The motives of the research

Abstract: The tourism has become an important pillar of China's economic development, the booming of international tourism drives the development of tourism translation. Inbound tourists need the name of the attraction during their visit, introduction, and other travel text guidelines. Therefore, the translation of these texts is very important. From the introduction of the current situation of translation of Chinese tourism text, several core translation principles are proposed, three common translation strategies are summarized.

   Hangzhou West Lake is not only a natural lake, but also a cultural lake, it is a product of human harmony with nature, a gene that cannot be duplicated. The West Lake is "the work of nature and humanity", In the spring, "there are flowers are full and willows are all smoke at the Su Causeway", in the summer, "the pink lotus flowers and green lotus leaves reflect the lake", in the autumn, "the lake is full of color in the autumn", and in the winter, "There is a mark of blue and white ink at the White Causeway ". The name starts from the scene, and the scene passes by the name, therefore, such scenic names as " Spring Dawn at Su Causeway ", " Breeze-ruffled Lotus at Quyuan Garden ", " Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake ", " Lingering Snow on the Broken Bridge " and so on spread around the world. There is poetry in the name, painting in the name, to name the beauty of the art of natural landscape.

The current situation of the domestic research

From the 1990s, the research on tourism translation has only started in China. Although some scholars and translators have published articles and books related to translation in recent years, there is still no comprehensive book on tourism translation. Moreover, the study on tourism translation from the perspective of culture and purpose is not deep enough. A search of data found on cnki from 1992 to 2015, however, most studies focus on the translation of Chinese and English tourism publicity.

In recent years, tourism translation has attracted the attention of tourism and translation circles, domestic scholars began to study and discuss the translation skills and theories of tourism publicity, these results of research involve various aspects of tourism publicity and cultural considerations in the translation of tourism materials. There are not only have the considerations of cultural in the translation of tourism materials, but also have studies on the language features of guidewords yet, and it also includes research on the translation of guidebooks and so on. In particular, in September of 2016, Hangzhou has become a major site of foreign relations, as it hosts the G20 summit.The city of Hangzhou, so significant in history, is now welcoming a new opportunity. How should it display itself to friends from around the world? This is a pressing and serious affair for the city of Hangzhou.

The current situation of the overseas research

Few foreign scholars have translated the names of tourist attractions, mostly from the essence of translation, The purpose and technique of translation from the perspective of interpretation. Their theoretical perspective, the foothold of research, It is of great significance for us to explore the cross-cultural communication activity of tourism translation. The famous American linguist Eugene a. Nida (1914-) pointed out in the book Meaning Across Culture (1981): The so-called translation refers to the reproduction of the source language information in the language from the pragmatic, natural meaning to the cultural (style), in order to achieve this standard, it is necessary to follow the colleagues who are conveying the information, convey the intention and style of the original work, and keep the language fluent, so that the audience and the source speakers can produce similar responses to the text. Based on behavioral theory, German scholar Hans Vermeer first proposed that translation is a kind of human purposeful behavior (Zhang Jinlan,2014:35-37). On behalf of the London school at John candy, carter (J.C.Catford, 1917 -) in the monograph (Linguistic Theory of Translation) (A linguistic and found of Translation:An Essay in Applied Linguistics (1965) refers to the translation methods available in translation, namely word-for-word translation, literal translation, and free translation.
