第六章外贸汉译英信函翻译 外贸函电作为其中最主要的、应用范围最广泛的涉外文书，在国际贸易中扮演着非常重要的角色。如何把函电准确、完整、贴切地翻译成不同的文字，已引趋越来越多的外贸工作人员和外贸文教人员的普遍重视。函电属于应用文体，在翻译上与其它文体既有相通之处，又有相异所在。 1词语翻译方法 1.1一词多义和一义多词 如果查阅一本英汉或汉英的词典，我们会发现许多词的意思并不是一对一的关系。一词多义、一义多词是一种十分普遍的现象。因而在外贸汉译英时，我们可以充分利用英语词汇这一特点，灵活选择英语词语来表达汉语意义。 1.1.1一词多义 例1现另邮给你方最新的价目单和剪样。 译文：We are now airmailing you under separate cover our latest price list and cutting sample．例2望你方能早日装运我方第2213号定单项下的十箱茶叶为宜。 译文：Please ship the ten chests of tea covered by our Order No 2213 at an early date 例33356号定单下的货物已投保了一切险。 译文：The goods under our order No 3356 are covered against All Risks ． 例4秋季展览会展出面积为5,000平方米。 译文：This autumn exhibition covers an area of 5ooo square meters． 例5三天后，开证行将在通知书上告知受益人有关信用证的开证情况。 译文：The initiating bank will inform the beneficiary of the relative L／C in the covering letter three days later． 以上五个句子中翻译成英文时都用“cover”一词，但每一个句子中“cover”的意思相差甚远。 1.1.2一义多词 在外贸函电中，价格是十分重要的因素．没有价格就没有贸易。买卖双方交易时，买方当然希望卖方能报商品的最低价，以获取最高的利润。中文中的“最低价”在英文中有许多的表达方法，请看下面的例子： 例6我们的报价已是最低价，折扣不能再给了。 译文：As we have quoted you our rock—bottom price，we can't grant you an discount． 例7请报永久牌自行车最低价。 译文：please make us your lowest quotation for“Forever”brand bicycle 例8你们将会看出我们这批货物的价格是最低的。 译文：You will find our prices for these goods on the lowest side． 例9如果有兴趣与我方做生意，请报最低价。 译文：If you feel interested in doing business with us，please quote us your best price 例10我们已接最低价向你方报盘。 译文：We have made you an offer at the most competitive price． 例11如果你方向我方报最低价，我方将考虑向你方大量订购。 译文：Should you offer us at the most favorable price，we'll consider placing substantiate orders with you． 上述6句中文中都有“最低价”一词，但在翻译具体句子时，应灵活处理cheapest一词．虽也有“最低价”的意思．但一般不用于外贸函电的报价，因为此词常含有贬义，表示“廉价质扶”的意思，应引起注意。 1.2词的重复和省略 在外贸英语的翻译中,词的重复是不可避免的,这就需要我们在翻译过程中，根据英、汉两种语言
