海事英语术语中首字母的翻译策略
Translation Strategies of Initials in Maritime English Terms

在航运强国背景下，海事英语翻译工作尤为重要。海事英语具有明显的结构和语言特点。本文以翻译目的论为指导，从英汉航海技术缩略词词典、海事英语术语库、标准航海通信用语、中国航海之家网站、陆谷孙英汉大词典等渠道，选取含有单个首字母搭配的词语或词组，附加其产生背景和使用规律，分析海事英语术语中字母A~Z的翻译策略。研究发现，海事术语中包含众多的机械翻译，考虑到翻译目的论中的目的原则和忠实原则，进行术语翻译时需结合特殊的语境，采用不同的翻译策略，即形译、零翻译、直译、意译、惯例法等方法。希望本研究能为航海术语翻译研究提供相关借鉴。
