Exploring the Strategies for Translating China’s New Energy Vehicles into English: A Translation Variation View
Keywords:
New Energy Vehicles, China, English, Translation Variation, translation strategiesAbstract
In recent years,more and more scholars have been using the theory of translation variation to guide their research on the translation of product introduction, but the scope of previous studies has mostly focused on the translation of product introduction in a broad sense, instead of a specific field. In this paper, we’ll build a bilingual corpus of product introduction to new energy vehicles in both Chinese and English, analyze the C-E translation of product introduction to China’s new energy vehicles with examples, discuss the relevant translation strategies in the context of the translation methods of translation variation, and summarize their expression effects and their value in the translation of product introduction. This paper provides reference and new thinking for the use of C-E translation strategies for internationally publicizing China’s new energy vehicles.
