【正文】 lation. (4) The translator must have a balanced bination of theory and practice on translation. Practice is the most important step to improve translation level. Most of translation are based on theory firstly, and then improve them continuously in practice, so was done repeatedly, the perfect translation will be provided. So have balanced bination of theory and practice on translation is very important to a qualified translator. 4 Translation Strategies of Business English Contracts According to the general theory of translation, the translation strategy is determined by the purpose and the function of the translation text. The purpose and function of contract document decide that the translation of contract document is different from that of other types of writing. In this chapter, the main translation strategies of business English contract will be illustrated from the following three aspects: word and its translation, sentence and its translation, text and its translation. Word and its Translation In terms of lexical translation, it should be very careful about the concision and smoothness of the Chinese version. Firstly, specialized terms are often employed instead of mon words in business English contract inclusive of those jargons and phrases that are no longer used in other varieties of English。 therefore, we should make it clear that the difference between the specialized meaning and the mon meaning of the words in the contract documents. Besides, the polysemy is easy to be found. Take the word “cover” for example, there are three meanings in the following phrases: “cover the loss”（彌補損失） , “cover all principle risks” (包括所有基本險別 ), “cover the amount of our claim.” (支付我方 索賠數(shù)額 ). Secondly, we should take it into consideration that the formal style of the wording in business English contract. As it has been mentioned, archaic words are often to be used in the contract documents, we should be prevented from using colloquial words in preference to formal words as possible as we can, in order to achieve the solemnity in wording。 we can choose, when necessary, traditional Chinese expressions in translation. For example, Example 1: The undersigned hereby certifies that the goods to be supplied are produced in Japan. 下述簽署人茲保證 , 所供貨物由日本制造。 Example 2: Your prompt reply would be greatly appreciated. 即復(fù)為感。 Last but not least, we should pay attention to the flexible usage of the conversion in ChineseEnglish Translation. For example: The formation of this contract, its validity, interpretation, execution and settlement of the disputes shall be governed by the related laws of the People’s Republic of China. 本合同的訂立、效力、解釋、履行和爭議的解決均受中華人民共和國法律的管轄。 In this sentence, we translate “validity, interpretation, execution and settlement” from noun to verb in Chinese. Here is another example: In consideration of you making a loan available to the Borrower: _______, we hereby issue this Guarantee for the account of the Borrower and agree as follows: 鑒于 你方向 借款人 ： ____提供了一筆貸款，我行 特此 為借款人 出具保函 并保證如 下： In translation of the above fragment of a contract document, the translator is very careful in his choice of words for the Chinese version, especially with regard to the rendering of the bold parts of the original: instead of using “考慮到 ” to render “in consideration of”, the translator chooses “鑒于 ” which is more formal and more monly used in similar official contract documents in Chinese。 the translator chooses “你方 ” which is a term in preference to “你們 ” which is more informal. The same is also true of “借款人 ” instead of “借錢人 ”， “保函 ” instead of “保證人 ”. According to the analysis of the examples above, the Chinese version is supposed to faithful to the original not only in meaning but also in style. And it should be flexible when we translate English into Chinese. Sentence and its Translation. The translation of business English contact on syntactic level is more than words, but the words performing functions grammatically in the sentences as well as the clauses. Therefore, the words will not be translated as what is done in the last session but as the grammatical units. One of the problems in translating contract documents is the handling of plicated and long syntactical structures. To translate such a long sentence in contract documents, the translator should make a thorough analysis of the internal structure and logical relations within the sentence, identifying the progression of ideas from beginning to end. According to Liu Miqing, six techniques are adopted: embedding (包孕 ), cutting (切斷 /分切 ), reversing (倒置 ), splitting (拆離 ), inserting (插入 ) and recasting (重組 ). (劉宓慶 , 1985: 160). The paper will discuss the translation techniques of embedding and cutting in details which are more frequently adopted. According to Liu Miqing, what embedding means is that to match the feature of Chinese, the postmodifiers in English, including particles, infinitives and attributive clauses are often put before the head. For example, “the quality certificate issued by Party A” is translated as “甲方出具的品質(zhì)檢驗證書 ”, “the measures to be taken ” as “采取的措施 ”, “the technical information it provides ” as “乙方提供的技術(shù) ”. As its name implies, cutting refers to divide whole sentence into smaller and independent sentences according to the sense group. Translator should divide this long sentence into a number of small units according to Chinese syntactical characteristic, each of which is then translated into a Chinese short sentence. Finally, these short sentences should be rearranged in a proper order. For example: If the bill of lading contains particulars concerning the general nature, leading marks, number of packages or pieces, weight or quantity of the goods which the carrier or other person issuing the bill of
