第十五单元 常用文体翻译 (旅游翻译) 先请比较一下下面一个景点介绍的中英文版本，思考两者在行文方面有何不同。 The President Palace where President Ho Chi Minh lived and worked from late 1954 to his last day September 1969, is now the Memorial site about the life and revolutionary work of the most beloved leader of the Vietnamese working class and people, a national liberation hero, a great man of culture. Uncle Ho’s “House on stilts” is a symbol of his simplicity and gentleness. There are only some rooms here, but all of them are full of wind, light and fragrance from the garden together with a heart trending to era. The President Palace (formerly The Palace of the General Governor for Indochina), with the mango alley, trees, fishing pool… become the vital memories connecting to Uncle Ho’s life during the years from 1954 to 1969. A visit here will teach us more about Uncle Ho’s simplicity and modesty. And we shall be proud of him, be respectful for a great mind, a staunch revolutionary will, a virtue and ideologist, and a man who has dedicated all his life to the cause of revolution and people. The President Palace Memorial site is honored to welcome all people, compatriots all corners of the country and foreign visitors. Thanks for the good heart of all who care for this sacred Memorial site. 参观胡主席故居，人们可以更加真切地了解胡伯伯谦逊、简朴的一生。这位为国家、为人民、为人类幸福而奋斗终生的伟大的智者和思想家，以其坚强的革命精神、高尚的道德风范和公而忘私的人格力量赢得了人们由衷的敬意和爱戴。 主席府纪念馆欢迎各界同胞、各国朋友光临参观故居并了解胡志明主席的生平和业绩；谨向那些对我馆的保管工作予以协助的人表示衷心的感谢。 实际上这是越南胡志明主席故居的景点门票，票面上用英、法、中三种外语介绍，惟独没有越南本国语言。且这三种语言都比较地道，这不得不让我们国内旅游翻译及旅游产业的同仁反思。当前旅游翻译的质量与我国旅游业的发展极不相称，特别是风景越美越原始的地方，其对外介绍的翻译资料就越差越低级，常见的错误有：单词拼写及拼音标点方面错误；语法错误如冠词使用不当，名词单复数及动词形式错误等；中式英语表达；用词不当，语义模糊甚至译文错误；景点译名不统一等。这些都极不利于开拓海外市场，不利于旅游经济发展的需求，同时也不利于旅游翻译行内的发展。旅游翻译属“呼唤型”文体，主要有传递信息、诱导行动的功能。旅游翻译涉及旅游相关的资料与所有问题，包括广告、书信、旅游日程安排及旅游条件书、景点介绍、通知、电讯、有关合同、旅游标语等内容，涉及社会、历史、文化、地理、宗教、民俗、建筑艺术，甚至生物学、动植物学、生态学、考古学等多种学科知识，需要译者除具有扎实的语言功底外，还应具备广博的多学科知识，最起码也应对上述学科知识有一个基本的了解。 旅游文体的翻译，不但要传达源语信息，而且要注意它自身的特殊性。旅游资料的
