Research on Translation Strategies of Tourism Texts from the Perspective of Eco-Translatology ---- A Case Study of Shaanxi Province and Shandong Province
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
As tourism translation plays an important role in the strategy of improving cultural soft power and cultural outreach, many scholars have conducted research on tourism translation using different theories. Under the framework of the Eco-Translation Theory proposed by Hu Gengshen, this paper conducts a comparative study on the English-Chinese translation of selected tourism texts from the linguistic dimension, cultural dimension and communicative dimension respectively. Through the case studies, the author finds that there are corresponding adaptations and selections in the process of translation of tourism texts, which result in different tourism translation strategies. Based on this, the paper concludes countermeasures and methods to improve the quality of tourism translation, hoping to promote the foreign promotion of tourism resources in relevant provinces and cities.
