商务信函的翻译技巧

2、遵循“忠实，通顺”的翻译标准首先，应当准确、忠实地再现原文信函的思想内容及风格特征。准确达意、简洁明了是英文商务信函的基本特征，因此，合格的译文也理应具备这些特征；其次，由于商业信函与商业贸易业务往来有关，必然牵涉到很多的商务术语，因而在翻译时尽量按照译文习惯使用的术语来进行表达。例如： “I have the honor to notify you that we have commenced a business as commission agents for British goods.” 原译为： “我很荣幸地告知你我们已经开始了一项业务，来作为英国货物的代理”。这句的翻译绝对忠实于原文，但却不能够达到通顺的要求，让人读起来感到特别生硬，须调整语序译为： “我们已经开始了经营代销英国货物的业务，特此通告。”

三、在内容表达上要言简意赅，能够传达足够信息且能够做到机智的表达。
商务信函通常是直接简练，开门见山，忌过分修饰。一般根据写信者所要表达的中心思想分段。正文每段的文字不会过长，尤其是开头和结尾，更常以简短为宜。例 1： “By this letter we would ask you to consider our proposal.”就不如”Please consider our proposal.” 简洁。

本来意义差异很大的词汇在特定语言情境中所表达的内涵和外延却是相似的,如: 1. offer, quotation "报价,发盘" 2. pamphlet, brochure, booklet, sales literature "宣传册子,说明材料" 3. shipment, consignment "所发出的货物" 4. financial standing/ reputation/ condition/position "资信财务情况" 5. fulfill/ complete/ execute/ an order "执行订单" 6. a draft contract, a specimen contract "合同样本" 明确清晰的数量词汇表达. C. 用语朴素,淡于修饰.
3 商务信函的文体特点及其翻译 (1)词汇使用特点 A. 用词规范正式正式词汇,基本词汇和非正式词汇并存,且使用正式词汇和中性词汇的情况较多,充分体现了其规范,正式,公事公办的特性. 常以意义相同或相近的书面此语代替基本词汇和口语词汇,如以inform, advise 代替tell, dispatch代替send, otherwise代替or; 以介词短语代替简单的介词,如以as for, in connection with, in respect, with regarding to代替about, etc. 还常使用here/there +介词构成的复合词,如: hereafter, hereby, hereunder, hereto, hereafter, herewith, thereafter, therein, therefrom等.
B. 表意准确,专业性强大量使用专业术语,行话,外来词,缩略语以及一般词语在商务英语语境中的特殊用法.如trimming charges(平仓费), insurance policy(保险单),coverage (保险项目),premium(保险费), underwriter(保险人),establishment (开证),counter-offer(还盘), counter-suggestion(反还盘),bid (递盘),surcharge(附加费),pro forma invoice(形式发票),clearance sale(清仓削价销售),L/ C(信用证), CIF(到岸价格),FOB(离岸价格)等.
