Abstract:

With the gradual expansion of China's influence, the translation of tourism texts has become one of the important media for cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. This paper adopts the translation strategies of the foreignization and domestication, studies from the perspective of the function of the tourism text, and analyzes the proper nouns, Chinese four-character words, and sentence expressions in translation practice at the vocabulary and syntactic levels. Following the vocative function and information function contained in the tourism text, this paper elaborates on the purpose of attracting tourists and promoting the communication between Chinese and Western cultures.
