Translation of Economic Literature and Political Terms with Chinese Characteristics: A Brief Literature Review
Abstract
Economic texts are usually the required translation materials for MTI students in finance and economics universities. The topic includes taxation, accounting, economy, finance, commerce, international trade and etc., which are highly professional, full of abundant terms, and characterized with China’s socialist market economy. The theoretical perspectives of these translation studies range from functional equivalence theory, text typology to skopos theory. After collecting academic journals and graduation theses of scholars from domestic colleges and universities, the author of this paper concludes relevant research literature into the translation of economic literature and translation of political terms, and summarizes the research status of domestic scholars, especially MTI students, on the mastery and application of translation theories, so as to provide some references for further studies in this field.
