本地化视角下的企业网页简介英译策略刍议

随着经济全球化、信息化进程的加快,国内企业为树立良好的国际形象,拓展海外业务而纷纷建立自己的英文网站。然而,多数网站在公司概况的英译上都存在无视文化差异等不足。革除这一弊端的关键在于本地化翻译策略,即译者需综合考虑目的语所包含的意识形态、文化传统与受众心理等要素,积极发挥译者主体性,从而顺应目的语的生态环境。     

顺应论视角指导下拉菲英文官网汉译研究

拉菲是世界顶级酒庄拉菲古堡的简称,是最早一批建立中文版官网的企业,将其视为向中国传播品牌的必然途径。官网翻译本土化能够使网站在文化上更加接近目标受众,从而增加网站的点击量,吸引更多的消费群体。但是翻译的网站势必会与访问者产生一定的文化距离,这会影响他们对网页内容的判断。因此将对拉菲的中英文官网作对比分析,指出译者在英文官网汉译的过程中,应从语言层面和非语言层面出发,对目的语和目的语读者进行顺应。     

功能目的论与商贸汉英翻译中的文化差异

商贸翻译是一项跨语言文化的交际活动,必然会涉及源语与目的语之间的文化差异。为了实现商贸信息的跨文化传递和贸易往来的顺利进行,在商贸汉译英过程中应以功能目的论为指导,以翻译所要达到的目的为导向,即目的决定手段。译者必须根据汉英文化差异的不同类型,采取直译、直译加注、意译、音译、音译加注、代换法等不同翻译方法,把文化差异导致的信息流失降到最低,尽可能地保留源语文化的内涵信息并准确无误地传递给目的语读者。     

图里翻译规范下译者的主体地位

吉迪恩·图里,是特拉维夫学派的创始人。他提出了翻译规范理论,认为译者在整个翻译过程中主要受到源语文化规范和目的语文化规范这两种规范的制约,这两种规则就像两个端点,译者则应该在这两端间动态地选取自己应该采取的规则。本文是在翻译规范理论的基础上探讨实际翻译中译者的地位以及其现实意义。

林纾误译的哲学阐释

解释学认为,林纾误译是由译者理解的历史性引起的．林纾的理解和他前理解构成了解释循环,林纾的创造是受到目的语文化视域和源语文本视域等前理解影响,使得林纾的翻译会有意无意地误译原作。理解的有限性同时也让林纾视域与目的语视域和源语文本视域等产生距离,因此林纾的误译是不可避免的。

Do Mexican Companies Culturally Adapt Their Websites?

Although some articles have tried to address the standardization/adaptation strategies of companies on the internet, there is still a lack of guidance on the issue, especially for companies outside of the United States. To help alleviate this shortage of guidance and provide Mexican web designers, web marketers, and IT managers with some insights into web cultural adaptation, this article conducted a comparative analysis of Mexican based companies’ domestic websites and their U.S. international websites, replicating a cultural adaptation framework from prior literature. Thirteen Mexican based Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (2005) companies were evaluated to test for the cultural adaptation of their Mexican and international websites. A content analysis of 26 Mexican domestic and U.S. international websites reveals non-significant cultural adaptation on the web; however, the results of the web content analysis are similar to those of previous research, which consider Mexican culture to score high in power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity, and high-context cultural dimensions. However, for the collectivistic dimension, the results were opposite to those of previous research, which may suggest a need to develop and test other cultural adaptation frameworks for future research.

An Analysis of the Ethical Codes of Corporations and Business Schools

Reports of ethical lapses in the business world have been numerous and widespread. Ethical awareness in business education has received a great deal of attention because of the number and severity of business scandals. Given Sarbanes-Oxley legislation and recent Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International’s (AACSBI) recommendations, this study examined respective websites of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulated public companies and AACSBI-accredited business schools for ethical policy statement content. The analysis was accomplished by classifying ethical expressions into a framework consisting of the attributes of thematic content and focus/themes partially based on the 2004 research of Gaumnitz and Lere. Findings indicate that public companies have been diligent in presenting website ethical content that closely follows authoritative recommendations. Business schools appear not to have prioritized such disclosure to the extent done so by public companies. Although there was improvement between two samples taken in 2005 and 2007, this study provides evidence that many accredited business schools have little or no disclosed ethical expectations in their mission, vision, goals, or other similar types of statements on their websites. Additional findings provide several opportunities for future research.     

浅谈商贸公司应收账款的管控策略

应收账款是商贸公司常用的商业信用形式之一。应收账款居高不下势必危及商贸企业的生存。之所以会产生这一现象,主要源于市场竞争激烈化、企业清理欠款工作力度不佳以及依法解决债务纠纷的意识薄弱。为销除应收账款的过度积欠,商贸企业有必要建立客户资信台账,评定客户资信等级,合理调整其积欠额度。与此同时,应建立应收账款内部控制制度,明确权限责任,力保资金的安全回收。

Consequences of commercial web presence: an exploratory study of South Korean business adopters of websites

A key research issue to this study is to explore how marketers who have already presented on the web perceive the world wide web as a marketing communications tool. The research focus is on examining what organisational benefits are recognised and how such benefits are associated with organisational features, attitudes towards the web presence and overall satisfaction with the web presence.

The data for this study were collected from a national survey of a stratified random sample of 164 South Korean companies who were running websites at the time. The results obtained in this study suggest that companies, overall, hold favourable attitudes towards their web presence, yet the overall level of satisfaction with running websites was moderate. Four benefit dimensions emerged from the factor analysis. Implications of the findings are discussed.
