ABSTRACT
Payment in international trade is crucial for both the seller and the buyer. With the development of international trade, Letters of Credit payment gradually came into being as banks and financial institutions were involved in international trade settlement. With the help of this method of payment, the payment responsibility of the importer is transferred to bank to ensure the safety, as a result, the rapid payment is received by the seller, and meanwhile, the regular shipping documents are given to the buyer conveniently. Therefore, with the benefit of Letters of Credit, the distrust contradiction between the seller and the buyer is solved to a certain extent. Nowadays, payment by Letters of Credit has become the widely adopted method.

国际商务中信用证翻译特点及策略
摘要
国际货物买卖合同中，货物的对付对买卖双方都是十分重要的问题。随着国际贸易的发展，信用证支付方式是在银行与金融机构参与国际贸易结算的过程中逐步形成的。信用证支付方式把由进口人履行付款责任转为由银行来付款，保证出口人安全迅速收到货款，买方按时收到货运单据。因此，在一定程度上解决了进出口商之间互不信任的矛盾；同时，也为进出口双方提供了资金融通的便利。当今，信用证付款已成为国际贸易中普遍采用的一种主要支付方式。
信用证英语作为一门专门用途英语，有其独特的词汇特征。本文拟从信用证的分类，使用过程，以及信用证英语的词汇出发，归纳其翻译特点，并探讨其英译策略。全文分为三章：第一章讨论了信用证的定义、分类及其在国际贸易中的作用；第二章介绍了信用证翻译特点以及信用证翻译中出现的常见错误；第三章是本文的重点，依据上述两章内容，从翻译的功能理论，目的论，交际理论，功能对等等方面讨论信用证翻译策略。
