14、oreignization strategies Keywords： publicity translation； Skopostheorie； domestication； foreignization 摘要 中国对外交往日益增多使得外宣材料的英译工作越来越受重视，英译质量的好坏也直接影响对 外宣传的效果。鉴于外宣翻译在对外宣传和文化交流方面的重要性，很多专家学者从多种角度对其 进行了研究。但存在的一个问题便是理论和实践未能得到较好的结合。有的研究偏向理论，实际操 作简略粗糙，对实践的指导意义不大，而有的研究拘泥于具体的翻译操作，缺乏理论的宏观指导。 鉴于此，本文本着理论实 践紧密结合的原则

15、，以目的论为理论依据，强调外宣翻译时要根据翻 译目的灵活选择归化异化这两大翻译策略。本文认为外宣翻译有两大目的：一是向世界介绍中国在 政治、经贸和旅游等方面的信息；二是对外宣传中国的文化。外宣翻译第一大目的要求译者以目的 语为归依，较多地应用归化策略，尽量消除英汉两种语言存在的鸿沟，使译文通俗易读；第二大目 的则要求尽可能保留源语的文化特色，较多使用异化策略来翻译文化负载词，从而达到宣传中国文 化的目的。 本文首先介绍了外宣翻译的定义和研究状况，接着介绍了目的论的基本概念并阐述了目的论三 大原则的概念和关系，继而选取两篇实例，根据目的论理论，对其进行分析并从语言层面和文化层 面上具体阐明应如何

16、应用归化异化策略。 需要指出的是外宣翻译内容庞杂，本文不能穷尽所有外宣翻译的类型。本文锁定新闻翻译和政 治文献翻译这两大外宣翻译类型，选择了一篇新闻报道以及一篇政府工作报告作为语料。本文通过 大量的实例分析得出结论：可以通过归化异化策略对原文的语言方面和文化方面进行灵活处理，目 的论对外宣翻译具有较强的适用性。 关键词：外宣翻译：目的论；归化；异化 T山 le ofConten拓 Table of Contents Acknowledgements i Abstract ii 摘要 i越 Table of ConteUts Chapter One Introduction 1 1 1 Rese
