我方各类产品的详细情况。
在翻译这些外贸函电中礼貌客气的措词时, 译者应尽量选择恰当的词语将原文中礼貌婉转的语气表达出来。翻译时可以套用汉语的文言词汇, 比如:承蒙、惠告、恭请、敬候等词, 以使译文礼貌得体, 简明精炼, 庄重典雅。
四、here/there+介词构成的复合词
外贸函电中常使用一些古体词, 即由here, there加上after, at, by, from, in, of, to, under, upon, with等介词共同构成的副词。这些词在日常英语中很少使用, 属于非常正式的书面语, 在外贸函电中使用普遍以显示其行文正式规范。对于这些词的翻译, 译者可按照汉语的表达进行恰当的处理。例如:
(11) If you are in need of any other information not contained therein, please feel free to let us know.
如果其中没有包括贵方所需的其他材料, 请尽管告知。
(12) In compliance with the request in your letter dated March 7, we have much pleasure in sending you herewith our pro forma invoice in quadruplicate.
应贵方3月7日来函要求, 特此随函附寄形式发票一式四份。
(13) All offers and sales are subject to the terms and conditions printed on the reverse side hereof.
所有报盘和销售均应遵守报价单背面所印的条款。
五、结语
我国与世界各国的贸易往来越来越频繁, 外贸函电作为贸易双方交流的一个平台, 其作用日益凸显。因此, 准确理解和翻译外贸函电显得尤为重要。以上对外贸函电的用词特点进行了分析探讨, 只有掌握其用词特点, 灵活运用语言知识和专业知识才能正确地理解、翻译外贸英语函电。
摘要：国际贸易日益频繁, 外贸函电已成为国际贸易交流的一个平台其重要地位日益凸现。作为一种公文文体, 外贸函电有其鲜明的语言特点。本文从外贸函电用词的特点及其翻译进行了分析探讨。

篇4：浅谈外贸英语函电翻译技巧
关键词:外贸函电 翻译 技巧
随着我国加入WTO,外贸业务的日趋发展使得外贸英语函电在外贸活动中充当着不可替代的角色。在双方未曾见面的情况下,如何达到自己预期的目的,往往由外贸函电语言的恰当与否所决定。因此,在正确书写的基础上,能否正确翻译外贸英语函电,对交易的顺利进行至关重要。具体到外贸英语函电的翻译,应达到以下两点:
一、基本要求
(一)将英文外贸函电翻译成中文时要达到信、达、雅的标准
在严复所译的赫胥黎《天演论》的序言中,他写道,“译事三难:信、达、雅。”“信”指的是忠实,译文应该尽可能贴切地表达出原文的意思。“达”指的是通顺流畅,这是在“信”的基础上,进一步让译文流畅顺口,以贴近母语的自然方式表达出来。“雅”是优雅、优美,要让译文和原文“神似”,比如原文里的俏皮表达,在译文里要结合母语的特点也将这种俏皮表达出来。
具体到外贸英语函电的“英译中”,首先,译文必须忠实于原文,需要准确而完整地表达原作的思想内容、情感色彩,甚至文体和风格。其次,译文的语言文字必须规范化,用词造句应符合我国语言的习惯。对于外贸英语函电的翻译,这点尤其重要,需要畅达明了,通俗易懂。
(二)将中文外贸函电翻译成英文时用语要正确
对于各类英文翻译,正确都是一个首要的原则。对于外贸英语函电来说,更应该讲究语法、标点及拼写正确,还要求使用规范的语言、恰当的叙述、精确的数值。例如:
1.我们将委托贵公司作为我公司在毛里求斯的业务代理。原译文:We hereby entrust your company to be our business agent in Mauritius.在这个句子中,entrust一词在作委托解时用法为entrust somebody with something or entrust something to somebody。应译为:We hereby appoint your company to be our business agent in Mauritius.
2.在双方签约之后,各方将严格遵守本协议。原译文:After this agreement is signed by the two parties,all parties shall strictly abide by it.在协议当事方为三方(或三方以上)时,各方为all parties,而当事方为两方时应用both parties。应译为:After this agreement is signed by the two parties,both parties shall strictly abide by it.
二、更高要求
(一)特别注意外贸专业术语
外贸英语函电中的英语源于普通英语,但又是普通英语与外贸专业知识的结合。因此,外贸英语函电除具有普通英语的语言学特征之外,又具有其独特性。独特性之一就是:外贸英语函电中有许多完全不同于其他种类英语词汇之含义的专业术语。专业术语要求单义性,排斥多义性和歧义性,且表达专业术语的词汇都是固定的,不得随意更改。外贸英语函电拥有数量可观的专业术语词汇,要真正读懂它,译者必须懂得外贸专业的相关知识,避免专业术语词汇普通化,否则轻则闹翻译笑话,重则将造成严重的经济损失。
例如:
1.Should you find interest in any of the items in our catalogue,please do not hesitate to send enquiries.译文:如对目录中的任何项目感兴趣,请径直寄来询盘。“enquiry”作为普通词汇,意为“询问、打听、调查、查问”。但在外贸英语函电中,指“询盘”。它在任何时候、任何国家、其译语都是固定不变的,具有国际通用性。
2.May shipment we designate to Kyotaru 5000 tons 1.5% more or less.译文:五月份装船已谈妥,由“东京丸”装载5000吨,允许1.5%溢短装。“more or less”作为普通词汇,意为“或多或少”。但是在函电中它的意思是“溢短装”。
(二)注意函电中一词多义的现象
外贸英语函电中有很多词有多个释义,只有认真掌握了这些词的释义,再联系上下文才有可能把外贸函电翻译好,以不致闹笑话。例如:
1.Wed like to inform you that our counter sample will be sent to you by DHL by the end of this week. Please confirm it ASAP so that we can start mass production.很高兴地通知您,我们的回样将于本周末用特快专递寄给您。请尽快确认,以便我方开始大批生产。
Payment will be made by a 100% confi-
rmed,irrevocable letter of credit,available by sight draft.付款方式是100%保兑的、不可撤销的即期信用证。
在第一个句子中,confirm的意思是“确认”,第二个句子中的confirmed letter of credit意为“保兑信用证”,是指一家银行所开的由另一家银行保证付款的银行信用证。
2.Our product have been endorsed by National Quality Inspection Association.我们的产品为全国质量检查协会推荐产品。
Draft must be accompanied by full set original on board marine bill of lading made to order, endorsed in blank, marked right, prepaid.汇票必须附有全套印有“货物收讫”字样的正本海运提单,凭指示、空白背书,并写明“运费已付”。
在第一个句子中,endorse的意思是“支持,赞同”,第二个句子中endorsed in blank是指背书人只在汇票背面签上自己的名字,而不指定被背书人。
