5、) 7 禮貌 (courtesy)商務(wù)信函的翻譯要點(diǎn) 1，商務(wù)信函重在記實(shí)，譯文不求虛飾 2，信函中的語(yǔ)氣常由情態(tài)動(dòng)詞表達(dá)，翻譯時(shí)應(yīng)充分領(lǐng)會(huì) 3，商務(wù)信函漢譯英時(shí)，用語(yǔ)和行文可借用漢語(yǔ)中的文言詞語(yǔ)及常用的地道套語(yǔ)。例：“dear “your sincerely 4, 全文將英語(yǔ)商務(wù)信函翻譯成漢語(yǔ)時(shí)可保管英語(yǔ)正式書(shū)信的程式。 5，摘譯 6，留意領(lǐng)會(huì)原文文體的正式程度。在實(shí)踐任務(wù)中，商務(wù)信函翻譯者往往并不要求將信函全譯，而只是摘譯。摘譯信函時(shí)需留意以下要領(lǐng)： a. 摘譯之前必需通讀全文，弄清信件中的一切現(xiàn)實(shí)。翻譯之前還該當(dāng)通讀在此以前的有關(guān)此事的相關(guān)往返信函，并應(yīng)特別留意時(shí)間順序，力求理清事件的來(lái)

6、龍去脈，這是能做到準(zhǔn)確摘譯的先決事件。千萬(wàn)不要恣意猜測(cè)，不清楚時(shí)，應(yīng)多討教承辦過(guò)此事的相關(guān)人員。 b. 摘譯應(yīng)包括信中一切主要現(xiàn)實(shí)的梗概，包括時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、條件等。摘譯有很大的伸縮性，其內(nèi)容取決于資料運(yùn)用者的要求。最簡(jiǎn)單的摘譯是函件摘要，往往要求只用一兩句話概述來(lái)函意圖或涉及何事、有何要求或建議等。 c. 如函件運(yùn)用者要求了解較多的詳細(xì)情況，那么可將信中最重要普通說(shuō)來(lái)也就是最詳細(xì)的語(yǔ)句加以摘譯。 d. 摘譯公函不用拘泥于原文詞句的方式，但必需做到不僅在現(xiàn)實(shí)上符合原件內(nèi)容，而且在語(yǔ)氣上也不失分寸。譯例 提請(qǐng)賣(mài)方留意：我方訂單拖欠至今尚未履行。 We brought to the knowledge
