Abstract
The translation of scenic-spot introductions is quite different from the translation of other practical writings,i.e.official documents,economic contracts,news reports,and etc.With aesthetic feature,scenic-spot introductions can bring readers aesthetic feelings;however,various kinds of present problems lead to much loss of beautifulness.Regarding to many defects of present studies in this field, this paper probes into scenic-spot introductions from perspective of the aesthetic modes.
Based on translation aesthetics,this paper puts emphasis on the aesthetic features of Chinese scenic-spot introductions by using typical examples.It is pointed out that aesthetics is commonly applied to literary translation,and its noticeable function is also obvious in translating scenic-spot introductions.
The relevant theories of translation aesthetics will be demonstrated first;then,aesthetics subject and object will be analyzed separately to show their roles.Meanwhile it will be mentioned by study that Chinese scenic-spot introductory text has many features different from English ones,such as beautifulness of indirectness,complexity and fuzziness;thus the application of translation aesthetics is proposed.And to maintain the beauty at sound level,lexical level,and syntactic level;the adoption of translation strategies as amplification,deletion and recasting is essential.
As a theory linked with pragmatics,psychology,cultural study and etc.,translation aesthetics can be adopted to conduct thorough researches on tourism texts from many perspectives,And present translation problems,as,spelling mistakes non-uniformity of names,pseudo-equivalence,redundancy,over-omission,
and culture-related errors,contradict essence of aesthetics.Therefore,the present author suggests that aesthetics be a guide to future translation practice,in order to meet tourists’ aesthetic tastes and to test the present versions.
