　　Good morning professors and teachers. Thank you for attending my speech. My name is Li Donglei.

　　I am honored to stand here. First I want to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, professor Cai Sulu. It is with her valuable assistance that I have finally accomplished this thesis.

　　二

　　Today my topic is Stylistic features and Translation Techniques of English Business Contracts .The whole thesis consists of 6 parts.

　　The first part will give a brief introduction of the importance of English business contracts and its translation in the global trading. And the second part is going to analyze the stylistic features of English Business Contracts in specific. As to the third part, I am going to talk about the

　　translation theory of the contract. And the fourth part is about the translation techniques. Then I will sum up the whole paper to make a general conclusion in the fifth part. At last, I will list out all the references I have referred to in the paper.

　　三The introduction

　　To meet the globalization business environment, the English business contracts with its unique characters are playing a decisive role in the international trades. In this point, a deep understanding of the style features of English business contracts is needed, which can help to promote the development of international business activity.

　　Now let’s go into more details.

　　四Go to the second part(不读)

　　Here comes to our first main stage: the Literary Style features of English Business

　　Contracts to analyze it more thoroughly, I have divided it into three points.

　　2.1.1 Formal Words

　　One of the main features of English business contract is the usage of formal words. English business contract adopts a set of formal expressions to do its utmost to avoid misunderstanding. It can be clearly proved by comparing Column A with Column B in the following table.

　　2.1.2 Terminology

　　When we referred to the lexical features of it, I think we should put much attention to the using of terminology; even some normal words can have their special meanings in some certain environment. I have listed a number of them in the table below, now I want to use “balance” as an example. (按出例子) What’s the meaning of “balance”? “平衡”or”余额” in this sentence,?Both are incorrect, Here, “balance” is a terminology of business contract, it means “顺差”. So well understandings of some terminologies are required in translation.

　　2.1.3 Old-fashioned Words

　　There are a lot of Old-fashioned Words used in the business contracts such as: herein”, “thereafter”, “whereby”, and so on. I don’t want to talk about it further .

　　2.1.4 Outside Words

　　Because of some historical reasons, English words are consisted of many foreign words, most of which are used in the formal occasions.

　　Because of the time limits, I have to quit(pass) those examples. if you are interested in them, I can present the ppt to you after the speech.

　　2.2.1 Statement Sentence

　　Besides lexical features, syntactic features are also very important in the English business contract. If you want to know more details, welcome to read my paper, page (9).

　　2.2.2 Passive Voice and Active Voice Sentences

　　The combine using of active and passive sentences can help writers to emphasize their thoughts, at the same time, readers can find the main points more easily.

　　2.2.3 Long and Complex Sentence

　　The long and complex sentences are frequently adopted here. This sentence is a typical example. (按出例子)

　　Here we use “such as” to list out many typical unforeseen events, thus the reader of this contract can have a better understanding of the whole article, which can help to avoid many unnecessary misunderstandings.

　　2.3.1 Application of the Legal Format

　　English business contract is a legal document; we should consider every possibility. Here similar usages always appeared in those legal documents.

　　2.3.2 About“Or” usage method

　　From the grammatical level, it can be found in the same construction of the

　　sentences, such as the following examples extracted from the English business contract. In this example, “or”, commas and semicolons are the tools frequently used in English foreign trade contracts form a parallel structure.

　　3.1 Translation principles

　　You see, my title contains two parts, and we have just finished the first part, now let’s go to the rest.

　　There are four rules to follow, Accuracy, Compactness, Standardization and fluency .besides all the four points, the whole passage must be understood easily, and confined the original meanings to readers.

　　3.2 Requirements of translations

　　To be a good translator, we must have those four skills First, a strong sense of responsibility;

　　Second, a well handle of the two languages;

　　Third, a good knowledge of the subject concerned;

　　The last, a good balance of theory and practice in translation.

　　4.1 Word and its Translation

　　Words are the basic elements of a passage; besides common and specialized meanings, polysemy is also a very common phenomenon. What’s more, to translate more exactly, sometimes we need to use some traditional Chinese expressions.

　　4.2 Sentence and its Translation.

　　从six techniques 开始念，然后说 what’s the meaning of embedding? The meaning of embedding is to match. Because of the time limits, I have to quit(pass) those examples.

　　4.3 Text and its Translation

　　To the text translation level, we should pay attention to the meaning of a whole contract, besides we can turn to some translation templates for help.

　　Conclusion

　　This is the end of my speech. In the first part, I have given a brief introduction of the style features of English business contract including lexical, syntactic and textual features.

　　And the second is mainly about the translation techniques, all the rules can be summarized in four words ”faithfulness”; ”accuracy”; ”conciseness(简明) “and ”conventionalization(惯例化)”.

　　1What are the main features (lexical feature, textual feature)of English business contracts?

　　答：In my opinion, I think it’s the lexical feature. Because business contract act as

　　a formal and legal document. And the usage of words can well reflect its unique characters, which is the main difference from others.

　　2What is terminology? Can you further explain your example here?

　　答：: In the English business contract, the terminology often related to areas like: commerce, trade, finance and law etc. Since I have used “balance” as an example in my PPT, now I want to use the word “CLAIM” to do some further explanation. Here comes an example:

　　We consider it difficult to file a claim against the manufacturers. Usually when referred to, claim means “要求;声称” But here it has a new meaning”索赔”。 So this sentence can be translated like this: 我们认为向厂家提出索赔有些困难。

　　3Can you sum up translation techniques of English business contracts?

　　答：I am going to sum up translation techniques of English business contracts in four words:” faithfulness”; ”accuracy”; ”conciseness(简明) “and ”conventionalization(惯例化)”.

　　4Where did you get these business contracts as your research material?

　　答: There are many available resources around us. Every week, after work, I would go to the school library to find some related books, besides thanks to the invention of computer, I can find many valuable helps there, what’s more, since I am working in a

　　bank ,there are many opportunities for me to look into this area.

　　5Many people have done research in this field, what is new about your essay?

　　答：Truly this topic is not new anymore. But in my paper, I have added some my own styles.

　　The problem was analyzed in three levels,

　　First, I analyzed the usage of words in contracts carefully; the paper has referred to every aspect of words, such as Formal Words, Terminology, borrowed Words and so on.

　　Second, I have put forward the Translation theory of English Business Contract. And all the important aspects in translation of words, sentences and texts levels.

　　At last I analyzed the strategies of translations.
