题目、摘要、关键词 谈英汉互译中文化意象的转换问题 摘 要：文化意象是了解外国文化的一条重要途径。然而传统的译学研究多将翻译视为语言学的分支，翻译的任务主要是语言分析和文本对照。多年来，人们多强调翻译活动中信息对等的重要性而忽视了原文本中的独特形式和风格。随着翻译研究学派的异军突起，其倡导的文化翻译，文化转向也被越来越多的人认可。文化意象多是属于某一特定文化的形象，因而在处理文化意象的转换过程，采取归化还是异化的手段，常常是译者为之争论的问题。 关键词:文化意象；文化转向；归化；异化 教师笔记/我来评论： （1）审视题目和提纲，判断上面6个问题 （2）从上面6个问题审视摘要 （3）关键词 附：该论文目录 CONTENTS 1.

The speaker exerts great effort to adapt to the hearer’s needs so as to achieve their communicative goals. English business letters, though a written language, requires more attention because of its lack of expressive gestures, bodily postures, eyes contacts, and so on. Based on the Pragmatic Adaptation Theory, I am trying to study pragmatic adaptability in English business letters by presenting how English business letters achieve the goal of communication in the process of adaptation. 比较：
